Last week the Adam Sandler comedy Just Go with It debuted at number one with $31 million. The movie managed to knock the college based thriller The Roommate out of the top spot after only one week on the charts. But with three new films premiering at the box office this weekend including the teen sci-fi film I Am Number Four, the Liam Neeson thriller Unknown, and Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son starring Martin Lawrence, its likely that we will be crowning a new box office king before the weekend is over.

Predicted to debut at number one this week is the new film from Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso, I Am Number Four. The movie stars an excellent cast of young actors including Alex Pettyfer (Beastly), Dianna Agron (Glee), Teresa Palmer (The Sorcerer's Apprentice), Callan McAuliffe (Flipped) and Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies). Currently the movie has an average rating of a 3.6 on our site. Out of the twelve people who have rated the film, six of them have given it five stars and the trailer has had over 9,000 views. The movie is predicted to earn about $32.5 million in its opening weekend.

Predicted to debut at number two is the new action thriller Unknown. The film stars Liam Neeson (The A-Team), as well as January Jones (Mad Men), Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), Aidan Quinn (Jonah Hex), and Frank Langella (Superman Returns). Currently the movie has an average rating of a 4.5 on our site. Out of the six people who have rated the film, five of them have given it five stars and the trailer has had over 9,000 views. The movie is predicted to earn about $23.3 million in its opening weekend.

Predicted to debut at number three this week is the new comedy Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, the third chapter in the Big Momma's House series. The movie features returning star Martin Lawrence (Death at a Funeral), as well as Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder), Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield), Portia Doubleday (Youth in Revolt), and Faizon Love (The Replacements). Currently the movie has an average rating of a 3.6 on our site. Out of the twelve people who have rated the film, six of them have given it five stars and the trailer has had over 11,000 views. Here is what our official reviewer had to say about the movie, "While the movie's tone is mostly filled with good hearted fun, the cross-dressing gag begins to wear thin by the film's end. Fans of the franchise's past installments will most likely enjoy this one, but those who are new to it may not like it as much." The movie is predicted to earn about $19.9 million in its opening weekend.

Predicted to drop three places from its debut last week is the new Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore) comedy Just Go with It, co-starring Jennifer Aniston (Love Happens). The incredible cast also includes Brooklyn Decker (Battleship), Minka Kelly (The Roommate), Dave Matthews (You Don't Mess with the Zohan), Nick Swardson (Bedtime Stories), Rachel Dratch (Spring Breakdown), Kevin Nealon (Get Smart), and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (The Hours). Last week the film made $8,737 on each of its 3,548 screens for an opening weekend total of $31 million. But the film will have to continue to do well in the next few weeks if it hopes to earn back its entire $80 million production budget. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $18.8 million this weekend.

Predicted to round off the top five and fall two places from its debut last week is the new CGI animated film Gnomeo and Juliet. The film is based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and features the music of Grammy Award winner Elton John. The film also features the voice talents of James McAvoy (Wanted), Emily Blunt (Charlie Wilson's War), Jason Statham ((The Expendables), and two-time Academy Award winners Michael Caine (The Dark Knight), and Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). Last week the film made $8,517 on each of its 2,994 screens for an opening weekend total of $25.5 million. The movie is predicted to earn an additional $17.7 million this weekend.

The rest of the top ten films at the box office this weekend are predicted to look like this:

The film stars an excellent cast of young actors and seasoned veterans including, Leighton Meester (Country Strong), Minka Kelly ((500) Days of Summer), Cam Gigandet (Burlesque), and Alyson Michalka (Easy A), with Billy Zane (The Phantom), and Frances Fisher (Titanic).
