The numbers are in, and no one’s terribly surprised to learn that “Unknown” topped the weekend box-office to the tune of $21.8 million, echoing the strong business “Taken” did two winters ago. Coming in second was “I am Number Four” with $19.5 million; “Gnomeo & Juliet” was close behind with $19.4 million. (Their positions may shift tomorrow, when final returns for the holiday weekend are tallied up.)

Fun fact: “Taken” and “Unknown” were produced entirely independently of one another — made by different people, distributed by different studios. But they both let Neeson play Godzilla, letting him lay waste to foreign cities with righteous fury; maybe for the third one, they’ll unleash him on Tokyo. I mean, it’s only fair.

Oh, and happy Family Day, everybody! If you’re in downtown Toronto and you feel like doing something cinematic today, I humbly suggest the free Lightbox screenings of “James and the Giant Peach“, “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Sherlock Jr.” — the latter with live musical accompaniment (sort of). How often do you get the chance to see any of those on a big screen?
