Four new Wide releases this weekend, and the only one selected is Smurfs (2 players). Unfortunately, it’s early $9M tracking doesn’t make it the projected top performer among newcomers. That distinction goes to I Know What You Did Last Summer which should be only slightly better at $15M.
The critics don’t really like anything other than Eddington, so this is a nice opportunity for the recent holdovers to stack some more cash before next weekend’s F4 invasion.
