The Top 12 Films this weekend are looking like they will total $103 million -- not a great number compared to the past four-year average for the last weekend in March or compared to this weekend last year, when How to Train Your Dragon opened with more than the combined total of the Diary and Sucker openings. The weekend looks like a solid double-digit decline.

Look for updates of the weekend box office on Sunday, based on the Saturday actual numbers. And coming in the next few days is the first in a series of detailed looks at the international performance of current films (a great idea from ShowbuzzDaily reader Ted Frank).
