(Slightly Delayed) Weekend Box Office Roundup (April 20-22)
1. Think Like a Man (N)
$33.64 million ($33.64 million)
Wow. I honestly know so little about this movie, I really don't have much to say about it. Kudos for knocking off The Hunger Games. I honestly didn't think that would happen until The Avengers assembled in a few weeks. I do know that Chris Brown is in Think Like a Man, which bothers me. Why are we still giving this guy work?

2. The Lucky One (N)
$22.52 million ($22.52 million)
I did have The Lucky One at No. 2 in my predictions for this weekend. These Nicholas Sparks' movies are romance porn, so of course they're going to make money. If you loved The Notebook and you love Zach Efron, this movie was a no-brainer for you.
3. The Hunger Games (1)
$14.67 million ($357.07 million)
While The Hunger Games slipped to No. 3, the movie was only down a bit more than 30 percent from the previous weekend. Not bad. I think we'll see The Hunger Games stick around in the Top 5 for a few more weeks.
4. Chimpanzee (N)
$10.67 million ($10.67 million)
Totally forgot about Chimpanzee when I was putting together my predictions for this weekend. Disneynature has quickly built a reputation for high-quality documentary type films like this one. Honestly, I'm surprised it only made $10.67 million. Have you seen the trailers for Chimpanzee? The movie looks adorable.
5. The Three Stooges (2)
$9.76 million ($29.92 million)
Something had to come in fifth place, right? With just under $10 million in its second weekend, I can't see The Three Stooges having much steam left. It's going to have The Pirates! Band of Misfits to compete with for the kids audience next weekend (and The Avengers to compete with for the everyone audience in two weekends).
Next week's predictions:
1. Think Like a Man
2. The Pirates! Band of Misfits
3. The Five-Year Engagement
4. The Lucky One
5. The Hunger Games
