Box: So am I supposed to Think Like a Man or Walk Like a Man? Because I can't do both at the same time.

1. Think Like a Man Too - $39m / $39m / $105m
2. How To Train Your Dragon 2 - $30m / $100m / $185m
3. 22 Jump Street - $27m / $110m / $175m
4. Jersey Boys - $12m / $12m / $35m
5. Maleficent - $11.5m / $184m / $210m
6. Edge of Tomorrow - $10m / $74m / $100m
7. The Fault In Our Stars - $7.5m / $97.5m / $115m
8. X-Men: Days of Future Past - $5.5m / $216m / $230m
9. Godzilla - $1.7m / $194.5m / $200m
10. Chef - $1.7m / $16.5m / $25m

Think Like a Man Too will do just a tad higher than its predecessor, call it a summer bump.  There haven't been many African-American-aimed movies lately, so that will help.  Jersey Boys has some of the most lackluster marketing for a "major" summer movie, and those tepid reviews aren't going to help.  I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even get in to the 8 figures for the weekend.  Dragon 2 disappointed last weekend, but it has the next month to itself as far as family entertainment goes.  Further down the chart, Godzilla is going to limp to just under $200m, but I suspect Sony will start fudging some numbers to get it past.  Chef is developing into a tidy little sleeper, and given how empty the next two months are I think we might see a few more of those.

ETA: The Rover is also getting a nationwide release, but I can't find a theater count estimate.  I doubt it goes above $2m.
