Rodrick ruled the box office after sucker punching Zack Snyder's fantasy action film during the box office weekend of March 25, 2011.

Aliens won the war in the battle over the box office last weekend with Battle: Los Angeles taking the number one spot. New this week, another alien invades movie theaters but for laughs in the comedy PAUL, from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Is there room for two alien films at the top of the box office?
Two dramas join the weekend slate of movies with Limitless starring Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro and Matthew McConaughey's The Lincoln Lawyer.

Aliens take over movie theaters this weekend with the sci-fi action film Battle: Los Angeles and the family-friendly Mars Needs Moms while two 19th Century literary characters are modernized for the big screen.
Sophisticated audiences will most likely take in Jane Eyre, a retelling of Charlotte Brontë's classic novel starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are Alright) and Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds). Little Red Riding Hood also gets the big screen treatment by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke with sexier characters and monsters in Red Riding Hood with Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman

The Eagle | Gnomeo & Juliet | Just Go With It | Justin Bieber: Never Say Never |
Will teen pop sensation,Justin Bieber's new 3D film, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, take the number one spot over films starring Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Channing Tatum, Emily Blunt and James McAvoy for the weekend of February 11th?
If tons of screaming teenagers have their say -- yes. Just Go For It (Sandler, Aniston), The Eagle (Channing Tatum), and the 3D animated gnomes in Gnomeo and Juliet (James McAvoy, Emily Blunt) will compete in this weekend's race to top the box office. Previous teen idols Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers' trek into 3D movies opened to the number one spots both times so given Bieber Fever taking over the world, this might be the case.
