Box Office Hell — February 10

This pre-Valentine’s Day weekend, our box office pundits predict box office gold — or at least a box of chocolates — for the Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston rom-com Just Go With It.

Gnomeo and Juliet plays for the younger set, but may have a hard time challenging the power of The Bieber.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader looks to win the weekend while Tangled, Harry Potter and the tenacious Unstoppable should round out the top five.
