Jennifer shines, Vaughn is dim
"When the first film was released, there was this idea that it was going to appeal largely to young girls," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. "But over time, it's skewing back toward male audiences. There's actually a lot of action, there's violence in the movie. It's crossing over to a much broader base." (CBS)
It was truly Jennifer Lawrence’s weekend. The Oscar-winning actress has been praised for her role in the second Hunger Games film, and not just for her performance. Many commentators believe her to be a positive role model for young girls, something that Miley Cyrus’s twerking, provocative music videos and raunchy behavior seems to have rendered rare.
Vince Vaughn failed to ignite any sort of emotion from anyone with Deliver Man, apart from maybe apathy
Elsewhere, The Best Man Holiday grabbed $12 million, beating out Vince Vaughn’s Delivery Man in 4th. The comedy actor is enduring a terrible run; The Internship was a critical and financial mishit, hooking under $100m, while Delivery Man – which sees Vaughn father 533 children – has been roundly criticized, and opened with a meek $8 million.
Relatively’s Free Birds managed to stay in the top 5 despite fluttering about in its 4th week, and you can check out the rest of the top 10 below:
1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: $161. million
2. Thor: The Dark World: $14.12 million
3. The Best Man Holiday: $12.5 million
4. Delivery Man: $8.2 million
5. Free Birds: $5.3 million
6. Last Vegas: $4.4 million
7. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa: $3.45 million
8. Gravity: $3.3 million
9. 12 Years a Slave: $2.8 million
10. Dallas Buyers Club: $2.77 million
