The only film opening this Friday (10.21) that’s tracking to any degree is Andrzej Bartkowiak’s Doom (Universal)…which the elitists have almost no interest in seeing. The only 10.28 openers with decent numbers are Saw 2 and The Legend of Zorro. The likable and smoothly made Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story (10/21) snuck last weekend and isn’t tracking…yet. Shopgirl and Stay, both out 10.21, aren’t tracking either. And there’s not much interest in Gore Verbinski’s Weather Man with Nic Cage, Paradise Now or The Dying Gaul, which all open on 10.28.
