I don't think we'll know till Monday actuals come in how this weekend will shake out.  The top 5 will be only a couple million apart.  Playing For Keeps is a total non-starter, and doesn't even feel like a real movie.  It feels like a poster you'd see on a sitcom.  Remember those Seinfeld movies?  Rachel, Rachel, Sack Lunch and Chunnel.  This feels like that.  Haven't heard if Silver Linings is expanding, as it only added 4 theaters last weekend.  Maybe they are holding out until after Golden Globe nods?  That might be a mistake with their being 8 films opening wide from the 14th til the 25th.  End of Watch is being re-released in about 1200 theaters, but I doubt it tops $1m for the weekend.  The studio is giving a big push to Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena for awards.
