Box Office Weekend: 1-3 August 2014 - Guardians Hits The Top; Transformers 4 Reaches The Billion Mark


Groot!Groot!Groot!Groo! But first! 

In tenth place is director Anton Corbijn's A Most Wanted Man, starring the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Rob Reiner's comedy starring Michael Douglas, and Diane Keaton moves up to ninth. The Jason Segel, and Cameron Diaz R-Rated comedy, Sex Tape, drops from sixth to eighth. The Frank Grillo lead sequel, The Purge: Anarchy takes a drop from last weekend's countdown, and now sits in seventh. Weirdly, and without ever making a splash at the box-office are Disney's animated 3D feature, Planes: Fire & Rescue, and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which are floating in the middle of the table, in sixth and fifth respectively. Surprisingly in fourth is Brett Ratner's comic book adaptation, Hercules starring Dwayne Johnson, which like the two previous spots, also didn't make a big splash at the box-office.

Director Tate Taylor's James Brown biopic, Get On Up, didn't reached the top but got close. The third movie of the weekend stars Chadwick Boseman as Brown, Nelsan Ellis as Bobby Byrd, Dan Aykroyd as Ben Bart, Viola Davis as Susie Brown, Lennie James as Joe Brown, Craig Robinson as Maceo Parker, Jill Scott as DeeDee Brown, and Octavia Spencer as Aunt Honey.



Despite the lack of stellar reviews, Luc Besson's R-Rated sci-fi action flick, Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson, and Morgan Freeman remains in the top three for the second week in a row.





And in first is James Gunn's space adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy, which opened strong, and already got almost all of it's production budget back.






Out of the list, but still making headlines, is Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, which is the first movie of the year to reach the billion dollar mark.
