The Hangover Part III, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Epic are all tracking toward approximately $15 million for the weekend.

Iron Man 3 is looking at an eighth place finish with $6 million or so.

The Bollywood film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deew and the Matthew McConaughey drama Mud are both on pace for $1.2 million to round out the Top 10 chart.
