Where are you getting that information?
All the publications I've been reading say that it'll be a tight race for #1 between Smurfs and Cowboiz.
1 THE SMURFS $13,300,000
2 COWBOYS & ALIENS $12,994,000
3 CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER $7,860,000
4 HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 $6,625,000
5 CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE $6,600,000
The fact that Smurfs outgrossed C&A on a FRIDAY (usually a low box-office day for children's film) doesn't bode well for Cowboys and Aliens at all. The Smurfs will probably see an increase today and Sunday, and Cowboizes will probably see a decrease. There's no way Smurfs is opening below Captain PowerTop, not after grossing almost $5Mill more on Friday.
I think the real tragedy is CSL only getting $7Mill on Friday. Word of mouth better carry this movie to $100Mill final BO.
