PREDICTED WEEKEND BOX OFFICE

Two new films, The Green Hornet and The Dilemma, entered the box office race last week and shot right to the top of the charts. But with the new romantic comedy No Strings Attached, starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, opening this weekend, their reign over the box office could be short lived.

Predicted to debut at number one this week is the new romantic comedy from director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) called No Strings Attached. The film features an all-star cast that includes Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Ashton Kutcher (Killers), Lake Bell (What Happens in Vegas), Cary Elwes (Saw 3D) and Oscar winner Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda). Currently the movie has an average rating of a 4.1 on our site. Out of the four people who have rated the film, two of them have given it five stars and the trailer has had over 25,000 views. Here is what our official reviewer had to say about the movie, "No Strings Attached wastes an intriguing premise and two stars whose chemistry feels real with a reliance on formulaic romantic comedy conventions, bizarrely sudden jolts to the overall tone (in the form of randomly crude jokes and a surprisingly realistic sex scene, which isn't as good of a thing as it sounds) and the total absence of "will they or won't they?" tension." The movie is predicted to earn about $21.5 million in its opening week.

Predicted to fall back one place from last week to number two is the new film from director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), The Green Hornet, which is based on the classic super-hero TV series from the '60s. The movie stars Seth Rogen (Superbad), Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz (In Her Shoes), Tom Wilkinson (Batman Begins), Edward James Olmos (I'm Still Here) and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). Last week, the film made $9,487 on each of its 3,584 screens for an opening weekend total of $34 million. Despite the film's "bad buzz" it has actually received somewhat decent reviews from critics and fans alike, which will hopefully help the film continue to do well in the next few weeks so that it can earn back its entire $125-150 million production budget. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $21 million this weekend.

Predicted to slip one spot back from last week to number three is the latest film from director Ron Howard (Backdraft), the best-friends comedy, The Dilemma. The movie stars Vince Vaughn (Old School), Kevin James (Grown Ups), Jennifer Connelly (Blood Diamond), Winona Ryder (Black Swan), Channing Tatum (Dear John) and Queen Latifah (Chicago). Last week the film made $5,925 on each of its 2,940 screens for an opening weekend total of $17.4 million. But the film will have to continue to do well in the next few weeks if it hopes to earn back its entire $70-$75 million production budget. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $9.9 million this weekend.

Predicted to drop down one place from last week to number four is No Country for Old Men directors Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit, a remake of the classic John Wayne film. The movie stars an all-star cast, which includes Oscar winners Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) and Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (Milk), Barry Pepper (Saving Private Ryan) and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. While the movie dropped 23.3% last week from the week before, it was added on 335 screens for a total of 3,459. The film earned $3,238 on each screen for a weekend total of about $11.2 million. In it's first month of release the movie has now made $126.4 million, which far surpasses its initial $38 million production budget. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $8.6 million this weekend.

Predicted to round off the top five this week, and only slipping one spot back from last week, is the Oscar bait, The King's Speech. The film stars Colin Firth (Bridget Jones's Diary), Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland), Guy Pearce (Memento), Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl) and Michael Gambon (Layer Cake). While the film went up an impressive 41.4% last week from the previous week, it was added in 785 theaters for a total of 1,543. The movie earned $5,878 on each screen for a weekend total of $9 million. Now in just over two months of release, the film has earned a total of $44.5 million at the box office, which is almost three times its initial $15 million production costs. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $7.7 million this weekend.
