Monday Morning Box Office Report: Guardians Back on Top, Sin City Snuffed Out

They say the cream rises to the top and that’s precisely how Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy found itself back at the top of the box office in its fourth weekend, which is a pretty rare occurrence in this day and age. The movie officially passed Transformers: Age of Extinction to become the highest-grossing movie of the summer (in the U.S., at least) and should soon pass both The Lego Movie and Captain America: The Winter Soldier to become the biggest movie of the year. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dropped to #2 while If I Stay led the newcomers in third place with a respectable $16 million debut. Let’s Be Cops fell to fourth and When the Game Stands Tall rounded out the top 5. Meanwhile Sin City: A Dame to Kill For performed even worse than anyone could have predicted, opening in eighth place with just $6.5 million — 78% less than the original Sin City made back in 2005. At this point it’s starting to feel like Robert Rodriguez’s career is on life support and I think the chances of Sin City 3 happening just got pummeled into oblivion.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy — $17.6M
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — $16.8M
3. If I Stay — $16.4M
4. Let’s Be Cops — $11M
5. When the Game Stands Tall — $9M
6. The Giver — $6.7M
7. The Expendables 3 — $6.6M
8. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For — $6.5M
9. The Hundred-Foot Journey — $5.6M
10. Into the Storm — $3.8M

    It didn’t help that Sin City looked like garbage and was boring as hell
