The Devil Inside is getting terrible reviews, but the marketing was good and there was no genre competition.

Mission Impossible 4 is going to pass the $200 million domestic mark. Sherlock Holmes 2 has an outside chance of doing that as well. Those naysayers who tried to paint it as a flop the first week are eating crow.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is showing strong legs. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had the second best per-screen average in the top twenty.
