"Ride Along" has won the box office for the third straight weekend.
The Kevin Hart/Ice Cube comedy made a solid $12 million and brought its total to $92 million. The total was solid especially with the Super Bowl on Sunday. The film is now on pace to become the first film to pass the $100 million mark in 2014.
In second place, "Frozen" beat out the new release "That Awkward Moment." The animated film made $9.3 million and has so far made $360 million. "Frozen" is currently on track to become the third-highest grossing film of 2013 beating out "Despicable Me 2." With "The Lego Movie" being released next week the Disney flick could have some trouble holding on but the fact that both movies appeal to different genders could help "Frozen" continue its solid business.
In third place, "That Awkward Moment" bombed with an estimated $9 million. The film marks the fourth Zac Efron film to underperform. The Focus Features release was marred by the bad reviews and the fact that it opened on Super Bowl Weekend.
Open Road Films continued to enjoy solid business with "The Nut Job." The film scored $7.6 million at the box office and brought its total to $50 million. The film is expected to gross $60-65 million by the end of its run.
"Lone Survivor" also held up well with $7 million. The movie has already crossed the $100 million mark and should end its run with an exceptional $120 million.
In sixth place, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" continued to fail and made $5.4 million. The Chris Pine-Keira Knightley film is currently at a disastrous $38.9 million and will most likely end its run with $45-50 million.
"Labor Day" finally opened after having been delayed. The movie made an estimated $5.3 million and is unlikely to garner a bigger audience. The film was marred by bad reviews even though leading actress Kate Winslet was nominated for the Golden Globe.
A batch of Oscar nominees continued to boost their box office grosses. "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" led the way. "Hustle" scored $4.3 million and brought its total to $133 million while "The Wolf of Wall Street" made $3.5 million and now stands at $104 million.
"Gravity" dropped 1 percent and made $2 million. The Alfonso Cuaron-directed movie is currently the highest grossing Oscar nominee with $263 million.
Meanwhile, "Dallas Buyers Club" and "12 Years a Slave" continued to have a hard time finding audiences. Both films made $1.4 million. "Dallas Buyers Club" currently has a total box office of $22 million while "12 Years a Slave" has made $45 million.
