The King’s Speech had an impressive weekend. The highly praised film earned 41% more this weekend at the box office, likely due to the twelve Academy Award nominations that it received this past Tuesday. True Grit also managed to make 4% more over the weekend, which is especially impressive as it dropped out of 350 theatres since last week.

We recently brought you a look at Anthony Hopkins in the upcoming tale of a skeptical priest thrust into the world of exorcisms in Mikael Hafstroem’s The Rite trailer. Now, courtesy of Bloody-disgusting.com, we’ve got a look at the first hi-res image of Hopkins as Father Lucas, while Colin O’Donoghue (as Michael Kovak) stands observing in the background.

Mikael Hafstroem’s forthcoming exorcism pic, The Rite, is finally on it’s way to theaters. The film, which is based upon the book The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio, and stars Anthony Hopkins, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds and Rutger Hauer will help usher in 2011 when it opens on January 28th.
