Justin Bieber has one floppy hair behind Adam Sandler: box office report from February 11-13

This is a good weekend in box office, if the movie title begins with the letters J-U-S-t. Press time, Adam Sandler "just go with it" and "Justin Bieber concert doc: never say never" were neck and neck with early estimates give a slight edge over frame Sandler of Friday to Sunday, although Thursday previews are only higher total gross Biebs date.

When the final numbers were released on Monday, their positions are likely to switch, but now it seems Sandler "just go with it ' is greater than the weekend, with the estimated $ 31.0 million. This is pretty typical opening for Sandler, although it mark the best debut for co-star Jennifer Aniston, since 36.4 million dollars in Premiere "Marley & Me" in 2008. Romantic may make even better Valentin does not fall on Monday this year.

Bieber is one floppy lock of hair behind Sandler for the weekend, as well as for one aspect of hair next to total gross after opening. From Friday to Sunday Studio estimates place the small pop heartthrob movie 30.3 million dollars. But add in his decision-making from early screenings on Thursday, and "never say never" calculated everything is $ 3000 in front of "just go with it". Whether the film will have legs is uncertain-movies like this one tend to get most of their audience during the first weekend-but for now, Bieber gives Sandler run for the money.

"Gnomeo & Juliet" enjoyed a strong third place debut with $ 25.5 million. This is much better than the movie is expected to do, with estimates, work around 15 million dollars. Cartoon is the production of a long and troubled history and only average, marketing push by Disney, but she was helped by strong reviews, 3-d surcharge familiar Elton John soundtrack to appeal to adults and the relative lack of another family tariff of a multiplexing connection phase.

"Eagle," weekend fourth new wide release, not flying nearly as high. Sword and sandals adventure earned only $ 8.6 million, perhaps because it is after a young male audience, "just go with," there are still two or three other strong action films still of multiplexes or because they simply do not Channing Tatum is a leading man who can open the movie yet, unlike Sandler, Bieber and animated lawn gnome.

Last week's Champ, "roommate" belongs to the fifth place with $ 8.4 million. This is a drop of 44% from its opening weekend, typical for the main thriller like this. Its total two weekend stays in 26.1 million dollars.
