Weekend Box Office February 18th - 20th

After a strong box office last weekend this weekend has toned down a bit and seen plenty of change again. Lets get to it!

1. Unknown: $21.8 Million, *OPENING WEEKEND*
2. I Am Number Four: $19.5 Million, *OPENING WEEKEND*
3. Gnomeo and Juliet: $19.4 Million, with $50.4 Million Overall
4. Just Go With It: $18.2 Million, with $60.8 Million Overall
5. Big Mommas Like Father, Like Son: $17 Million *OPENING WEEKEND*
6. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never: $13.6 Million, with $48.5 Million Overall
7. The King's Speech: $6.6 Million, with $103.3 Million Overall
8. The Roommate: $4.1 Million, with $32.7 Million Overall
9. The Eagle: $3.6 Million, with $15.1 Million Overall
10. No Strings Attached: $3.1 Million, with $66 Million Overall

There you have it! It looks like with Unknown looking like Liam Neeson's 2010 hit Taken that it put butts in seats and took the number 1 spot from Twilight Superheroes I Am Number Four.  Last week's number 1 and 2 films took a dive in interest with Just Go With It dropping to 4th and Bieber Fever cooling off to 6th. Nothing took a bigger dive then The Eagle which is proving to be 2011's first goose egg it seems.

Next week sees 2 big releases in Hall Pass starring Owen Wilson where he and his buddies get a week off marriage to to whatever they want and Drive Angry where Nick Cage continues to do any film he can find to keep from going to jail starring as a man who escapes hell to save his grand daughter from a cult. Can Owen Wilson slay the box office with his Applebees shenanigans? or will Cage and another one of his terrible films own the weekend. We will find out soon!
