knowing1 Science Fiction Conquers The Box OfficeIt's been savaged by critics and attacked from all sides, but Knowing, the new sci-fi film from genre master Alex Proyas is the number one movie in America. We nerds still have a little mojo.

The movie earned nearly $25 million to capture the number one slot ahead of the hilarious new comedy I Love You, Man and even further ahead of the new Julia Roberts/Clive Owen spy flick Duplicity. Granted $25 million isn't exactly a world beating box office number, but it's respectable, in March, for a movie that hasn't exactly received Watchmen level advertising.

Here's the full weekend box office breakdown. For more details check out the chart on our sister site Cinema Blend.


1. Knowing - $24,814,000
2. I Love You, Man - $18,005,000
3. Duplicity - $14,402,000
4. Race to Witch Mountain - $13,004,000
5. Watchmen - $6,725,000
6. The Last House on the Left - $5,921,000
7. Taken - $4,100,000
8. Slumdog Millionaire - $2,700,000
9. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail - $2,510,000
10. Coraline - $2,143,000
