Escape From Planet Earth | featured news

Despite the paltry reviews most of this last week’s releases received, they all made a somewhat respectable showing for themselves at the box office. First and foremost among the new releases is A Good Day to Die Hard, which grossed $25 million over the weekend, for a total of $33.2 million (as the film first opened in theaters on Valentine’s Day). As tired as the franchise is, it clearly has enough appeal to muster enough fans to make decent numbers on its opening weekend.

We’ve a sizeable batch of new releases this week—and between an action film sequel, a dramatic romance, a mystical-young-adult-book-turned-movie, and a cutesy animated film, there’s something for everyone, provided you’re not too choosy about film quality.
