Once again, Team Weil has the only summer movie slate with any significant business this past week, up $108 million to $842 million to date.
Team Salem’s slate grew $15 million this past week, to just under $725 million this summer to date.
Team Metcalf grew $29 million (thanks to the slate’s final opening, the underwhelming Total Recall), bringing the cume to just over $1.3 billion.
All three films opening this weekend belong to Salem, and the final film in the draft opens the following week (Expendables 2 for Weil). First place is locked up by Metcalf — now the only question is who finishes in second place.
