FWIW, if the estimates hold, then Black Swan has just passed Cold Mountain
to become Natalie Portman's biggest non-Star Wars film -- and No Strings
Attached is already one of her biggest films ever, too:
1999 Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace $431.1 million
2005 Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith $380.3 million
2002 Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones $310.7 million

Meanwhile, The King's Speech is shaping up to be one of the biggest films
that its three lead actors have been in (once you bracket off the Harry
Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises, plus anything that Helena

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Roommate," a low-budget thriller that
received a unanimous thumbs-down from top critics, opened in the top spot
at the weekend box office in North America, as the studios braced for the
annual sales hit from Sunday's Super Bowl.
According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, "The Roommate" earned
about $15.6 million in its first three days, equivalent to its production
budget and in line with expectations.
"Sanctum," a 3-D underwater adventure produced by James Cameron, followed
at a distant No. 2 with $9.2 million.
Last weekend's champion, the Anthony Hopkins thriller "The Rite," tumbled
to No. 6 with $5.6 million.
The top five was rounded out by the Natalie Portman romantic comedy "No
Strings Attached," down one at No. 3 with $8.4 million; Oscars
front-runner "The King's Speech," up one to No. 4 with $8.3 million; and
the superhero adaptation "The Green Hornet," down one at No. 5 with $6.1
million.
"The Roommate" stars "Gossip Girl" actress Leighton Meester as an unhinged
college student in a story reminiscent of the 1992 thriller "Single White
Female." Released by Sony Corp's genre arm Screen Gems, "Roommate" was
panned by all the top critics surveyed on Rotten Tomatoes, a website that
aggregates reviews.
Women under the age of 21 accounted for about two-thirds of the audience,
the studio said. This demographic is the least likely to be watching the
Super Bowl, the year's biggest television event in the United States.
Overall sales tumbled, reflecting both the studios' annual capitulation to
the Super Bowl and a recent paucity of hits. The top 12 films grossed $75
million, down 18 percent from last weekend, and down 24 percent from the
year-ago period, according to box office analysts at Hollywood.com.
"Sanctum" was released by Universal Pictures, which is 51 percent-owned by
Comcast Corp. "No Strings Attached" was released by Paramount Pictures, a
unit of Viacom Inc. "The King's Speech" was released by the Weinstein Co,
which is privately held. "The Rite" was released by Warner Bros Pictures,
a unit of Time Warner Inc.
