The only big movie to hit the box office this weekend is X-Men: First Class. That means there is no direct competition from another opening film, which should help lift it's box office numbers.
The Hangover Part 2 will be the one to give it a run for its money in it's second weekend at the box office. The film broke records when it opened Memorial Day weekend and fans were impressed by the very similar sequel, so it will probably continue to do well this weekend, bringing in another $35 million.
One of the most anticipated films of the summer is opening this weekend though and should draw a lot of the Hangover crowd. Box office indicators are looking at an estimated $65 million opening weekend for X-Men: First Class.
Kung Fu Panda 2 should also do considerable well in its second weekend as it is the only kid friendly film at the box office right now and will probably continue to draw families who didn't see it last week. It should bring in another $25 million on its second weekend.

Four more films open in NY and LA with the potential to open in more cities, but some of them are already getting great buzz and should add more theaters in the coming weeks.
