“No Strings Attached,” as expected, parlayed its solid Friday performance into a weekend box office victory, but “The Green Hornet” managed to impress Saturday en route to a decent second place finish.<\/p>\n
After getting off to a slow start on Friday, “Hornet” won the Saturday race and earned an estimated weekend total of $18.1 million. That put the 3D flick close behind winner “Strings,” which garnered $20.3 million in its first outing.<\/p>\n
“No Strings Attached” outperformed many recent “chick flicks,” but its total remained below many of the optimistic estimates from earlier this week.<\/p>\n
“The Dilemma” finished in third with $9.7 million, showing acceptable retention from its disappointing first weekend. Thanks to awards buzz and an expanded screen total, “The King’s Speech” basically matched last week’s gross with $9.2 million for fourth.<\/p>\n
“True Grit” completed the top five with $8 million.<\/p>\n
