There\u2019s no doubt that \u201cRide Along<\/strong>\u201d will keep on top of the box office veterans. Considering it opened with $41.5 million, it\u2019s quite impressive that it managed to keep its weekend one to two percent change below 50%, so there\u2019s no reason to think it\u2019ll drop much more than that this time around. Should it dip just 40% moving into its third weekend out, it\u2019ll take second place with a solid $13 million. \u201cLone Survivor<\/strong>\u201d should have no trouble holding strong as well. It\u2019s enjoyed a solid run thus far and considering there aren\u2019t any new heavy hitters moving in, it shouldn\u2019t drop more than 40%, which would leave it with an $8 million fifth weekend out. <\/p>\n Both \u201cThe Nut Job<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cFrozen<\/strong>\u201d are also in a similar position. Even though they\u2019re in direct competition with each other, both are still thriving and with no new family friendly fair dipping into their target audience, they should hold up well. Even if \u201cThe Nut Job\u2019s\u201d percent change creeps up to 40% and \u201cFrozen\u2019s\u201d hits 30%, the former will still claim another $7 million and the latter $6.5 million, which will absolutely be good enough for the fifth and sixth spots. <\/p>\n \u201cJack Ryan: Shadow Recruit<\/strong>,\u201d on the other hand, could have a rough time. Even though it dipped just 41.2% making the move from weekend one to two, it didn\u2019t have all that far to fall to begin with. If it winds up dropping 47% this time around, it\u2019ll be left with just $4.5 million and while that will be good enough to keep ahead of \u201cI, Frankenstein<\/strong>,\u201d the same won\u2019t be true with \u201cAmerican Hustle<\/strong>.\u201d Clearly \u201cI, Frankenstein\u201d is a total bust already, but it\u2019s about to further solidify itself as a lost cause considering there\u2019s a good chance it could lose 55% of its measly weekend one profits and be left with just less than $4 million for its second weekend out. Thanks to \u201cJack Ryan\u201d and \u201cI, Frankenstein\u2019s\u201d quick declines and its own long legs, \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d could hold strong enough to keep the #7 spot. Even if that 28.4% weekend six to seven decline hits 35%, that\u2019ll still give it a little more than $4.5 million to take to the bank.<\/p>\n Considering \u201cAugust: Osage County\u201d is slipping faster, \u201cThe Wolf of Wall Street<\/strong>\u201d will likely earn one last weekend in the top ten. If its 22.5% weekend four to five decline creeps up to about 35%, it\u2019ll take in another $3.5 million, letting its domestic grand total clear its $100 million production budget.<\/p>\n ShockYa Predictions<\/p>\n 1.

We\u2019ve only got \u201cLabor Day\u201d and \u201cThat Awkward Moment\u201d on the way and while one will dethrone \u201cRide Along,\u201d neither will earn big hit status. Of the two, \u201cThat Awkward Moment\u201d will absolutely come out on top.
