My picks for the weekend of March 15 – 17, 2013:
1. Oz
2. Call
3. Burt
4. Jack
5. Thief
And my arthouse pick is: Ginger and Rosa
Quickly, before I forget to post e’m:
1) Oz TG&P holds for a second week
2) Burt Wonderstone does good enough for #2
3) Identity Thief drops slowly, again
4) Jack TGS keeps a bigger fall
5) The Call rings up enough to squeak the top 5 (or more)
