"Knowing" came out on top at the box office this weekend, beating out several other heavy contenders including "I Love You Man," and "Duplicity."

Summit Entertainment's supernatural thriller "Knowing," which stars Cage as an astrophysics professor who figures out how to predict monumental catastrophes, debuted as the No. 1 movie at the weekend box office with $24.8 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. "Knowing" easily foiled "I Love You, Man" and "Duplicity," the other films opening in wide release. "I Love You, Man" was second with $18 million and "Duplicity" was third at $14.4 million.

"Knowing" is no "Con Air," but I guess it can hold it's own. Summit Entertainment is the company behind the insanely profitable Twilight frenzy that is sweeping the country. That DVD actually sold 3 million copies on the opening day - which is like Michael Jackson-style!
