Michael Bay's definition of a small movie won't have any trouble claiming the #1 spot before the real big boys of summer hit next weekend.  The Big Wedding, which I'm still not entirely sure is real, is doing some kind of BOGO deal through a website.  Always promising when a film is just giving tickets away, right?  I can't find a screencount on Mud yet, but I believe its a few hundred theaters tops.  Even with mostly good reviews, I doubt it crosses a million for the weekend.  The news around Reese's recent arrest centers more toward her now being brunette as opposed to having a film come out.  The Company You Keep is advertised as getting a near wide expansion, but I also doubt it draws anything better than moderate numbers. 

ETA: Company will be in over 700 theaters Friday, and Mud with 300+.  I added both.
