Your friendly neighborhood box office analyst is currently fighting off the flu so we are going to keep this brief. Clint Eastwood’s latest, Invictus, starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela is the only new release for the weekend. Disney’s The Princess and the Frog expands nationwide after playing in only two theatres for the past two weeks and George Clooney’s Oscar hopeful, Up in the Air expands to about 150 theatres this weekend. I feel like I’ve gone toe to toe with a truck, so I’m going to skip the analysis this weekend and get right to the predictions.
