Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Other Woman’ Defeats ‘Captain America 2′
After nearly a month on top of the box office, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' got taken down by a bunch of funny ladies.

Our Nightmares Are Coming True: ‘It’s a Small World’ and ‘Peeps’ Movies in the Works
When you follow movie news as closely as we do, you learn to roll your eyes at terrible ideas and move on.

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Divergent’ Leaves ‘Muppets Most Wanted’ in the Dust
If the main goal of 'Divergent' was to snag a large portion of the audience for 'The Hunger Games,' it looks like it succeeded.

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Need For Speed’ Sputters at the Box Office
If the goal for 'Need For Speed' was to replicate the success of the 'Fast and Furious' films, then the film's opening weekend is not promising. Opening in third place, the video game adaptation was overtaken by two of last week's releases, making this potential franchise D.O.A.
