One can only imagine what scorchingly candid observations Universal boss Ron Meyer will soon make about his studio's Tower Heist, which is currently more than 30 percent off the pace originally projected for its opening-weekend grosses. America wasn't racing to the latest Harold & Kumar film either, choosing instead a family-friendlier 3-D confection that may yet emerge at the top of the box-office charts. Your Friday Box Office is here.
