With two relatively small wide releases opening over the weekend, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" enjoyed a healthy three-day gross of $16 million and became 2014's highest-grossing movie with $274 million, surpassing the previous champion "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" which achieved a domestic total of $262 million. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is also enjoying a very solid run, grossing $11.7 million this weekend which adds up to a total of $162 million.

Now, back to the two new releases. First, the spy thriller "The November Man" starring Pierce Brosnan and Olga Kurylenko grossed $7.6 million in five days and ranked sixth in the top 10, a pretty weak result, but not a complete disaster for the $20 million flick. A somewhat better gross was registered by "As Above/So Below", which took in $8.3 million in 3 days and placed fifth. The horror film only cost $5 million to make, so it has actually turned a profit.

New Wide Releases: "As Above/So Below", "The November Man".

Biggest Drop : "The Expendables 3" (-46%)
