ELYSIUM Tops The Weekend Box Office


In a weekend packed with plenty of new movie options, it was Matt Damon's Elysium that ultimately rose above the rest.
The sci-fi drama beat out the competition, but not by as big of a margin as you'd expect. Elysium brought in a respectable $30 million but the Jennifer Aniston/Jason Sudeikis comedy, We're The Millers, which had not so great reviews, was right on its tails with $26 million.
Even more amazing, Disney's Planes managed to bring home $22 million, and the universally panned Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, $14 million. 
Notably, for the first time, in a while, the top four movies were all first week premieres. Last week's 2 Guns rounded out the top 5 with $11 million.
Click through for the complete list of this weekend's top 10 at the box office.
  1. Elysium, $30.4 million
  2. We're The Millers, $26.5 million
  3. Planes, $22.5 million
  4. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, $14.6 million
  5. 2 Guns, $11 million                                                                                                                                       Still wondering why World War Z didn't make the list........
