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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 89 barely edged out the animated Rapunzel flick Tangled by a less than $350k. Burlesque took the fourth spot with $11 mil while boner rom com Love and Other Drugs was stronger than Faster. This week’s entries feature the best ballerina on ballerina kiss in the history of lesbianism, ninjas battling cowboys, a gay conman, Black Panthers, the afterlife, psycho yuppies, and Santy Claus. Anyone else watching the Scrooged marathon on AMC? Awesome, right? Read this first, though.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 murdered the competition last weekend, summoning more than $125 million from the depths of America’s bank accounts with an average of $30k per screen. It was the all-time sixth biggest-grossing opening weekend and a new franchise high. The Next Three Days might not see another three days after opening in the 5th position with only $6.5 million.

Megamind was mega moneymaker again at the box office, pulling in $29 mil to put a stop to Unstoppable, which ran away with $22 mil. Skyline made back its budget in its debut weekend while Morning Glory has a ways to go to clear that $40 mil budget. This week’s entries are few and far between due to Harry Potter. However, if you prefer fiery redheads and homicidal blondes over magical kids molesting their wands, you’re in luck.
