CAPTAIN AMERICA holds off GODZILLA to remain 2014's Biggest Weekend Opener

Despite reports this weekend that WB's King of the Monsters would have dethroned Captain America: The Winter Sodier's opening numbers, the Super Soldier comes out still king of 2014.

Earlier reports on Friday suggested that Warner Bros.' Godzilla was going to earn $98 to maybe even $100 million at the U.S. box office, which would easily made it 2014's biggest opener.  

But when the dust settled Monday for the actual box office numbers, Godzilla earned $93.1 million, a massive haul considering initial estimates a month ago were projected at $75 - $80 million.

That still leaves Captain America: The Winter Soldier at $95.0 as 2014's biggest opener thus far.

Now all Cap has to do is watch out for Fox's X-Men Days of Future Past opening this Memorial Day weekend.

Jollem is reminding of those political campaigns where a candidate argues with a hired strawman actor to express his pedantic point of views through a unconvincing attempt at simulating a natural conversation.

Who cares? Why is it such a big deal if Godzilla passes Cap? Marvel fanboys need to have a Marvel film #1 or they cry. "Nooo Godzilla didn't beat Cap waaaahhh" don't get me wrong i love Marvel films and what they are doing but c'mon this is getting a little childish

Kinda disappointed, I loved Cap but as a Godzilla fan, I want the movie to shit on everything else in theaters. And Pacific Rim getting beaten by Grown Ups 2 did not make me so confident

You know Josh Wilding is mad about this. Haha! I'm still pissed about Meh-zilla being a disappointing movie. Good thing DOFP comes out this week.
