Well, well, well – looks like lightning struck twice for Liam Neeson, as February’s most successful action star has done it again by opening number one at the box office. Seems that movie had us all fooled, because not only did I pick I Am Number Four to win it, but you folks did too – both in Friday’s poll, and you picked it as your most anticipated February movie at the beginning of the month. What happened Alex Pettyfer fans?!
Needless to say, Unknown took the weekend with a somewhat relaxed $25 million, while I Am Number Four finished in third place with $22 million with Gnomeo & Juliet between them at $24 million. Just Go With It ($21 million) and Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son ($19 million) rounded out the top five.
