Box Office Breakdown! Guardians Of The Galaxy Rockets To #1! Lucy #2! Hercules Crashes! And More!
Hello my box office junkies. Did you miss me last week? After a fairly successful Comic Con, I have returned to bring you the weekend’s box office results. It’s no surprise that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy took the top spot. It’s the stunning $94 million gross that was a pleasant surprise!
Dropping a spot to number two was Lucy, with a firm $18.2 million. Scarlett Johansson kicking ass is a formula for massive ticket sales.
Oscar hopeful Get On Up opened at number three with $14 million. I’m not sure James brown would “feel good” over that number.
Hercules was weak, dropping down to number four with $10.7 million. The $100 million epic has grossed $52 million domestically. Can foreign sales save this stinker?
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes swung into number five with $8.7 million. Its domestic gross of $189 million is impressive, but its worldwide gross of $447 million is just bananas!
Planes: Fire & Rescue got burned at number six with $6.4 million. Its domestic gross of $47.5 million is still under its $50 budget.
The Purge: Anarchy may have fallen to number seven, but with a modest budget of just $9 million and a domestic gross of $63 million, could the Purge 3 be in the works?
Sex Tape was limp at number eight after just three weeks in release. A domestic gross of $34 million and a budget of $40 million equal a colossal flop for Sony.
And So It Goes opened at number nine with $3.34 million. I guess having big name actors couldn’t help save this Indie charmer.
Rounding out the top ten was another Indie hopeful. A Most Wanted Man held at number ten for the second week in a row, taking in $3.32 million.
Check out the full box office chart below:
1 Guardians of the Galaxy $94,000,000 $94,000,000
2 Lucy $18,283,000 $79,571,000
3 Get On Up $14,031,000 $14,031,000
4 Hercules $10,700,000 $52,348,000
5 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes $8,700,000 $189,330,000
6 Planes: Fire & Rescue $6,424,000 $47,596,000
7 The Purge: Anarchy $5,551,000 $62,962,000
8 Sex Tape $3,550,000 $33,908,000
9 And So It Goes $3,344,000 $10,473,000
10 A Most Wanted Man $3,324,000 $7,059,000
Next week the reigning Guardians take on Ninja Turtles, Massive Storms and Helen Mirren. I think it’s a safe bet that we’ll see them take the number one spot again with ease. Just how much of a drop in sales is the question. Tune in next week to see if I’m right.
Until then, happy movie going!

Oh Susan,
Time is short and my lips fail me. Chapped and cracked beyond the recognition of the ages. For who are we, and how are we people.
I heard the quest was well. Rejoice to the heavens. Rejoice to the Gods of yore. Oh Susan, the rustle and bustle of a midnight flock stirs me in my sleep and I say, “Toshasha toeram.” I know… I know…
I feel like you all didn’t make it back from the quest unscathed. Fear not, there will be many more to be had. The blood of the eagle rests on your shoulders, like a warrior you go into a deep deep battle with the burgeoning love only a piece of fly paper can catch. You are Suddenly Susan the victor, Suddenly Susan the brave and Suddenly Susan the shiny heart of a lion. Suddenly Susan who sparkles with joy, positivity, happy thoughts, milking farm animals and solitude. Oh to be near your breath.
I can practically feel it cascade down my back and into the crevice of my soul. I burn Susan, I burn.
Things are not well here. I had a fight with the seer and I fear I have a curse on my head for now, I have two left feet and the ability to dance eludes me. It might be why your quest was not as smooth as you would have liked. I know all about it Susan, I read your brain waves, they are linked into mine and I feel your feelings that you feel when you feel everything. Oh the danger.
It’s either the seer or the sweaty sweater. I feel both have enacted a potion on my behalf to damage my revery.
I met a young lad named Henry. He is wooing me and brought me a pie of creme. Friend Siebert is not happy about it and now hides in my bushes and spies on me and Henry in the love of the ages. I think friend Siebert has issues. He looks like a duck. But quacks like a lion. Don’t trust him Susan. Don’t speak his name.
Henry is a fine fellow who works in the yard near Farmer Joe’s cottage. He has a hat and overalls and is new to the village. He is quite a fine gentleman when he is pleasured, but one of few words. More like, do this and do that. but when it’s done, he’s happy. and that makes Wanda a happy lass.
He also doesn’t like it when I dance, but now that I have been cursed with two left feet… It works out. Oh the world does makes us scratch our heads. I do tend to talk in circles a lot more now and traveling a straight line makes life difficult.
The barn is much nicer now and since Henry fixed the roof I no longer have rain that pours in on me. Yippee!
Oh Susan, Henry is waking from his slumber. He is jealous of our sisterly bond! But you must say hi, you must. I can convince him that you are a good egg and not a moody boot.
Toddles and toshes.
Hi Wanda!
Hi Henry!!
All you need to do is create the left foot shuffle and you’ll be fine.
I will write up my adventures from Comic Con soon.
