10. Jem and the Holograms - $3m / $3m / $7m
***Rock the Kasbah - $3m / $3m / $8m

5 openers this weekend, and two might struggle in making the top 10. The battle for #1 is between Last Witch Hunter and Steve Jobs. Vin has done well with that car franchise, but remains an uncertain draw outside of it. (The last Riddick movie went nowhere, and I'm not sure what he's even done other than that.) Steve Jobs did very well its first weekend in limited release, but last weekend it's gross was lower than Sicario when it expanded to a similar number of theaters. It should do fine, though. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is being underbooked, due to Paramount planning an early VOD release. If it had a 3000+ theater count, it probably could have been #1. Jem and the Holograms and Rock the Kasbah have minimal advertising and mostly bad reviews. It'd be a shock if either made more than $5m.
