Top Five Movies of The Week May 29-31

May 29-31, 2015

As I predicted, San Andreas reigns supreme at the box office bringing in a total of $53,215,000 and counting. More than three times the amount the second place Pitch Perfect 2 brings to the box office with a respectable $14,381,000 to hold on to the number two spot in its third week. This was a 53.3% drop from the week before. Tomorrowland had a bigger fall from grace from the first spot to the third with only $13,803,000 bringing its total to just over 60 million. Disney has to be disappointed with these numbers. Last week the film staring George Clooney was at the number one spot but has only grossed a total of 63 million domestically in two weeks on a $190 Million budget. Luckily Disney's Cash Cow is still bringing home the bacon with over $400 million domestic and almost $900 million foreign with a whopping total of $1,321,270,000 (billion), Avengers: Age of Ultron still holding on at number five. This is the fifth week in the box office for the Marvel blockbuster and its still making a statement. I may have to see it again.

Breaking down the rest of the list.

Aloha says hello and goodbye with a mediocre entrance at number six with only $10,000,000 open. Poltergeist doesn't seem to be building any kind of momentum. I think they should have released that one in October. After that you have Far from the Madding Crowd, Hot Pursuit and Home rounds out the eighth, ninth, and tenth spot all bringing in less than $1.5 million. Furious 7 finally falls from the top ten after nine weeks.

Next week be on the look out for Incidious 3, Spy and The Enterouge movie.

My pick is Incidious 3. As much as I love Enterouge I got to go with a proven franchise.

Mad Max was Awesomely Overrated!

Maybe its because everyone said its so great. I can't be told that.

You build up my expectations and I'm going to always think it could have been better. In this case, no, it was the perfect blend of action and suspense. The practical effects were great
and it was a wild ride but seeing as everyone was going on and on I can only start from the top and begin to chip away at the perfect grade once I see something I don't like.

For starters, stop saying this is a Furiosa's movie. Mad Max was the hero helping out his fellow co and supporting actors. But this was very much a Mad Max movie.

Well, that's all I got. The only complaint. The viewers complaining about whether or not this was really a Mad Max movie. I say, who cares. This was an action packed thrill ride. Just watch it, and be entertained. Was it the best movie in the world? No. But it fires on all cylinders and has a guitar with flames.

Yep! One of the best ever.

Oh yeah, if Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy aren't getting along, its not a problem, its obvious that George Miller is handing off the franchise to a Furiosa. This would be great for female leads. Charlize Theron is proven to be box office gold. It would be great for Hollywood to bank on her. I could live with this being the last Mad Max but since we're getting a sequel I'd love it if Tom Hardy would stop channeling Bane in every other movie. Or is that just his voice?
