Superbowl weekend can often be slow at the box office. Especially since most of America is in front of their TV sets all day on Sunday. Many studios have tried to counter program with female or teen themed films, but it rarely works. One movie studio, Warner Bros., won't be ignoring the returns this year because they have "American Sniper" on their team. Clint Eastwood's Oscar-nominated blockbuster took in another $10 million on Friday for a $227.1 million overall come that was mostly earned over 15 days of wide release. The Super Bowl does make three-day projections difficult, but "Sniper" should clear at least $28-30 million over the frame with a final tally of $300 million plus a given at this point. It will easily be no. 1 for a third straight weekend, but beyond that? "Jupiter Ascending" and "The Spongebob Movie: A Sponge Out of Water" have a shot at taking the top spot next weekend.
