Box Office Weekend: 8-10 August – TMNT Opens Big; Hercules Still A Disappointment & More


Disney's Planes: Fire & Rescue didn't impress and opens this weekend's countdown in tenth, followed by Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in ninth. The James Brown biopic, Get On Up, takes a vertiginous drop from last week's countdown, from third to eighth. In seventh is another film that didn't impressed, Brett Ratner's Hercules starring Dwayne Johnson.

Four new releases made it to this weekends top ten chart. The first, and in sixth is the fifth installment in the Step Up franchise, Step Up All In. Luc Besson's sci-fi/action flick starring Scarlett Johansson, Lucy takes a dive from last week's number two spot, and currently sits in fifth. In fourth we have the second of this weekend's releases that made its way to the top of the chart, The Hundred-Foot Journey, directed by Lasse Hallstrom, and starring Helen Mirren, and Charlotte LeBon.

The top three starts with the third new release. Director Steven Quale's found footage/disaster movie, Into the Storm flew to third, starring Richard Armitage (The Hobbit trilogy), Sarah Wayne Callies, Matt Walsh, and Jeremy Sumpter.

In the span of a single day, the town of Silverton is ravaged by an unprecedented onslaught of tornadoes. The entire town is at the mercy of the erratic and deadly cyclones, even as storm trackers predict the worst is yet to come. Most people seek shelter, while others run towards the vortex, testing how far a storm chaser will go for that once-in-a-lifetime shot.



Marvel's space adventure directed by James Gunn, and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper, Guardians of the Galaxy dropped from last week's number one spot, but it's still going strong.

An action-packed epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

And in first is the fourth new release that made it into the top ten. Director Jonathan Liebesman's reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, starring Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Megan Fox as April O’Neil, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, Danny Woodburn as Master Splinter and William Fichtner as Shredder. In addition, Johnny Knoxville will voice Leonardo and Tony Shalhoub will give voice to Master Splinter.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Official Synopsis:
The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.
