Given its budget, Jack is a pretty guarenteed megabomb.  It's this year's John Carter21 and Over will perform similarly to Project X, though a tad less.  So, this week's movies are essentially rehashes of last year's performers.  Given how hated Last Exorcism was, the followup might not even make it into the low 8 digits.  No major Oscar bumps expected.  A rather dull weekend overall, until next weekend when Oz will obliterate everything.
