Big Weekend Predicted At Box Office


The studios have picked the Columbus Day weekend to release a raft (no pun intended) of movies ranging from the kid flick Digimon: The Movie to the action film Get Carter to the social satire Bamboozled to the comedy (and likely weekend winner) Meet the Parents.

They'll be competing against last weekend's champ, Remember the Titans, which pulled in a far-higher-than-expected $20.9 million. Analysts have given the lot a sterling appraisal, with many suggesting it could offset much of the box-office slump during September.
