On this week's On the Lot, Rebecca Keegan of the LA Times fills us in on the latest battle at the box office.

On this week's On the Lot, Rebecca Keegan of the LA Times fills us in on the latest battle at the box office:

If, after all the numbers are counted, it does come out on top, that will be five weeks in a row that a film starring a black man finished at no. 1 at the box office.

  • "The Visit" could take that glory away from "The Perfect Guy," which was meant as a sort of comeback for Shyamalan.
