With the Oscar nominations announced, movies like Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook were able to add some screens and take advantage.  Zero Dark Thirty was also able to open wide on the eve of being announced as a Best Picture nominee.

2013 tends to be a dumping ground for Hollywood movies, but the low-budget A Haunted House made all its costs back in the first weekend, and the long-delayed Gangster Squad did okay in its own right.  Texas Chainsaw 3D dropped a whopping 76.3% in its second week, meaning word-of-mouth is "don't bother."
