What had been pitched as a dead heat weekend to see who was holding onto the most audience, week to week, is turning into a “Michael” rout.

A big Friday hints at a $27 million weekend for this spring’s surprise blockbuster. That’ll put it well over $275 million by midnight Sunday.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is doing just fine, but a lot less fine than “Michael” at holding the movie going public’s attention. It’ll add $20 million to its take, according to Deadline.com. It will have cleared $200 million by weekend’s end.

Third place goes to comic Curry Barker’s new horror outing “Obsession,” on track to clear $14.

“Mortal Kombat II” is still making money, another $12-13 million this weekend.

Fifth place belongs to “The Sheep Detectives,” which has the family film field mostly to itself and will tally $10 million.

“In the Grey,” the new military themed thriller from Guy Ritchie and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, is on track to sell $3 million in tickets, out of the top five.

I’ll update this later Sat. and Sunday as more BO data comes in.
