“Hop” was on top for a second consecutive tally at the weekend box office.

“Hop” scored $38.1 million at the weekend box office.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules” opened at #1 while Zack Snyder’s “Sucker Punch” was forced to bite the dust in second at the weekend box office.

“Limitless” followed suit while “Paul” and “The Lincoln Lawyer” were cut the shortest at the weekend box office.

“Battle: LA” easily reigned #1 while “Mars Needs Moms” was a bomb at the weekend box office. Also, “Red Riding Hood”, “Jane Eyre”…

“Rango” had an easy victory but the performance of “The Adjustment Bureau” showed audiences were willing to see something they hadn’t a million times already at the weekend box office.

Disney’s “Gnomeo and Juliet” capped off a quiet weekend at the movies with “Hall Pass” closely behind it, while “Drive Angry” bombed at the weekend box office.

“Unknown”, starring Liam Neeson, was the unlikely leader of the pack, leaving “I Am Number Four” at its heels, at the weekend box office.

“Just Go With It” edged out Justin Bieber’s concert movie by nearly enough at the weekend box office.

“The Roommate” slid into an easy first place at the weekend box office.

Anthony Hopkins brought “The Rite” toward a weak #1 debut, while “The Mechanic” also suffered in third place at the weekend box office.

“No Strings Attached” tied up the charts at #1 at the weekend box office.

“The Green Hornet” was all the talk while Ron Howard’s “The Dilemma” started modestly at the weekend box office.

Joel and Ethan Coen’s Western “True Grit” finally hit #1 at the weekend box office. Also: “Season of the Witch”, “Country Strong.”

“Little Fockers” was on top for a second time, but “True Grit” again hosted real festivities at the weekend box office. Also: “Blue Valentine”, “Another Year”.

“Little Fockers” outdid the Coens’ “True Grit”, but the latter had more to celebrate at the weekend box office.

“Tron: Legacy” landed somewhere cold, while “Yogi Bear” and “How Do You Know” also failed to meet expectations at the weekend box office.

The third “Chronicles of Narnia” blends into the holiday movie backdrop, with “The Tourist” somewhere not too far behind it, at the weekend box office.

“Tangled” is finally number one, but Darren Aronofsky’s much buzzed-about thriller “Black Swan” really made an impact in limited release at the weekend box office.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1″ may have won the five-day holiday, but “Tangled” still had a lot to cheer for at the weekend box office.

The latest “Harry Potter” made a huge $125.1 million this weekend; elsewhere, Paul Haggis’s “The Next Three Days” with Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks…

DreamWorks’ “Megamind” made another $30.1 million while “Unstoppable” was a repeat start for director Tony Scott at the box office.

“Megamind” won big with “Due Date” and “For Colored Girls”, respectively, trailing it; elsewhere, Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours” and Doug Liman’s “Fair Game” at the box office.
