Through Memorial Day, the Summer Movie Draft is starting to tighten up.  Team Metcalf leads $318 million to $298 million for Team Salem.  But keep in mind that Salem has two movies opening (the well-reviewed X-Men: First Class and the eagerly anticipated Super 8) before Metcalf’s next movie (Mr Popper’s Penguins).  The race  should go back and forth as Salem then has the final Harry Potter film, followed by two big movies for Metcalf, Cars 2 and Tranformers: Dark of the Moon.  A fun race is ahead.
