BOX OFFICEJack the Giant Slayer will debut atop another relatively weak box office weekend.
The fantasy adventure starring Nicholas Hoult is expected to earn approximately $24 million, according to estimates, which would put it comfortably ahead of last week’s champ Identity Thief ($9.2 million), as well as new releases 21 & Over ($8.5 million) and The Last Exorcism Part II ($8 million).
Dwayne Johnson’s Snitch is tracking toward a fifth place finish at roughly $7 million.
It’s a tightly packed chart after that.
The romance Safe Haven is neck-and-neck with both the Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook and the animated Escape From Planet Earth.
All three movies are expected to earn about $6 million.
A Good Day to Die Hard should be in the #9 spot with $4.2 million or so, followed by the sci-fi thriller Dark Skies at $3.5 million.
Gossip Cop will have updates.
