OPENINGS: No one expected THE CALL (TriStar/Sony) or THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE (Warners) to win this weekend. Call, though, is overperforming, and by Sunday it should be in a position to recoup its $15M (plus marketing) cost–not a big win for Halle Berry, but one of the first she’s ever had as a solo […]

OPENINGS: Saturday will tell the tale on EVIL DEAD (TriStar/FSony/FilmDistrict).
