Two movies entered the marketplace this weekend, both with good reviews, and both highly anticipated. Surprise surprise, the PG-13 sequel won the weekend… by a lot. Not that Mad Max: Fury Road disappointed. It actually debuted really well, especially for a 2nd place debut. Even Avengers did really well in third place. Hot Pursuit fell apart though. That’s almost a 60% drop in week two… for a comedy. Unusual. And it looks like Far From The Madding Crowd broke into the top 10. Congrats! Next weekend, Tomorrowland makes its impact, and Poltergeist aims to scare some people into buying tickets.
