There is no question about what will top the box office. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug should do so handily. The big question is whether the somewhat poorly received first film will keep many fans away expecting it to be worse. Critics have already chimed in that this one is back on track, if a bit long, so it might still do well.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: I’m a Tolkien fan, so I’ve already got my tickets to The Hobbit. Saving Mr. Banks is a good choice for the specialty box office and American Hustle may be as well.
Peter J. Patrick: And the Oscar hopefuls keep coming.
Tripp Burton: I’m not too interested in the big releases this week, but there is some really exciting stuff sneaking out to a few theatres.
