Lots of interesting stuff happening outside the top 10, but I don't know how expansions are going this weekend so it's tough to predict. I know A LOT of expansions are happening next weekend. 4 movies go wide this weekend. The Post has been doing huge business in limited, so that gives it the edge. Paddington 2 has fantastic reviews and will hopefully satisfy a fairly empty families-with-young-children market. Proud Mary isn't being screened or having Thursday night shows, so it'll take all the drawing power of Taraji to sell. Luckily, she's got what it takes even if the film will probably freefall after this weekend. Lastly, Liam Neeson once again delivers a B-thriller that will do modest business.
