It's time once again for you film industry experts to step up and play arm chair quarterback! Can you predict what the top 5 films will be?
The big film entering into the competition this weekend is the new "Resident Evil" film "Resident Evil: Afterlife". Will it be big enough to wrestle the top box office spot away from last weekend champ "The American"?
So here's how this works, we're going to be giving away a great pack of FIVE free drink and popcorn coupons valid at AMC Theatres! How can you get this great prize pack?
You'll need to look down the list of all the film that will be playing at AMC Theatres this weekend and then properly predict the #1-#5 films at the box office in order. We'll then go through all the correct predictions and select one winner.
But before you go thinking this is an easy challenge, consider this... last week we had 147 people submit box office prediction... and ONLY ONE person correctly predicted the #1-#5 films. Still think you got what it takes?
Now before writing down your predictions, take a minute to review some of the major films in contention this weekend:
RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE
Synopsis: "Alice heads to Alaska to only find the undead, and an old unexpected friend. She makes her return in the 4th installment of the Resident Evil franchise and is powerless. She takes a few of her "friends" to the Umbrella Facility in Tokyo, only to find a few surprises. More of the ravaged undead, the iconic Majini from the hit video game, and an ally of hers since the cliffhanger ending of Extinction. She will need as much help as she can get to stay alive, and save what's left of the world. And we still wonder....Barry. Where's Barry?"
MACHETE
Synopsis: "The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you!"
THE AMERICAN
Synopsis: "Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate."
GOING THE DISTANCE
Synopsis: "Garrett (Justin Long) has always had a problem with commitment and understanding what women want. He seems to be doing everything right until he learns the hard way that he cannot speak the female language when his girlfriend drops him. That night, his friends want to brighten up his spirits by taking him to a bar. He meets Erin (Drew Barrymore) playing a game and ends up buying her a beer, then winning at bar trivia, and having breakfast with her the next morning. Erin is only in New York City for the summer, and will be returning to grad school in San Francisco in six weeks. They start a no-strings-attached summer fling relationship that turns into a seriously meaningful love affair. They realized that they were meant for each other, but when Erin returns home, will their love survive the distance, between New York City and San Francisco?"
