With the summer movie season rapidly coming to a close and the studios already having fired their big guns weeks ago, it is a relatively boring weekend at the movies. There are two new films entering the marketplace; heist thriller, Taken, starring Paul Walker, Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and a host of others and this year’s scary, indie film, The Last Exorcism. The biggest box office hit of all time will also be rereleased this weekend as James Cameron invites us back for a second visit to Pandora in Avatar: Special Edition. Can Sly Stallone and his tough guy buddies hold on to the top spot for a third weekend in a row? Take a look.

Although technically there are a few more weekends until Labor Day, Sly Stallone officially closed out the summer movie season last weekend with his ensemble action flick The Expendables. There are quite a few new releases hitting theatres this weekend as studios attempt to burn off some stinkers in these last dog days of summer.  The five new films competing for your box office dollars are; family film Nanny McPhee Returns, spoof comedy Vampires Suck (opening on Wednesday), 3-D horror reboot Piranha 3D, urban comedy The Lottery Ticket and rom-com The Switch. Last weekend was the battle of testosterone vs. estrogen with The Expendables facing off against Eat Pray Love and it looks like these two films will once again be battling it out for 1^st place. Who will emerge the champ? Take a look. 

This weekend Sylvester Stallone stars with macho stars from the past and present in his ode to the action flicks of the 80’s, The Expendables. Julia Roberts stars in Eat Pray Love, based on the best-selling novel, and Michael Cera stars in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World based on the cult hit comic series. Last weekend’s champ, The Other Guys will certainly lose the top spot to one of these three new films, but which one? Take a look.

After three weekends at #1, Inception will be bumped by Will Ferrell’s latest comedy, The Other Guys. The real question is whether Inception will place second or third in its fourth weekend and will Step Up 3D mange to outperform it. Take a look.

Three new films will compete for your box office dollars this weekend and try to catapult current champ Inception out of the top spot. Steve Carell and Paul Rudd invite you to attend Dinner for Schmucks; household pets will battle it out in Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Zac Efron sees dead people as the title character in Charlie St. Cloud. Will these new films be box office smashes? Take a look. 

After a nice debut last weekend, Christopher Nolan’s Inception will attempt to defend its box office crown against newcomer Salt starring Angelina Jolie. Without a doubt, it is going to be a tight race to the finish line. Also opening this week, Ramona and Beezus starring Joey King and Disney Channel star Selena Gomez based on the best-selling book by Beverly Cleary. 

This weekend two new films open; 3-D animated family film, Despicable Me and 80’s action movie revival, Predators. Last weekend’s #1 film Eclipse will certainly have a huge drop off this weekend leaving the two new films to compete for this weekend’s box office crown. Will Despicable Me be able to fend off Predators? Take a look. 

Last weekend, Toy Story 3 put the summer box office back on track, but will this weekend’s new films be able to keep things going in the right direction? Probably not. First up is Knight and Day, an action comedy starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz which actually opened on Wednesday. The only other film opening this weekend is the latest comedy from Adam Sandler, Grown Ups. How will they perform? Take a look.

Last weekend the summer movie season was finally kicked in the right direction by the remake of The Karate Kid, the first film all summer to exceed expectations and be labeled a bona-fide hit. The film proved that audiences aren’t sick of reboots and remakes as long as they are done well and this weekend, highly anticipated sequel, Toy Story 3 will prove that there is still plenty of audience demand for sequel properties as well. The threequel is bound to perform really well, but just how much will it actually make? Take a look. 

Hollywood is dusting off some relics from the 80’s this weekend in hopes that the future of the summer box office season will be saved by the past. Based on the hit television show, The A-Team blasts its way into theatres along with a remake of The Karate Kid from 1984. If these films don’t excite you, you can always kick back this weekend with a Jolt cola and play some Pac Man while listening to the soundtrack for Purple Rain.
