There are a ridiculous six titles opening in wide release Friday. Steve Mason at Fantasy Moguls, who has a pipeline to tracking surveys commissioned by the studios, reckons the Mark Wahlberg thriller “Shooter” has the best, er, shot at giving “300” a run for the money. He’s also bullish on “TMNT,” aka “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” but less optimistic about the Adam Sandler 9/11 movie “Reign Over Me.” For more about the tracking surveys — where people are called by pollsters and asked about their moviegoing intentions and awareness of titles — here’s an interesting Variety piece you might have missed on how they haven’t been working so well so far this year.
