1. Rango
Animated features minus 3D have become a rarity, so it's good to see one that succeeds. The Johnny Depp led Rango kicked off to a hefty opening weekend nearly doubling it's nearest competitor. Still, I think the film has a pretty long way to go to earn back it's $130M budget, especially since the film isn't geared towards kids and families.
2. The Adjustment Bureau
After flops like Green Zone
3. Beastly
Can we finally say a fond farewell to Alex Pettyfer? The hunky model/actor has failed miserably leading three movies so far(the others are Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker
4. Hall Pass
The Farrelly Brothers comedy dipped a meager 33% from last week, and has nearly recouped the modest $36M estimated budget. By Farrelly standards this doesn't come close to ranking, but it's on track to do better than The Heartbreak Kid
5. Gnomeo & Juliet
6. Unknown
7. The King's Speech
8. Just Go With It
On the way to becoming Adam Sandler's 12th $100M hit.
9. I Am Number Four
10. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
The other nationwide release this week was the long gestating 80s retro comedy, Take Me Home Tonight. Apparently nobody felt like revisiting the time of New Coke and big hair, because the film got off to a dismal start with only $3.5M. Makes me wonder how it would've fared if released on the original date a couple of years ago when movies like this were more successful.
