I went on the lower end for Fast Five. I just hate the fact that this movie will be credited with saving us from the slump? No matter how high it does go, Thor will probably open with less. Meaning what we've been saying for years: the last weekend in April is the new start of the summer box office season. The nice thing, though, about most of the movies in the top 10 are how leggy they are getting. Despite mostly middling reviews, audiences seem to enjoy them.
