Weekend Box Office: Captain America Holds At Number One, Transcendence Tanks

Captain America continued his heroic run this weekend. The Winter Soldier held on to number one for a third weekend in a row, adding $26 million to its domestic total and pushing past the $200 million mark. Rio 2 also held strong, continuing in second place with $22 million, just edging out the new competition.

Of the four new wide releases opening Easter weekend, Heaven is for Real came out on top, landing at third place with $21 million. That was significantly better than the lukewarm reception Johnny Depp's latest movie enjoyed. Transcendence only earned $11 million against its $100 million budget. With less than $30 million in international sales to date, it's on track to the be the fourth Depp film in a row to struggle at the box office.

A Haunted House 2 opened at fifth place with $9 million. While that's only half what it's predecessor banked on its opening weekend last year, it's still a solid profit thanks to the movie's tiny $4 million budget.

Disney's almost perennial Earth Day documentary, Bears, arrived this weekend, but with just $4 million it had the worst opening of the nature series to date and missed the top ten, banking a close eleventh place. The documentaries have never been blockbusters, and it may see a boost during the next week thanks to school trips and Earth Day activities to bring it on par with past entries.
