A software upgrade ate my long Thursday post on the weekend’s box office, so we’ll quickly go over Steve Mason’s projections based on early Friday numbers. As Mase predicted, DreamWorks’ summer-style, dopey survelliance thriller “Eagle Eye” starring Shia LaBeouf at 3,400 venues will handily lead with around $28 million over three days. Warners’ romantic weepie “Nights in Rodanthe” with Richard Gere and Diane Lane did better than expected and Mase thinks it will collect around $14m at 2,704 bed and breakfasts. The weekend’s big surprise is “Fireproof,” a marital drama with Kirk Cameron directed by a pair of Christian fundamentalist preachers and opened without advance screenings at around 800 locations by the Samuel Goldwyn Company. Mase is projecting the ultra-low-budget “Fireproof” will sell $4.94 million worth of tickets this weekend, good for fifth place after holdovers “Lakeview Terrace” and “Burn After Reading.” Meanwhile, Spike Lee’s much written-about World War II epic “Miracle at St. Anna” is doing even worse than the dire predictions. Mase prognosticates $3.2 million at 1,1803 locations and 10th place. Disney is the U.S. distributor for the flick, produced mostly with Italian Euros.
