Movies Released February 4, 2011

This Year in Movies - Sanctum, and The Roommate open in wide release this weekend. It looks like a repeat of last weekend's box office. The college suspense thriller centered around roommates played by Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly looks to gross in the $14 to $16 million range. With the depressed winter box office levels, that amount would win first place. The James Cameron produced 3D underwater adventure Sanctum will attempt to break double digits with a mix of 3D and 2D screens. Although Cameron seems to gets all the attention, the film is directed by Alister Grierson.

The Mechanic came in third with $11.4 million. Not bad given the expectations, but box office overall is down considerably from 2010 when Avatar was still selling tickets at a record pace and it is highly unlikely Cameron's 2011 effort will recover the pace....
