WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: It's Cowboys and Aliens and Smurfs in a photo finish at 36.2 million, as the former fell short of expectations and the latter exceeded them.  The Smurfs did best of Friday, so the actuals may put C & A ahead at the end.  Captain America skids 62 percent and makes 24.9 million; the good reviews suggest the steady stream of new product (here, Cowboys and Aliens) is cannibalizing the audience.  Even so, Cap should end up well in the black by the end of his run worldwide. Harry Potter drops another 54 percent (with 21.9 million), much the same as Deathly Hallows Pt 1 did; the big finale is already closing in on a billion worldwide.
