Brad Pitt arrives to end Gone Girl's #1 streak. Gone held up very well in its second week, and $150m+ looks to be in play assuming it can keep up the word of mouth and Fury doesn't pose too much of a threat. I'm not sure what Fury will do. It will be a good test of Brad Pitt's drawing power given the okay reviews and Gone Girl going above expectations.  I honestly haven't seen a single ad for The Book of Life and have no clue what the storyline is.  It'll probably do similarly to what Boxtrolls did and will be enough to hold audiences over until the Disney film arrives in November.  The Best of Me should perform modestly, as Nicholas Sparks movies are fairly reliable performers.  Men, Women and Children was supposed to go wide this weekend but given very (very very) poor numbers in limited, it's probably only getting a couple hundred theaters if that.
