This week was almost a complete bust this week, so lets just jump in to the top 5 this weekend.
In an absolute shocker (to absolutely no one), Furious 7 reigns as king of the hill again this week, making $29 million, bringing its domestic total to $294.4 million and making it the first movie this year to break the $1 billion barrier worldwide with $1.15 BILLION worldwide, and surpassing the number 1 movie for all of 2014, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction.
And this is just the START of the Summer Movie Season. We still have Avengers: Age of Ultron, Jurassic World, Hunger Games, and a little movie called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to name just a few.
Jumping in at number 2 this week is the Kevin James comedy, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 with $24 million, proving once again that inept, fat guys, falling down and hurting themselves make for good comedy.
We get surprised at number 3 as the horror flick, Unfriended, jumped on the charts with its opening week with $16 million. I’m sure that Universal are excited for this number as it was a very low-budget film to make by the looks of it. Can you say sequel?
At number 4, falling from number 2, is the animated flick Home, with $10.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $142.6 million. Admit it, that damn alien was too cute. I’ve heard some complaints from people that they didn’t see any advertisements for it. I think those people don’t have kids, or the kids aren’t watching any broadcast television, because I saw advertisements all the time for it. Or maybe I just watch too much television.
And at number 5, screw you to everybody that saw it and everybody that took their significant other to see it, is The Longest Ride, making $6.8 million on its domestic total of $23.5 million. Please, let this be the end, if I have to type The Longest Ride one more time, it will be too much. If I ever see another Nicholas Sparks movie on the movie list, it will be too soon.
And now that I look at last weeks predictions, it doesn’t look like it was THAT bad. I got the number 1 and number 5 dead on the nose, while I got Home and Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 on the list. I missed with putting Monkey Kingdom on the list instead of Unfriended.
Only two wide release movies this week, that being The Age Of Adaline, and Little Boy, neither of which is going to make dent into what is your number 1 movie next week.

1. Furious 7
