Cameron Diaz and Co. offer some much needed estrogen to the box-office, resulting in a modest performer.  The Other Woman and Heaven Is For Real (which ended up #2 last week) will probably be the only two movies to not be wiped out by Spider-Man next weekend.  Brick Mansions, which I'm certain is only getting a theatrical release because of Paul Walker's death, won't go anywhere.  The ads for it are awful, as there is one where the characters are whispering "brick mansions" a la Spring Breakers' characters whispering "spring break".  Good job, marketing!  The Quiet Ones will do even less than Oculus.  Thank goodness the summer movie season starts next week!
