Come back tomorrow for Weekend Predictions for Hop (Universal), Source Code (Summit) and Insidious (FilmDistrict), as well as the holdovers.  As we said a few days ago, this weekend will face some tough comparisons versus the last two years.  This weekend last year was dominated by Clash of the Titans and its $61 million opening and two $29 million performances: the opening of Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too and weekend two of How to Train Your Dragon.  Similarly, 2009 boasted a $71 million opening by Fast & Furious and a strong $32 million second weekend from Monsters vs Aliens.
