HOLLYWOOD—™m still speechless to discover just the power of the Marvel flick “Guardians of the Galaxy†which has literally destroyed the box-office in the past two months. The comic book movie has already reigned supreme as the top grossing movie of 2014 so far with a gross just mere millions shy of the $300 million mark.
In one of the slowest weekends at the box-office, “Galaxy†maintained its dominance with a little over $10 million. The “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles†proved to be another surprise hit in theaters this summer. The reboot added another $6.5 million to its tally. By the end of the week the movie will have surpassed the $175 million mark.
Landing in the #3 spot is the teenage drama “If I Stay†with about $5.75 million. After about a month in theaters, the film is just a million shy of hitting $40 million.
Rounding out the top five is the comedy “Let’s Be Cops†with $5.4 million and the action-thriller “The November Man†$4.2 million. Next weekend gets back into the swing of things as “Dolphin Tale 2†hits theaters and the thriller “No Good Deed†starring Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson arrives in theaters.
