Several films debuted at the box office Friday, but only one had the strength to overcome competition from holdover champ “Captain America: Winter Soldier.”<\/p>\n
“Rio 2,” that film, narrowly edged the superhero movie to claim first place Friday. Its $12.0 million topped the $11.9 million garnered by “Captain.” As family-oriented films tend to do big business in Saturday matinees, it will likely expand its lead to claim first this weekend.<\/p>\n
“Oculus” and “Draft Day,” the other newcomers, followed with $4.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively. “Divergent” followed to complete the top five.<\/p>\n
When it comes to reviews, “Rio 2,” interestingly, received the worst crtical marks of the major new releases. Its 50% RT score trails the 71% for “Oculus” and 62% for “Draft Day.”<\/p>\n
It predictably dominated with moviegoers, however. Its rare A CinemaScore tops the B+ for “Draft Day” and C for “Oculus.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[36,1050],"tags":[2002,1828,2076,2075,2074,2003],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
