If you haven’t seen Battle:Los Angeles, you should go check it out, it’s worth the price of admission.
As everyone expected, Battle:Los Angeles dominated at the box office this weekend taking in $36.0 million. The film received mostly positive reviews, and the special effects were amazing. There was no doubt Battle: Los Angeles would take the top spot, it was just a matter of much it would earn.
The family animated movie, Rango, which claimed last weeks top spot, fell to second place grossing $23.1 million. This is not bad considering three other movies, Red Riding Hood, Battle: Los Angeles, and Mars Needs Moms, all opened this weekend.
Red Riding Hood finished in third place pulling in a very disappointing $14.1 million. The film received mostly negative reviews, despite having a likeable cast led by Amanda Seyfried.
Rounding out the top five at the box office were the romantic thriller, The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, which came in forth place earning $11.5 million, and the disappointment of the weekend was the Walt Disney animated family film, Mars Needs Moms, making only $6.8 million in the fifth place spot.
The classic 80′s cartoon, The Smurfs, will be hitting the big screen this Summer. Those who have seen a rough cut of the movie, have loved it. The film is a CGI (computer-generated imagery) live action film, starring Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), Jayma Mays (Glee) and Sofía Vergara (Modern Family). Voicing the characters are legendary comedian, Jonathan Winters, singer, Katy Perry, and Pee Wee Herman
(Paul Reubens).
This movie should be a lot of fun. Check out the new trailer which was just released a few days ago and let us know what you think.
