(Fox)

BOX OFFICE

‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules’ is on pace to edge sci-fi/fantasy action release ‘Sucker Punch’ for the weekend box office crown, according to early estimates.

The sequel to last year’s hit book adaptation, ‘Wimpy Kid 2′ trailed on Friday, but the family-friendly movie stands to rise to the top of the heap with approximately $24 million after Saturday and Sunday matinees, compared with $22 million for ‘Sucker Punch.’

Last week’s champ, Bradley Cooper’s ‘Limitless,’ is tracking for a third-place finish with roughly $14 million, while ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ ($10 million) and ‘Rango’ ($8 million) stand to round out the top 5.
