"We were hoping for more, obviously, but we won't get hurt on the movie. And it might do better overseas because of its strong international cast.

From there we have to scroll down the charts to find Angelina Jolie's By the Sea. Written, directed by and starring Jolie alongside her husband, Brad Pitt, the '70s set, disintegrating marriage feature managed only $95,440 on ten screens.

Still in limited release, Open Road's Spotlight showed impressive second weekend returns with an estimated $1.39 million from 61 theaters for a weekend best, $22,925 per theater average.
