US Box office Results: May 9 - 11, 2014
The new Seth Rogan comedy NEIGHBORS was the top box office draw over the Mother Day weekend, drawing a little over $49 million dollars. That should be enough of a jump start to push the summer comedy over the $100 million mark, by the end of it's run. Believe it or not, this is the best opening weekend for a Seth Rogan live action film, topping THE GREEN HORNET by nearly $16 million. Three other Rogan films have done better, but all are animated films, including SHREK THE THIRD.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, finishing at #2, has pushed up it's grand total to over $146 million, after 10 days of release. The other superhero film, CAPTAIN AMERICA: TWS has a total 6 week take over over $246 million.
The little film that could, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL continues to do well for it's small $12 million production budget. The film's total take is up to nearly $76 million, after for weeks of release. The BIG release from the same weekend as HEAVEN OS FOR REAL, the johnny Depp lead TRANSCENDENCE, finished in 21st position, with about $350,000 for the weekend.
