Weekend at the Box Office Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles retained its box office reign with $28.4 million bringing its domestic total to $117.6 million, which is not bad for a Megan Fox vehicle that’s 6 years past her prime and a bunch of CGI meathead turtles (just kidding, that was snarky of me)! Guardians of the Galaxy is continuing its dominance by coming in at a very respectable 2nd place with $24.7 million over the weekend- most likely making it the highest grossing domestic film of the summer. Let’s Be Cops opened up solid since its Tuesday debut with $26.1...

Last week, Teaira mentioned she was looking forward to The Hundred-Foot Journey. Well, I saw it last night and loved it! It’s one of those simple, yet exciting movies that comes around every once in awhile that doesn’t rely on heavy special effects and gimmicks – just a pure storyline.

Its debut marked the second highest opening this year, just shy of beating Captain America: The Winter Soldier at $95 million. The Scarlett Johansson thriller, Lucy, came in at a distant 2nd place at the box office taking in $18.3 million.

Hello! This is my first post for the “What We’re Watching” section. You can usually find me writing the Weekly Round-up, but Teaira and I are going to be tag teaming these two sections together now. Movies I’m looking forward to: Guardians of the Galaxy I’m not a big Sci-Fy person (is that even how you spell it? Sci-Fi? Science Fiction?) but let me tell you: this star-studded flick sure has my attention. This summer’s box office has been somewhat lackluster aside from the occasional blockbuster such as Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Anything Chris Pratt does...

Box Office Results Dawn of the Planet of the Apes once again controlled the box office for the second week in a row and raked in $36 million to add to its box office total of $139 million. Apes threw a one-two punch over a trio of new releases including The Purge: Anarchy starring Friday Night Lights’ favorite Panther, Zach Guilford (Sorry Tim Riggins) coming in at $28.3 million and fellow sequel Planes: Fire & Rescue at $18 million. The star-studded Jason Segal, Cameron Diaz R-rated comedy Sex Tape failed to turn on moviegoers earning just $15 million its opening weekend....
