Not much has changed, just really minor things based on theatre counts, generally more for Michael Clayton and Across the Universe and less for Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?, although the latter is still likely to be sitting pretty at the top of the box office both on Friday and for the weekend. What's bizarre is that there are only three movies playing in more than 3,000 theatres this weekend, and none of them are likely to end up in the Top 3. (Maybe Disney's The Game Plan if either of the adult thrillers fail to deliver.) With none of the new movies playing at more than 3,000 sites and none of next week's six new movies opening that wide either, one has to wonder how many screens will be showing to empty rooms this month.
