Top 12 Films At The Box Office

Inside Out" and "Jurassic World" are still drawing significant audiences to theaters, even in their second and third weekends, leaving little room for newer fare like "Ted 2. The raunchy sequel brought in a decent $33.5 million, but that number was significantly less than the $45 to $50 million expectations - not to mention the first film's $54.4 million debut in 2012. The movie matches the wit and pace of a 1990s monster movie with the attitudes and anxieties of 2015, and the result is a film that's as smart as it is exciting. The action scenes are imaginative and suspenseful and gradually take on a demented exuberance. The latest from Pixar is an ambitious, original movie that depicts the inner workings of a little girl's mind. The jokes are audacious and plentiful, and viewers who don't mind vulgar humor will find much to enjoy. There's some sappy music and a Hallmark look to it, but it's effective in playing to the viewer's emotions. Melissa McCarthy gets her best starring role to date in this comedy, from writer-director Paul Feig, about a desk-job CIA agent who gets sent out on her first field assignment - to stop a team of terrorists. The movie promises great earthquake effects, and that's what you get in this straight-ahead action movie. Nobody's pretending to make a masterpiece here, but this is a good summer entertainment that, within its limits, is imaginative and well-acted. More mean ghosts show up from the "Further" as psychic Elise tries to help yet another innocent family in this unwanted prequel. Artful touches and a cleverly imagined future world lift this film somewhat, but the bottom line is that it's pretty much a two-hour chase scene, with lots of fake-looking special effects. Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson and the rest of the Barden Bellas are back for this delightful sequel to the 2012 hit.
