1. Lone Survivor tears the box office apart after opening up with $37 million after being released worldwide

2. Frozen continues to bring in solid box office numbers as it begins its 3rd month of being in the theaters

3. After opening strong last week  Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones almost slips out of the top 10 in its second week falling from 2nd to 9th

4. August: Osage County brought in some good numbers making $7.7 million after gaining a wider release 

5. It looks as if The Legend of Hercules will be a flop after making $8.8 million while having a budget of $70 million (not counting the advertising budget)

        So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of the box office numbers and what are some of your takeaways.? Let me know in the comments section and let your voice be heard.
