With all the movies in the ShowbuzzDaily Summer Movie Draft now open, it is fair to say Team Metcalf’s total of $1.346 billion will not change significantly.

Team Weil, currently at $962 million, probably has about $55 million more to get out of Expendables 2 and maybe another $30 million from Dark Knight Rises, putting the estimated final total for the slate at $1.050 billion.

Team Salem, currently at $894 million, probably has about $100 million from the slate’s three most recent releases: another $40 million to go from Bourne Legacy, about $34 million more from The Campaign, and about $26 million more from Hope Springs.  All of that would bring Salem up to $994 million, very close to Weil’s total but not quite enough to break out of last place.
