Greg Kinnear, Renee Zellweger, and Djimon Hounsou make up this cast about a man trying to save his marriage by coming to the aid of a homeless man.

We’ll see how long these films can hold their spot with next weekend’s batch of new releases. They include the eighth installment of the Saw series, Jigsaw, and George Clooney’s Suburbicon starring Matt Damon.
