Thanks to the President’s Day holiday, this weekend spanned four days. But the winner remained the same, with Liam Neeson and Unknown charging to the front of the pack of the estimated box office with $25.6 million for the weekend. And while sci-fi teen thriller **I Am Number Four **scraped ahead of ‘toon Gnomeo and Juliet on Sunday, the garden ornaments crept back by Monday to snatch second place. Gnomeo took $24.8 million, whereas I Am Number Four had to be content with $22.6 million.
In fourth place, we find Adam Sandler’s latest comedy Just Go With It sliding down three with $21.7 million, though that was still more than enough to keep it ahead of Martin Lawrence’s third outing in the “hilarious” fat suit, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. That made $19 million and launched in fifth.
Sitting in sixth place, pop moppet Justin Bieber’s film Never Say Never continued to attract its core audience, though it was down from second with $16.5 million. Seventh was The King’s Speech, which took $7.9 million and is now over $100 million across the pond, with a royal total to date of $104.6 million. The Roommate was eighth with $4.5 million.
Kevin Macdonald’s The Eagle had its shiny metal wings clipped this weekend, slipping from fourth to ninth place and $4.3 million, while the 10th slot was taken by sex-friends comedy** No Strings Attached**, which made $3.2 million.
