No Strings Attached scored the #1 slut… slot at the box office, bedding about $19 million to sexile The Green Hornet. The Way Back averaged under $2k per screen to net $1.2 mil and The Company Men collected more than $6k per screen on only 106 engagements. This week’s entries feature Jay Stay fixin’ problems, a possessed Anthony Hopkins who may be into Fox News, a biutiful single dad, and a couple of spoiled sisters who lose their line of credit. Screw the Pro Bowl, NHL All-Star Game, and the Winter X-Games and get righteous with these movie previews.

The Green Hornet beat out The Dilemma at the box office over MLK weekend with nearly twice the revenue, $40 mil to $20 mil. January’s a tough month for theatrical releases; it’s a timeframe where studios dump their less than stellar projects and productions with modest to low expectations. For The Green Hornet to perform like it did is a surprise. This week’s new entries feature casual sex, unemployment, hired help, and the long road to freedom. Check our preview of this week’s new releases after the jump!

True Grit finally supplanted Little Martha Fockers at the top spot of the B.O. last week, taking in $14 million. New entry Season of the Witch reeled in $10 million at the #3 spot while Country Strong expanded by around 1,400 theaters and hauled in $7.3 mil in the #6 slot. What can we say, people prefer fictional witches with mystical powers over real bitches with the menstrual powers. Makes sense. This week’s entries feature a difficult moral decision, Seth Rogen as a superhero, and a robot doctor. Put down the confusing horoscope and read on.

Last weekend Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader took the crown at the box office pulling in $24 mil while the combined firepower of A-listers Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie couldn’t push The Tourist to crack $20 mil.

This week’s entries include an aging love triangle, a talking, stealing bear, platonic parents, and the return of Tron!

It’s a big weekend for movie premieres — if you’re a Twilight fan. Otherwise you’ve got your basic action film, your basic different minorities get married and hilarity ensues film, and your even more basic loser somehow gets the hot girl film. While it’s doubtful any of these weekend flicks will go on to become award winne… Click to read more
