If the per-screen average holds for 'Troy,' the film should rake in nearly $20 million for Friday -- definitely on par for $60 million plus for this weekend. Note the sharp decline (66%) for 'Van Helsing.' No amount of damage control could turn the tide on the bad word of mouth. 'Super Size Me' seems to be under-performing a bit too...
