Traditionally, movie studios release films that appeal to women over Super Bowl weekend, probably figuring some of them are dying to get out of the house. This year was no exception, with “The Roommate” taking the number one spot. Despite the familiarity of the plot, ripped off from “Single White Female” and a bunch of TV movies, the combination of “Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly of “Friday Night Lights” scored $15.6M for the weekend.

Killer special effects and a James Cameron connection couldn’t save “Sanctum 3D,” which came in second with $9.2M. The rest of the top ten is made up of holdovers that are still hanging in, some for several weeks. Proving the romcom isn’t dead after all, the Natalie Portman/Ashton Kutcher starrer “No Strings Attached” came in third in week three with a take of $8.4M. Oscar favorite “The King’s Speech” took fourth place with $8.3M, followed by “Green Hornet” with $6.1M.

Two films in their second week of release took big drops, as “The Rite” brought in $5.5M and “The Mechanic” $5.3M. “True Grit” showed it still has legs by bringing in $4.7M in week seven. Winding up the top ten were “The Dilemma” ($3.4M) and “Black Swan” ($3.4M) The box office should perk up next week with the opening of the Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston/Brooklyn Decker comedy “Just Go With It,” along with Disney’s “Gnomeo and Juliet” and “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.”
