WEEKEND BOX OFFICE (09.02.14) – “Guardians” Held the Holiday Weekend
0It probably comes as no surprise to anyone that “Guardians of the Galaxy” continues to rock the box office. Over the holiday weekend the film took in just over $17 million, easily surpassing “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” with $11.9 million. The YA tearjerker “If I Stay” brought in a respectable $9.3 million in its second week in theaters, while Universal’s “As Above, So Below” debuted at $8.6 million. Rounding out the top 5, “Let’s Be Cops” made $8.3 million for Fox.
Now that the summer season is officially over, there’s not a ton going on for the upcoming weekend, which will be here before you know it…we promise. This weekend we’ve got “The Identical,” a drama about two brothers who are separated at birth and go on to lead two very different lives. I’m betting “Guardians” will still be number one next weekend.
