The Divergent Series: Insurgent
Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 Bests Paul Blart
Even with three major debuts, very little can stop the car-crunching excess of Furious 7, which held the top spot at the box office yet again for a third week with an estimated $29.1 million.

Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 Keeps On Trucking

Box Office Weekend: Insurgent Surges, Gunman Lacks Caliber
With Young Adult fiction making good bank at the box office, it should be no surprise that the dystopian Divergent movies are moving along well with a first-place finish for The Divergent Series: Insurgent and an estimated $54 million to start the weekend right, even if critics are lambasting it. It is not getting as much flak as The Gunman; debuting in fourth with an estimated $5 million, the Sea...[Read More]
