Suddenly Susan has the full recap below!

How many weeks now have I correctly predicted the number one film? Feel free to bag on me when I do get it wrong, but I am on one heck of a hot streak! It’s no surprise that Thor The Dark World took the top spot for the second week in a row. Tickets sales dropped by more than 50%, but it still pulled in another $38 million.
No shame in their game was The Best Man Holiday which came in at number two with an impressive $30 million take in its opening weekend.
The geriatric comedy Last Vegas climbed up a spot to number three with $8.8 million.
The animated family film Free Birds also climbed up a spot to number four with $8.3 million.
Bad Grandpa got punished down to the number five spot with $7.6 million. This old man still has plenty of steam after four weeks in release.
Gravity floated in the number six spot, same as last week, with another $6.2 million for its astronomical domestic total.
It’s almost game over for Ender’s Game, which has been steadily falling since it opened just three weeks ago. The tween sci-fi action yarn took in $6 million at the number seven spot.
12 Years a Slave came in at number eight with $4.7 million. The great word of mouth on this indie film should keep its ticket sales growing.
Captain Phillips managed another $4.5 million in the number nine spot.
About Time rounded out the top ten with $3.4 million. This dramedy’s ticket sales were a disappointment, but they might recoup their losses on DVD.
Check out the full box office chart below:
1 Thor: The Dark World $38,454,000 $146,965,000

8 12 Years a Slave $4,700,000 $24,949,000
9 Captain Phillips $4,500,000 $97,617,000
10 About Time $3,462,000 $11,568,000
Next week I’m predicting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in the number one spot. The question, just how much will it make? I’m guessing close to $170 million. Tune in to see if I’m right!
Until then, happy movie going.
