Oz: The Great And Powerful Soars To The Top Of The Box Office For A Second Week
Oz: The Great and Powerful blew its way into the top box office spot for the second week in a row, earning $42.2 during its second week of release. After only 10 days of release, Oz has earned a whopping $145 million, making Sam Raimi’s magical film the highest grossing film of 2013 thus far.
Halle Berry’s new thriller, The Call, did better than expected bringing in $17.1 million during its opening weekend. Pretty impressive considering the film was released in fewer than 600 theaters and had a budget of only $13 million.
Warner Brother’s continued its streak of movie flops with Steve Carell’s latest comedy, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. The film couldn’t conjure up more than $10.3 million over the weekend, earning it third place in the box office. This latest offering by WB will need to find a few more tricks up its sleeve if it hopes to see a decent profit from its estimated production budget of $30 million.
And bringing in the rear were Jack the Giant Slayer and the still popular comedy, Identity Thief. Jack came in fourth with $6.5 million in earnings, bringing its three week total to $53.9 million. Meanwhile, Identity Thief brought in $4.5 million, making it 2013’s second highest grossing film with a total of $123.7 million since its release.

Second place went to Dwayne Johnson’s A.K.A The Rock’s action flick, Snitch.

Warm Bodies Chomps Its Way To Number 1 At Box Office!
The Super Bowl may have been this weekend’s most anticipated event, but that didn’t keep the walking dead from raising big money at the box office.
The atypical romantic comedy, Warm Bodies, drew in $20 million this past weekend earning it the number one box office spot. The film, starring Nicholas Hoult, cost a little over $30 million to make and is the story of a zombie boy and a human girl, whose feelings for one another may just be the thing that saves them and the rest of the dead world.
Last week’s most popular film, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, dropped to second place earning only $9.4 million this weekend. This film will have to conjure up a bigger audience if it wants to surpass its $50 million budget.
Oscar nominated, Silver Linings Playbook, still isn’t ready to let go of its third place spot in the box office, bringing in another $8.1 million.
Academy Award nominated actress, Jessica Chastain, stayed on the radar even with all the football madness this weekend.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Is #1 at Box Office, Movie 43 Flops!
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, cast a spell on movie goers this weekend grabbing the No. 1 box office spot with a $19 million debut. The film, starring actor Jeremy Renner, cost $50 million to produce and was actually originally scheduled to be released in theaters back in March 2012. January is usually the month reserved for the release of movies that are, well, basically crap, but for now at least, audiences put this one on top- despite its poor ratings.
Horror film, Mama, dropped down to second place this week earning a total of $12.9 million during its second week of release. The film has already earned close to $48.7 million, quickly making back its $15 million budget … and then some.
Silver Linings Playbook is still holding on tight to third place, bringing in $10 million over the weekend. The awards buzz surrounding this film has kept audience interest intact.
Academy Award nominee, Zero Dark Thirty, plummeted into fourth place, earning only $9.8 million over the weekend. So far the thriller has brought in $69.9, surpassing its $40 million budget.
Meeting its low expectations Jason Statham’s Parker, also starring Jennifer Lopez, came in at fifth place, bringing in $7 million during its opening weekend. Considering its estimated $35 million budget, its weekend earnings is more suspenseful than audiences found the crime film to be.
Meanwhile, the release of the much talked about Movie 43 was a total failure. The film debuted in seventh place at the box office earning only $5 million. The comedy, which only had a $6 million budget & whose cast includes every actor in Hollywood, well not really, but it does star big names such as Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet, and Halle Berry, to name a few, and markets itself as not being for ”the easily-offended,” is being described as vulgar, tasteless, stupid, and worst- not funny. Since its budget was only $6 million it may, at least, make that back.

Oscar nominee Silver Linings Playbook, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, made its way into third place with $11.4 in earnings after expanding nationwide into 2,523 theaters.

Meanwhile, Gangster Squad continues to disappoint falling to fourth place, and only bringing in $9.1 million this weekend. Although the numbers are low, the film has managed to regain half of its $60 million budget.
Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe’s Broken City didn’t fare that well either finding itself in fifth place with $9 million in earning during its opening weekend.
