SATURDAY PM, 3RD UPDATE: I think we need the U.S. electoral college to see who’s winning box office this Presidents Weekend. Rival studios are telling me that Universal’s Safe House is edging Sony Pictures/Screen Gems’ The Vow for both the 3-day weekend and the 4-day holiday. But Sony Pictures maintains that The Vow is still on top with projected grosses of $24M for Fri-Sat-Sun and $27.7M for Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon. Sony has Safe House with $23.3M FSS and $27M for FSSM. Tough call but I say majority rules for now. Either way holdovers are beating all the new films.

1. Safe House (Universal) Week 3 [3,121 Theaters]
