Not too much has changed since Tuesday, just a bit of reshuffling of the drop-offs from President's Day weekend, although it still looks like Charlie Bartlett and Larry the Cable Guy's Witless Protection will be fighting it out for bomb-o'-the-week with neither looking good to make it into the Top 10. There's definitely interest in Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind among young dudes, although opening in just 808 theaters could limit how far it might go and the Top 5 might be too high for it to reach. Sony's Vantage Point is still going to be well ahead of everything else on Friday and for the weekend, though it might have a significant drop-off on Sunday for the Oscars. Certainly, the lack of strong reviews won't help the movie do a huge amount of business this weekend but still bring in the curious.
Oh, one late addition: the concert movie U2 3D expands from 40 theaters to 678 theaters tomorrow, but it will still probably end up outside the Top 10 with roughly $2 million.
1. Vantage Point (Sony) - $21.8 million N/A (up .5 million)
2. Jumper (20th Century Fox) - $14.0 million -49% (down .1 million)

Outside of a few billboards in NYC, has there been enough marketing to get Vantage Point up to $21m? I'd like to see it perform well, but I predict it only reaches $18m.
I'd like to see Be Kind Rewind, but it ain't in the budget. Maybe I'll imagine what the script is like, and "re-enact" it at home by myself.
