WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: 21 Jump Street tops the chart with 35 million, a significant overperformance raising the question of whether it will be effective counter-programming to The Hunger Games next weekend.  The Lorax drops 41 percent to second, with 22.8 million -- but has a domestic 158 million haul against a 70 million production budget.  No wonder they're already talking about a CGI reboot of Cat in the Hat.  John Carter skidded 55 percent with 13.5 million; it will take huge overseas biz to break even on its 250 million price tag.  Project X plunged 64 percent to the fourth slot with 4 million -- but 48 million total to date against a 12 million budget ain't bad biz, even if it is bad filmmaking.  A Thousand Words rounds out the Top Five with 3.8 million; its 12.1 million total isn't bad for a movie that sat on a shelf for years.  In sum, all the action this weekend was in the top two or three pics, as cineplexes brace for The Hunger Games, which most gurus pick to open over 100 million.
