1. Noah (despite controversy) rolled over the competition and opened up with really solid numbers, but it better enjoy it while it can because Captain America: The Winter Soldier is coming for number 1 next week. 
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel was in 1,509 less theaters than Sabotage and it made $3 million dollars more than Sabotage. You could also say the same for God's Not Dead as well.
3. God's Not Dead surprised everyone and managed to crack the top 5 and I'm glad to see it happen
4. With no other competition besides Noah, Divergent was able to make a good chunk of money for a 2nd place movie in it's second weekend
5. Though they have had really good numbers outside of the U.S., 300: Rise of an Empire, Need for Speed and Non-Stop are considered financial failures in America.

        So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of the weekend box office numbers and what are some of your key takeaways.
