7. The Tourist - $7.5m / $30m / $54m
8. Black Swan - $7m / $14.5m / $50m
9. Harry Potter - $4.5m / $265.5m / $284m
10. Unstoppable - $2m / $77.5m / $86m

Black Swan continues to impress in limited and has its wide release bumped up to this weekend. I know I've stated umpteen times that once it goes wide, it's done, but it still should pull in a very respectable amount. I'm attributing audiences being bored by the stale multiplex product to the film's success. Speaking of stale products, Yogi Bear could find itself doing Alvin and the Chipmunks-lite numbers. Sad. I could have sworn I heard the original Tron was a huge bomb, so why we're getting a sequel decades later is questionable. It might bode well that modern audiences don't know that this is a sequel and the film's marketing has been slick. And a week after The Tourist bombed (but got three Golden Globe nods!) Sony delivers another megabomb. How Do You Know cost $120 million and I'm predicting it will barely make a third of that. Lastly, The Fighter begins what should be a leggy run.
