Box Office Gross Estimate 12/17-06

Will Smith is Will Smith and no matter what type of movie or what genre he?s always going to rule the box office. His new film, ?The Pursuit of Happyness? managed to bring in $27 million more than half of its $55 million budget. With Christmas and no other big drams/girly/emo movies coming out, it?s safe to guess that its going to pass the $100 million mark.
The joke of the week has to be either ?Eragon? or ?Charlotte?s Web.? Both are based off children?s books and both cost close to a $100 million, yet together they only made $35 million.
