Can 'Alien: Covenant" Burst Out to the Top of the Box Office?


It is a busy week at the box office with three new releases, but if you trust Scott, only one is going to make a major dent. Ridley Scott and 20th Century Fox hopes May will have a second huge sci-fi hit with Alien: Covenant. There are also two smaller movie that are targeting very specific demographics and can get by on modest returns in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul and Everything, Everything. Even though my interest is low on the two smaller movies (mostly due to being way outside their target demographic), I appreciate it when big studios are still willing to make smaller movies that aren't being designed to draw in massive crowds. A diverse slate that appeal to diverse crowds is what a healthy movie industry needs. Anyway, Scott is serving up his big prediction on what he thinks will be the big grosses so go check them out on his blog.
