Tom Cruise's futuristic new release, Oblivion, won this weekend's box office, beating expectations and earning $38.2 million. Bumped to second place was 42 with $18 million, while The Croods stayed steady in third place, adding $9.5 million to its total. Scary Movie 5 made $6.3 million, and G.I. Joe: Retaliation rounded out the top five with a $5.8 million haul.
Home run! Pardon the baseball puns, but Jackie Robinson biopic 42 was No. 1 at the box office this weekend with $27.3 million. Fellow new release Scary Movie 5 came in second with $15.2 million, followed by animated family film The Croods with $13.2 million. In fourth place came action sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation with $10.8 million, and last week's No. 1, horror remake Evil Dead, rounded out the top five with $9.5 million. Disconnect also came out this weekend in a handful of theaters, earning $124,000.
Whether you're a sports fanatic or an indie movie lover or you just want to see True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard shirtless on the big screen, there's a movie for you hitting theaters this weekend. Check out pictures of the Jackie Robinson story, 42; Terrence Malick's latest, To the Wonder; tech thriller Disconnect; and last, but (maybe) not least, Scary Movie 5. Which will you be seeing?
Like with many horror franchises, it seems as if Scary Movie films keep getting made no matter how bad they get. The latest installment, which is the fifth in the series, takes aim at Paranormal Activity, Black Swan, and Inception, just to name a few. This time around, Ashley Tisdale is in the starring role, while Molly Shannon, Simon Rex, and Heather Locklear also make appearances. But let's face it: the only real reason to watch this trailer to see Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen in bed together in their brief cameo.
Not only is the trailer unfunny, but also, most of the movie references seem pretty dated. I think it's high time for the Scary Movies to finally die, but it's not happening yet, so watch the trailer when you read more
