In a weekend where not even a new release can break into the top ten at the box office (to be fair, The Identical remains universally reviled for all but the most diehard bad movie buffs), Guardians of the Galaxy took the top spot yet again with a mere estimated $10.2 million. With nothing else making over $10 million (even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made only an estimated $6.5 million), this we...[Read More]

With a four-day weekend afoot, things might have seemed a boon at the box office; however, besides low returns, it was a weak time for newcomers. Guardians of the Galaxy led easily with an estimated $22.2 million, remaining king of the summer (and of 2014 in domestic earnings), while Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remains thoroughly critic-proof with an estimated $15.7 million adding to a strong $16...[Read More]
