As Dandy Don Meredith used to sing on ABC's Monday Night Football, "Turn out the lights, the party's over." It's looking grim for Team Metcalf as Team Salem's lead remains a hefty $239 million. The gap between Cars 2 and Bad Teacher was simply too narrow for Metcalf to pick up any significant ground this week. The good news for Metcalf: he has four movies opening before Salem's next film (Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Larry Crowne, Zookeeper and Horrible Bosses). The bad news: Salem's next film is a little arthouse piece called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Even if Metcalf runs the table with those four films and comes close to catching Salem by July 14, all those gains will be wiped out by Harry.
