Top Domestic Movies of 2014: How Do They Match Up?

By Matt Cummings
We breakdown the most successful films so far in 2014.
This week, we broke down some of the best films so far of 2014, but how does that list compare to the domestic box office? You might be surprised. Here are the top 7 domestic money makers of 2014. Which are on your list?

Top Domestic Movies of 2014
1. Captain America: The Winter Solider - 257.846m
2. The LEGO Movie - 257.092m
3. X-Men: Days of Future Past - 227m
4. Malificent - 213.8m
5. The Amazing Spider-man 2 - 200.376m
6. Godzilla - 197m
7. Transformers: Age of Extinction - 174.746m


This list provides us interesting details about the overall health of the box office. For one, we see that the top 5 films of 2014 have all made over $200 million, a stark contrast to June, when we had only one (The LEGO Movie). As a matter of comparison, 2013 featured only two: Iron Man 3 and Oz: The Great and Powerful. Of course by August 31 2013, we had 7 films over $200m and two more poised to reach that rarified air. Whether the 2014 numbers translate into an increase year-over-year is anyone's guess.

For now, these weaker numbers seem to suggest a downward trend, coupled perhaps by July 4th falling on a Friday, leaving many theaters empty while families watched fireworks and attended BBQ's. We'll be sure to follow up on this trend as July rolls through with several interesting titles.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
