It was a photo finish at the box office this weekend between Just Go With It and Justin Bieber's Never Say Never. As of Sunday, the teen idol's documentary had raked in an estimated $30.2 million, and was nipping at the heels of Just Go With It, which took in a reported $31 million. Even though Sandler and Aniston are at No. 1 for the time being, the films could swap first and second place once final numbers are announced. Are you surprised to see Bieber's doc perform so well?

Gnomeo and Juliet also received its own sizable piece of the pie; the kiddie flick took in $25.5 million for third place, making it the biggest February opening ever for an animated film. Lagging behind in fourth, Channing Tatum's The Eagle had a dismal opening of only $8.6 million. Last week's champ, The Roommate rounded out the top five with $8.4 million.

January may be a tough month at the box office, but Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly's thriller The Roommate managed to make its mark. It earned $15.6 million, which landed it in first place in the least-attended Super Bowl weekend in 15 years.

In second place was Sanctum, the James Cameron-produced cave thriller and fellow new release, which made $9.2 million. Following it in third was Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher's romantic comedy No Strings Attached with $8.4 million, and Oscar hopeful The King's Speech was right on its heels with $8.3 million. Rounding out the top five was The Green Hornet, which came in with $6.1 million.

It's pretty much a rite of passage for stars of soapy series to take on horror movie roles. With that in mind, it's no surprise that upcoming thriller The Roommate has assembled a cast that includes Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly, Hellcats' Aly Michalka, and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester. (Cam Gigandet, who starred on The O.C., is here, too). It's a predictable, Single White Female for college students kind of movie, with Meester playing Kelly's new college roommie, Rebecca. They hit it off right away, but it's not long before Sara (Kelly) realizes that Rebecca's got a couple of screws loose.

The typical stalker behavior follows: Sara realizes that Rebecca has no friends and is on "medication," while Rebecca is quietly plotting to take down Sara's other friends and boyfriends. The trailer is worth a look just to get a chuckle at seeing Meester out of her prim and proper Blair Waldorf attire and into psycho mode. Check it when you read more
