The theaters lacked attention from the public this Labor Day weekend. Although there wasn’t the usual number of attendees, there will always be a box office king. “Guardians of the Galaxy” brought in another $16 million, holding it’s title of highest domestic grossing. “As Above, So Below” spammed social media with their promotional campaigns, but they only brought in an estimated $8 million this holiday weekend. The colorizing film, “The Giver” finished up the weekend with an estimated $5 million. Will the box office gross remain in the lower numbers, due to the lack of big blockbusters premiering in the following weeks?

“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.”

“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” dominated movie ticket sales this weekend. The genetically evolved apes took on both humans and “Transformers.” Can the apes hold their rank when “Sex Tape” and “The Purge: Anarchy are released?

“Transformers: Age of Extinction” continues to take the cake this holiday weekend. Even without Shia LaBeouf, they held the top spot for the 2nd week with an estimated weekend gross of $36,400,000. Melissa McCarthy’s road tripping comedy, “Tammy” took in an estimated $21,170,000. It appears that movie goers were too busy celebrating the 4th of July to catch the horror-thriller “Deliver Us From Evil,” or even the “E.T.” knockoff “Earth To Echo.”

Sequels dominated the box office this weekend. Sony Pictures had the two highest grossing films, including “Think Like a Man Too” and “22 Jump Street.” Click to find out which other sequel landed in the top 3 with an estimated $25 million weekend gross in THEPOFPIX’s weekly rundown of everything new at the box office.

Audiences laughed out loud this weekend as they caught Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, reprising their roles in the “Jump Street” sequel. Their latest comedy was the highest grossing film this weekend, defeating the sequel to the animated film, “How To Train Your Dragon.” Check out this weekend’s top grossing films in THEPOPFIX’s weekly installment of all things new at the box office!

There was no signs of weakness in John Green’s movie adaptation of “The Fault In Our Stars,” as it captured the top spot in this weekend’s box office. Audiences shed tears as they were filled with emotion in the very heartfelt film. Last week’s top ranker, “Maleficient,” had no need to shed a tear or two, coming in an honorable second in grossing.

Angelina Jolie takes the last piece of May movie cake, as she tops the box office with the untold story of “Maleficent.” Disney worked their story-telling magic and pulled in an estimated $70 million over the weekend in ticket sales. Jolie was mesmerizing as a fairy filled with vengeance and may I also add that she pulled off the comedic lines quite well. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Seth MacFarlane’s “A Million Ways To Die In The West,” which only debuted with half of what “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” brought in during their second week of showing.
