Wanted and Wall.E In Theaters This Week 27 June

Wanted and Wall.E battling for the box-office weekend champion this weekend, we'll see either a hot babe action starer or a CGI smart robot will get the No.1 spot. Wanted an R-Rated movie directed by Timur Bekmambetov [Day Watch & Night Watch] , acted by Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy is a full throttle action-packed movie while Wall.E is a fully animated CGI movie created by Pixar.
Angelina Jolie hasn't appeared quite a while for this kind of action since 'Mr.&Mrs.Smith' in 2005. There are still lots of her fans hunger for that kinda action flick will give a boost for 'Wanted' this weekend [I do probably hope Wanted is not 'Shoot Em' Up - you know what I mean??]. James McAvoy the new Hollywood hearttrob is gaining popularity as well after showcasing impressive performance in 'The Last King of Scotland' and 'Atonement', will be the best bet for Universal's investment this summer though.
After scoring huge in Ratatouille last year with USD390million ticket sales in U.S alone, one of the best selling DVD and Blu-ray 2008, not forgetting as well the winner for best animation in the Oscar 2008, Pixar is a company that you don't wanna mess around. Wall.E is gonna be big this year. The critics are very in favor with this movie indeed. Superb animation, creative story-line, heavy marketing campaign by Disney will be the great formula of success for 'Wall.E'

My predictions this weekend 1) Wall.E USD50Million and 2) Wanted USD25Million - Ibrahem.S
