The Grey is yet another Q1 actioner for Liam Neeson that reinforces his star power. It should get around $19 million for the weekend. One for the Money shows that while her star is fading, Katherine Heigl still draws a crowd, even when she looks like Katie Holmes on the poster. It should get around $11 million. The other new release, Man on a Ledge, is the first Sam Worthington movie banking on his star power outside of a big-budget franchise (Terminator, Avatar, Clash of the Titans...), and he can take comfort he has Wrath of the Titans later this spring.
Some Oscar nominated movies expanded their screens, and they've been met with a collective yawn. The Artist and The Iron Lady had lower per-screen averages than Red Tails, and even the Best Picture nomination of a Tom Hanks-Sandra Bullock movie couldn't boost Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close much. (I think part of it is the kid's obviously the star and Hanks is dead for most of the movie.)
