It was called Box Office report: 'Insurgent' surges to the top spot | EW.com
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
, as expected, took the top spot at this weekend’s box office, but it’s not all good news for the next entry in the YA series.
 took in an estimated $54.03 million domestically and $101 million worldwide. While that number is close to estimates (and still marks a significant opening), it is a tick below its predecessor, 
Unfortunately, the rising box office success of Shailene Woodley in the last year and expanded presence of actors like Miles Teller did little to draw more viewers for the film’s opening. But what may be even more disappointing is another factor—
 did not. These higher ticket prices and the overall on-par opening weekend suggests 
 did usurp the box office throne from last week’s ruler, 
, which held with an estimated $34.49 million in its second weekend. The live-action Disney film now stands at over an estimated $250 million worldwide total. 
The top two earners dominated the box office for the weekend, as the other new films performed far below either of them. The Sean Penn starrer 
 debuted with only $5.01 million, splitting the action film audience with 
. The Liam Neeson geri-action film took in an estimated $5.12 million over the weekend, narrowly beating out its competitor in estimates.
, opened with $4 million. Last year, Pure Flix opened another religion-focused film, 
 surprisingly took in over $9 million in its opening, but it seems 
 was not able to match Pure Flix’s last Lenten release. That cume earns it the No. 6 spot below 
, which maintains a spot in the top five in its sixth weekend.
Here’s how the top five played out according to weekend estimates:
In smaller release news, the Al Pacino film 
 opened to an estimated total of about $73,200 from five locations, while 
 at 32 locations earned an estimated about $352,000.
