2014 Week 5 box office totals

1. Ride Along $12.0 million - I expect this to fall by next weekend but this has had a really good run that can't be described as simply noteworthy.

2. Frozen $8.9 million - For a film that came out in mid-November, it is very impressive that week after week it is making money and strong money too.

3. That Awkward Moment $8.7 million - Not necessarily bad for an opening on this weekend but I really question why this wasn't released in the summer or the spring.

4. The Nut Job $7.3 million - If this was a normal week, I would expected for this to fall and it did  but it got lucky more than anything this week.

5.  Lone Survivor $7.1 million

6. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit $5.3 million - I expected this film to do well at the beginning but once again it is just in the middle of the road for box office receipts. It is slowly but surely making it's money back though.

7. Labor Day $5.2 million - I didn't except this to make much on it's opening weekend due to the dull subject matter but even so and for this type of week, this should have made more.

8. American Hustle $4.2 million

9. I, Frankenstein $3.8 million- For a slow week, this was the week for this type of film that could rise but it didn't really and is still a ways off.

10. The Wolf of Wall Street $ 3.4 million - Like American Hustle, this film is starting to slow down and both should be out of the top ten by next week.

What we have learned: Ride Along is impressive again and Super Bowl Sunday week is always a slow week.

What's ahead: The Monuments Men, The Lego Movie and Vampire Academy all come out next weekend.

Predictions for next week: I expect The Lego Movie to dominate and it will be another weekend for the kids.

Week four 2014 box office totals

1. Ride Along: $21.3 million- This was no surprise as the top film. Last week, this one proved itself and it's star power leads are really helping this.

2. Lone Survivor: $12.9 million- Along with Ride Along, this film continue to make a lot of money because of the names involved and here because it is based off a popular book. This film is going to be making money for a while.

3. The Nut Job: $12.1 million- For what this animation film is, this is not bad. I don't expect it be around much longer in the top ten but it has had a nice little run.

4. Frozen: $9.1 million- This is another animation film and from 2013 that continues to make strong money. It's time is almost up but it still has had a impressive run.

5. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit $9.1 million- This was a film that was supposed to make so much money but like last week, it's just sitting in the middle ground. It looks like a film that I don't see many people are interested in due to the fact that the main character time has come and gone.

6. I, Frankenstein $8.6 million- Another January horror bomb. It will make it's money back from the foreign money but you have to question of what's left of the Frankenstein character or if this is just not the right month to release a horror film.

7. American Hustle $7.1 million- This took a small drop after Oscar nominations increased sales last week.

8. August: Osage County $ 5.5 million- One of the lesser known Oscar film that's at the right spot at the bottom of the box office. Wait until home video where it will be interesting to see where it's at.

9. The Wolf of Wall Street $5.0 million- Like American Hustle, it's a heavily Oscar nomination film that has made enough money and it's time is almost up.

10. Devil Due $2.8 million - Like I, Frankenstein, this was expect to make money it hasn't and come next weekend, this will be out of the top ten.

What we have learned: We have learned that people still care about the Oscar films, that they could care less about horror films in January, that the Jack Ryan character is dead and the kiddies still want to see the animation films in the new year.

What's ahead: With it being Super Bowl weekend, the only two big release films next weekend are Labor Day and The Awkward Moment. .

Predictions for next week: I still predict Ride Along to win this weekend only this time in a smaller margin with The Awkward Moment a close second.
