This week, our major addition to the B OXOFFICE.com Weekly Anticipation Index is Angels & Demons, the prequel to 2006's The DaVinci Code.

It should come as no surprise that Sony was interested in making another adaptation of one of author Dan Brown's novels considering that Code raked in an impressive $217.5 million domestically ($238.5 million when adjusted for inflation) after opening to $77 million ($85 million when adjusted). Code is director Ron Howard's second-biggest box office hit behind 2000's Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which raked in a whopping $260 million domestically ($346 million when adjusted). As for Tom Hanks, Code 's leading man, his biggest box office hit remains 1994's Forrest Gump with a domestic haul of $329.7 million ($580 million when adjusted).

While A&D certainly won't top either Grinch or Gump it's bound to be a solid box office success for two well-established talents. Even though it's opening the weekend after Star Trek, A&D won't have to worry as much about overlapping audiences since it will appeal to older crowds than Trek. However, after its opening weekend it will face tough opposition from two incredibly strong newcomers the following weekend. Both Terminator Salvation and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian will eat away considerably at A&D crowds. Expect the latest Howard/Hanks collaboration to open strong with $68 million, before earning around $170 million before the end of its theatrical run.

We've also added Sony's Obsessed and Lionsgate's The Haunting in Connecticut to the list this week. While neither film will break the bank, they should post some modest numbers.
