Weekend Box Office: ‘Guardians’ Rises To The Top, ‘Sin City’ Flops

Posted on the 25 August 2014 by Sirmac2 @macthemovieguy

We are officially in the slump of the season. If I Stay was the only new release that did well. When The Game Stands Tall did what it was expected to do, but Sin City was a huge flop.

Next weekend, the releases are awful. The November Man is getting terrible reviews, and As Above So Below will be lucky to do 10-12M… which might be enough to take 1st place. The following weekend has one new release, from Freestyle Releasing, so you can understand how dire it is.

Love Is Strange managed a 25K per screen average, which is really good. The One I Love did pretty good, with a 6K average.

Of the holdovers, Guardians only dropped 29%, TMNT dipped 41%, Lets Be Cops held well with 38%, and The Hundred Foot Journey dropped 22%. The Expendables 3 dove 58%, not great for a film already struggling.
