After Earth was expecting to open to $40+ million a couple weeks ago, but the closer it got, the worse it looked.  Word of the stench broke out.  It was M. Night Shyamalan's biggest budget to date, but it won't do the numbers of The Last Airbender.

So the magic caper Now You See Me was able to capitalize with a likable ensemble.  Critics aren't in love with it either, but that didn't hurt it.
