4 points - Neighbors, $26.0M
3 points - The Amazing Spider-Man 2, $10.5M
2 points - Million Dollar Arm, $10.5M

1 point - Belle


So that makes 13 Top 5 points for The Other Woman, which was only $14. That's the same number of points that Spider-Man will likely end up with.

Also: Noah crosses the $100M mark.

The Other Woman was indeed a surprisingly solid pick. I wish I had taken it.

Chinese Puzzle has done better than I thought it would. Good thing cause I still took it on a couple of slates.

[Shrykespeare]

It did do well, but because of that lackadaisical period a few months ago, no indie films were added to fill out the roster in May. Case in point, no limited-release films on the schedule this weekend at all (for game purposes).

Thankfully, that will change in June, July and August.
