YOUR WEEKEND
BOX OFFICE
Buena Vista's family-friendly Zootopia was the #1 film in America over the weekend, as it became Walt Disney Animation Studios' largest three-day opening ever. Two other debuts appeared in the Top 5: Focus' London Has Fallen (#2) and Paramount's Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (#4), starring Tina Fey.
Meanwhile, Fox's Deadpool became the third R-rated movie to cross the $300m mark and the fourth highest grossing superhero origin feature in history.

In limited release, Broad Green's Knight of Cups—Terrence Malick's latest arty attempt, starring Christian Bale and Natalie Portman—pulled in $57k across just four theaters for a sizable per-theater average (approximately $14k), but garnered some less than pleasant reviews. "Knight of Cups settles into a lukewarm bath of male self-pity, a condition perhaps more deserving of satire than sanctification," wrote The New York Times' A.O. Scott for example.
