Movie Reviews

“The Five-Year Engagement” had a surprisingly poor opening over the weekend, grossing only $11.1 million and placing fourth at the box office. “Think Like a Man” maintained first place for the second week in a row, grossing $18 million, and somehow, someway, maybe by some misalignment of Jupiter’s moons with Venus, even “The Lucky One” (those who read my review last week know how I feel about this movie) managed to top “The Five-Year Engagement” over the weekend.

“American Reunion” opened second at the box office over the weekend, raking in a mediocre $21.5 million. For the fourth weekend in a row, “Hunger Games” continued to dominate the competition, grossing $33.5 million, and bringing the film’s worldwide gross to $460 million.

“The Hunger Games” grossed a whopping $155 million domestically over the weekend, making it the third highest opening film of all time behind “Harry Potter and the “Deathly Hallows Part 2” and “The Dark Knight.”

“Silent House” didn’t make much noise at the box office over the weekend, grossing only $7 million and rightfully receiving an “F” grade from CinemaScore surveys, becoming only the second movie of the year to receive a failing grade.
