“Apes” continues to showcase their dominance as they take the top spot again at this weekend’s box office. Matt Reeves has delivered another solid addition to the reinvented franchise. Taking second place this weekend is the follow up film to the 2013 movie, “The Purge.” This sequel changes the perspective and highlights the terrifying scenarios for those who are locked outside when the purge commences. On a much happier note, “Planes: Fire & Rescue” finished up the top 3 weekend box office rank with an estimated $18 million. Lacking in performance was Cameron Diaz & Jason Segal’s comedy film, “Sex Tape.” If you saw the film, tweet us your review and let us know why you think “Sex Tape” came in at number 4. Check out this weekend’s top grossing films in THEPOPFIX’s weekly installment of all things new at the box office!
