UNDATED (CNN) -- Lindsay Lohan is gearing up for a new gig. Plus, it was a battle for the top spot at the weekend box office.

Lindsay Lohan's career seems to be looking up. The 25-year-old is set to host an episode of "Saturday Night Live" slated for March 3.

Lohan's career was overshadowed by legal woes in 2007 followed by arrests, stints in rehab and frequent court appearances for probation violation. But her probation restrictions are set to end next month giving her a chance to get her life back on the right track.

It was a close weekend at the box office. In its second weekend on the big screen, "Safe House" slid into the number one spot. The action flick, starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds grossed $24 million this weekend.

"The Vow" was a close second with $23.6 million in ticket sales. The romantic-drama broke mid-week records raking in $11.6 million on Valentine's Day alone.

And Nicholas Cage's latest movie "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" rounded out the top three. The action-thriller grossed $22 million in its weekend debut.
