Last weekend’s box office winner The Green Hornet will find itself sliding to the number two spot because Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman’s No Strings Attached should have enough steam to plow the competition.

Also new this weekend was the Vince Vaughn and Kevin James comedy The Dilemma (review) which came in second under The Green Hornet. It’s 2011, and it’s in with the new and out with the old… movies.

Seth Rogen‘s long awaited Green Hornet should open to number one this weekend after months of buzz, exciting trailers, and a starved audience of movie goers who are ready to catch a glimpse at the first big budget action blockbuster of the year.
