Lee Daniels’ The Butler is expected to win the weekend box office, according to early estimates.

The historical drama, starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, is on pace for approximately $26 million and the #1 spot in its debut.

Holdover comedy We’re The Millers and new release Kick-Ass 2 are expected to battle for second place at $16 million or so.

Matt Damon’s sci-fi action flick Elysium and the animated Planes should round out the Top 5.

New films including Jobs and Paranoia are currently lagging in projections and are expected to finish with disappointing weekend totals.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
