Weekend Box Office Results (May 8 – May 10)

Without blinking an eye, Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron stayed in the number 1 position this week, adding another $77.7 million to its domestic total. This gives it $313.4 million for a domestic total and a worldwide total of $875.8 million. Rapidly coming in on the $1 billion mark, but whether it will top Furious 7 for the year is still yet to be determined.

New this week at number 2 is the Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara comedy, Hot Pursuit, bringing in just $13.9 million in its opening weekend.

Holding at number 3 is the Blake Lively and Harrison Ford movie, Age of Adaline with $5.8 million, bringing its domestic total to $31.7 million.

At number 4 is the car action franchise, Furious 7, bringing in an additional $5.4 million. This raises its domestic total to $338.5 million, and its worldwide total to $1.46 billion, making this the number 1 movie for the year so far.

Hanging in there to take the number 5 spot is the Kevin James sequel, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, making $5.3 million with a domestic total of $58.1 million.

Expect to see some movies drop off this week as two big movies are entering the ring. The mad one returns in Mad Max: Fury Road, and the musical comedy sequel, Pitch Perfect 2. Both of these have the possibility of doing some damage to the top 5, but none of them will dethrone the current number 1 this week.

 

 

 

 

 

Weekend Box Office Results (Apr 10 – Apr 12)

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.

Top 5 Predictions

1. Furious 7

2. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2

3. Unfriended

4. Home

5. The Age of Adaline
