Cloud Atlas has a $100 million budget, but it's another big bomb for the Wachowskis (The Matrix, Speed Racer).  I think it also does damage to what above-the-title star power Tom Hanks has left.  The other new wide releases (Silent Hill Revelation, Fun Size, Chasing Mavericks) will be quickly forgotten.

Paranormal Activity 4 had a 70% drop in week two.  Shows that word-of-mouth is catching up that this was the weakest of the series.
