Two openers, No Escape and We Are Your Friends. No Escape looks like the typical late summer adult-aimed thriller, while We Are Your Friends..well, I'm not even sure. He's a DJ and he's having problems? I don't see it breaking out of single digits, and Zac Efron definately isn't much of a draw anymore. The holdovers (minus last week's duds) should post strong holds. Also, I don't think I'm supposed to laugh that hard (or at all?) when Owen Wilson tosses his daughter from one building to another. I'm not sure how many screens Z For Zachariah is getting - I know it's getting a VOD release to coincide - but the studio should have released it in a couple hundred theaters and expanded it wide next weekend instead.

ETA:

A Christian film from the Fireproof/Courageous team is coming out this weekend, too. Those films were surprise performers so this might not have trouble making the top 5.
