LEGO Movie

For the third weekend in a row, 'The LEGO Movie' effortlessly held onto the number one spot at the box office, cutting down all of the newbies that showed up to dethrone it. Don't cry to hard for '3 Days to Kill,' but feel free to wince a'plenty for 'Pompeii.'

When 'RoboCop' got pushed from an August 2013 release date to February 2014, everyone assumed it would open stronger when far away from the busy summer months. If this is the better of the two options, then we can't even imagine how poorly it would have opened in the warmer months. The remake of the 1987 classic is definitely not a disaster, but it most certainly underperformed.

And here we are: five weeks into the new year and we already have our first major blockbuster of 2014. Early estimates had 'The LEGO Movie' opening big, but the animated adventure shattered all expectations this weekend, with universally positive reviews and word of mouth sending the film to a massive opening.

After a somewhat slow start to the moviegoing year, this weekend features three big-time pictures hitting theaters, with something for all ages.

Warner Bros. have been chasing Marvel's lead for a while now, and though they had great success with Batman, and more recently with 'Man of Steel,' they are seemingly jealous of 'The Avengers.' Well, it looks like they'll finally assemble their Justice League. But only in LEGO form.
