Box: Is there ever going to a Bloody Mary movie?

1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $38m / $157m / $250m
2. Rio 2 - $34m / $34m / $115m
3. Oculus - $13m / $13m / $45m
4. Draft Day - $11m / $11m / $32m
5. Noah - $7.5m / $85.5m / $103m
6. Divergent - $6.5m / $124m / $140m
7. God's Not Dead - $5.5m / $40.5m / $60m
8. Grand Budapest Hotel - $4.5m / $40m / $60m
9. Muppets Most Wanted - $3.5m / $47m / $58m
10. Mr. Peabody and Sherman - $3.5m / $107m / $118m

Captain America, as expected, broke the April opening weekend record.  Let this be a lesson to Hollywood to continue opening tentpoles throughout the year instead of crowding the money-making months.  Rio 2 will probably perform similarly, albeit a bit lighter, than its predecessor.  Oculus will be the one to keep an eye on.  (Har!)  Insidious opened almost exactly three years ago and had a well received run, and the haunted mirror movie is getting nice ink from critics.  Lastly, Draft Day arrives with some of the most confused marketing since Endless Love.  Is it a sports movie?  A satire?  An all-out comedy?  A character piece?  A thriller?  I have no fucking clue.
