Fearless Forecast: 'Fast 6' Speeds Past 'The Hangover' This Memorial Day Weekend

While Star Trek Into Darkness didn’t quite pull in the numbers the studios wanted nor the numbers I predicted, it’s time for it to take a back seat for this week’s newest releases.  Three big movies are coming out this weekend including Fast & Furious 6, Epic, and The Hangover Part III.  Without hesitation I can say that Fast 6 will take the top spot this weekend, but the question remains; how much?

Weekend Box-Office Results: 'Star Trek’s' Warp Core Has Malfunctioned, Fails To Bring In More Than Predecessor

Star Trek Into Darkness was this week’s biggest film and the sequel to a franchise reboot produced by J.J. Abrams.  The guy has his hand all over television with Fringe, Revolution, Alias, and plenty others and has made a solid career as a director with Mission: Impossible III and Super 8.  I don’t want to say that he’s struggling with bringing people to see Star Trek but it does feel that way.  While the film did place first with $70.5 million this weekend, I can’t help but feel Star Trek in this generation doesn’t really appeal to a mass audience.

Fearless Forecast: 'Iron Man 3' Takes 'Gatsby' To His Grave

The Great Gatsby has a lot riding on it.  Well, not really.  The film is another adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel with balls-out director Baz Luhrmann.  He's directed Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet in past and he's known for his crazy visualization but can he make critics happy and Warner Bros. some money?  Critics aren't too fond of this adaptation, earning a 42% on Rotten Tomatoes.  Iron Man 3 was and still is a powerhouse, grossing over half a billion dollars worldwide since opening last week.  Does The Great Gatsby have what it takes to stand against the big boys?
