Lee Daniels’ The Butler has a pretty good shot of remaining at #1 for a second week with three seemingly unimpressive titles on the way into the marketplace. You’re Next may have the best shot at beating The Butler simply because horror often has a strong opening. However, the film hasn’t quite gotten the advertising it should need to be tops. The other two films are likely to do well, but not that well with The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones a big question, especially considering the year’s two other tween-targeted supernatural romance films have flopped.

Individual Commentaries

Wesley Lovell: I can’t say I’m really looking forward to any of these this week.
Peter J. Patrick: Looks like a so-so week at the Cineplex.
Tripp Burton: Nothing is tickling my fancy this weekend, but if you happen to like some of these genres then by all means check one out.
