| Title | Weekend | Total | Analysis |
| Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps | $19.0M | $19.0M | The original, now an iconic flick, earned just $44M at the box office. |
| Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole | $16.3M | $16.3M | Given the unwieldy title and unusual premise (Zach Snyder and fighting owls), this opening has to be seen as a success. |
| The Town | $49.1M | $16.0M | Very modest Week 2 drop-off (33%) as this flick is getting a little Best Picture buzz. |
| Easy A | $10.7M | $32.8M | On a mere $8M budget, Easy A is one of the more profitable movies of the year. |
| You Again | $8.3M | $8.3M | Bad reviews/word of mouth killed this Kristen Bell comedy. |
