There is nothing more to say today than there was yesterday as the box office actuals for this past weekend aren’t too far off estimates. No Good Deed is still the #1 movie at the box office with $24.25 million while Dolphin Tale 2 remains in second at $15.8 million, $700,000 below estimates, which should cause for an interesting shift in the box office reader predictions.
Also opening this weekend, though on a limited basis was The Drop, which finished with $4.1 million from 809 theaters for a $5,074 per theater average. It will be interesting to see how that one does from one week to the next. It received a “B+” CinemaScore and I quite liked it so it has my full support.
Finally, yes, Guardians of the Galaxy is now the only 2014 release to cross the $300 million mark domestically. I expect The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies to do the same, but for now it’s just one.
