Box Office: 'Roommate,' 'Sanctum' Both Hit Soft Super Bowl Weekend Projections

Saturday update:

And that's what it was Friday, when a low-budget genre film -- Sony/Screen Gems' "Single White Female" update "The Roommate" -- led the box office with a $6.4 million first-day gross, according to studio data.
