Those of you who like a side of certainty with your box office entrée may want to dine elsewhere this morning. That’s because we’re witnessing an extremely close race between Safe House and The Vow for number one. As estimates currently stand, Safe House seems to have the edge – $23.9 million to The Vow’s $23.6 million. But the real news is how none of the new President’s Day releases – including the 3D sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance – could threaten the holdovers in their fight for first.

	Title	Weekend	Total
1	Safe House	$23,900,000	$78.2
2	The Vow	$23,600,000	$85.5
3	Ghost Rider 2	$22,000,000	$22
4	Journey 2	$20,085,000	$53.2
5	This Means War	$17,550,000	$19.1
6	Phantom Menace	$7,865,000	$33.7
7	Chronicle	$7,500,000	$50.9
8	Woman in Black	$6,645,000	$45.2
9	Secret World Arrietty	$6,375,000	$6.3
10	The Grey	$3,000,000	$47.9

Weekend Box Office – Big Debuts for THE VOW and SAFE HOUSE Continue 2012′s Box Office Bonanza

There was good news to go around this weekend as each of the four major studio releases opened to over $20 million.  That is an almost unheard of feat on any weekend, let alone a non-holiday-enhanced weekend in February. Overall, the box office looks to finish up 25% from last year’s post-Super Bowl frame to provide 2012 its sixth win in a row.

	Title	Weekend	Total
1	The Vow	$41,700,000	$41.7
2	Safe House	$39,330,000	$39.3
3	Journey 2	$27,550,000	$27.5
4	Phantom Menace 3D	$23,000,000	$23
5	Chronicle	$12,300,000	$40.1
6	The Woman in Black	$10,300,000	$35.4
7	The Grey	$5,080,000	$42.8
8	Big Miracle	$3,860,000	$13.1
9	The Descendants	$3,500,000	$70.7
10	Underworld Awakening	$2,500,000	$58.9

John Hawkes Will Be One of the Last Regular-Season Actors to Get LOST

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 20th, 2009 at 12:36 am

Want to feel wistful and a little sad?  Remember that there’s only one season left of “Lost”.  That should do the trick.  But there’s no time for sadness when we’re busy compiling our final theories on the show’s conclusion while others wonder how disappointed they’ll be by the finale*.  But as we race to the show’s end, pieces are still falling into place.  The latest piece of the puzzle is a new regular character played by the talented Mr. John Hawkes.

Hit the jump to learn a little about his character (you really thought you’d get a full run-down on him?  Have you never read a news item about “Lost”?).
