The Butler and Kick-Ass 2 will have a showdown for #1.  If both underperform, We're the Millers could be #1.  (Go Jennifer!  Millers will likely be the only August release to cross $100 million.)  Kick-Ass 2 is tracking higher than I expected.  I enjoyed the first film, but I just didn't think there was much interest.  The Butler will perform like a mini-The Help.  Paranoia and Jobs are nonstarters, though Jobs is tracking higher than anticipated.  Still, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them debuts outside the top 10.  The big problem with Jobs is that anyone interested in movie about Steve Jobs probably hates Ashton Kutcher.  Blue Jasmine just keeps on trucking, and goes wide next week.
