We're overrun by religious movies.  Despite the overperformances of Son of God and God's Not Dead, Noah will have to overcome controversy to sell.  Decent reviews might help.  Sabotage will do similarly to the recent Schwarzenegger outings - not good.  The Grand Budapest Hotel continues to amaze, and hits 800+ theaters this weekend.  It'll end up one of the best runs of the year, and is making a strong argument that great films can flourish in the first quarter.  Cesar Chavez and Bad Words both get releases in the mid hundreds, only Cesar has mini-breakout potential.
