TMNT, Let's Be Cops, and
Guardians of the Galaxy drop in tandem to the bottom three spots, on this
week's top ten movies at the box-office. The Liam Neeson led action/drama, and
last week's second in the countdown, A Walk Among the Tombstones takes a vertiginous dive and lends itself in
seventh. In sixth is director Sam Miller's thriller No Good Deed starring Idris Elba, and Taraji P. Henson, followed by Dolphin
Tale in fifth. Director Shawn Levy's R-rated comedy, This is Where I Leave You starring
everyone! drops one spot and is left in fourth.
Opening the top three is the Stop-Motion
animation by directors Graham Annable, and Anthony Stacchi, The Boxtrolls,
starring Ben Kingsley, Toni Collette, Elle Fanning Jared Harris, Simon Pegg,
Nick Frost, and Richard Ayoade.
The
Boxtrolls, a community of quirky, mischievous creatures, have lovingly raised
an orphaned human boy named Eggs in the amazing cavernous home they've built
beneath the streets of Cheesebridge. When the town's villain, Archibald
Snatcher, comes up with a plot to get rid of the Boxtrolls, Eggs decides to
venture above ground, "into the light," where he meets and teams up
with fabulously feisty Winnifred. Together, they devise a daring plan to save
Eggs' family.
Starring Dylan
O'Brien, Kayla Scodelario, Will Poulter, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, director Wes
Ball's adaptation of James Dashner's young adult novel, The Maze Runner drops
to second.
The film stars
Dylan O’Brien as Thomas, a young man that wakes up in an elevator with no
memory of who he is or where he’s at, but soon finds out that he has been taken
to the center of a maze. There he joins a group of teenagers who have been
trying to get away from the forever changing and deadly labyrinth.
Director Antoine Fuqua brings
the late eighties to the big screen with the adaptation of The Equalizer
starring Denzel Washington as Robert McCall, a former black ops commando who has
faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his
self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri, he finds himself face to
face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those
who brutalize the helpless, McCall's desire for justice is re-awakened. If
someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere
else to turn, McCall will help. He
is The Equalizer.
The Equalizer also stars
Marton Csokas, Chloe Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Bill Pullman, Haley Bennett, and
Melissa Leo.
