Although Kick-Ass will win the top spot for movies this weekend it will still come in under expectations. Lionsgate was hoping for upwards of a $30 million opening weekend. With the good reviews it has been getting, for the most part, it should have legs to last until Iron Man 2 opens in a couple weeks.

The top 5 movies for friday:
1. Kick-Ass
2. Death at a Funeral
3. Date Night
4. Clash of the Titans
5. How to Train Your Dragon

HammerGod: I have seen 2 of the top 5 and plan on adding Kick-Ass to that list sometime this week.
