Jessica Chastain is Queen of the Box Office.
The Oscar nominee’s new horror movie Mama is expected to open at #1 for the long holiday weekend with approximately $30 million, while the actress’ manhunt thriller Zero Dark Thirty should hit second place at about $20 million for the Friday-Monday period.
Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, is on pace for $13 million and a Top 3 finish.
Things get very crowded after that.
Gangster Squad will probably be #4 with a projected $11 million, followed closely by a pack of films all expected to earn between $9 and $10 million: Broken City, A Haunted House, Django Unchained, and Les Miserables.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is tracking toward $8.5 million and ninth place, following by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s comeback The Last Stand, which is expected to earn $6 million.
