Top Five Movies from 3/7/2014
I'm a little disappointed that I can't make Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel the top movie this weekend. GBH is in limited release this weekend and didn't make its way to Central Illinois. Hopefully it will be the top movie in coming weeks. With that out of the way, Mr. Peabody & Sherman is the top movie! Pairing amazing animation and a frantic pace, Mr. Peabody & Sherman makes for another great film for the whole family to enjoy (a la top movie mainstay The LEGO Movie. Critics have given Mr. Peabody & Sherman a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes and it is likely to be certified fresh soon.
For fans of 2007's 300 and action lovers everywhere 300: Rise of an Empire is finally in theaters. It was originally supposed to come out in summer 2013 but was delayed for quality control. 300: Rise of an Empire has received mostly poor reviews leading to its 44% fresh rating.
The third, fourth, and fifth place films are all films that have been out for at least a week. Non-Stop, last week's top film takes third. Pompeii, largely panned by critics and bombing at the box office takes fourth. Son of God, another film garnering much criticism, pulls up the rear in fifth. Honestly, I wouldn't pay to see any of these movies but they're out now there should be plenty of seats available at all screenings.
1. Mr. Peabody & Sherman
2. 300: Rise of an Empire
3. Non-Stop
4. Pompeii
5. Son of God
