1

The Croods

Emma Stone plays the epically curious Eep, a teen cavegirl with a crush on a modern boy and his hilarious tree-sloth buddy. Exploring what it means to be human, this beautiful animated film explored its way to $44.7 million at the box office.

Olympus Has Fallen

Gerard Butler plays a pumped-up, realistic bad-a**, able to single-handedly take down a brutal Korean paramilitary group. Earning $30.5 million this weekend, this action thriller will no doubt stick around past spring break.

Oz the Great and Powerful

Adding $22 million in box office takings, this prequel to The Wizard of Oz is truly magical, but how long can it stay in the top three?

The Call

This hot thriller starring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin stuffed another $8.7 million into its car trunk this weekend, making its creepy ending even more disturbing.

Admission

While most critics panned this film, we thought Tina Fey did the best acting of her career to date. Opening to $6.4 million isn't anything for Ms. Bossypants to get neurotic over.

Spring Breakers

This wildly strange and intoxicating film stars James Franco as one of the most freaky and sinister characters of the year. This movie opened widely this week to $5 million.

Steve Carell and Olivia Wilde can't be too wild about this film's lack of magical box office return — a mere $4.2 million this weekend.

Jack the Giant Slayer

With kids out of school, no doubt many will flock to this new version of the beloved fairy tale. Starring Nicholas Hoult and Eleanor Tomlinson, Jack added $2.9 million to its $59 million total.
