The Great Gatsby had a moderately decent opening weekend, pulling $51m+ in ticket sales. However, that wasn't enough to take down the superhero-filled Iron Man 3. Maybe if Baz Luhrmann tapped into his feline alter-ego, Baz Purrman, and created The Great Catsby. No yarn or mice would ever be safe again! The rest of the weekend's box office numbers are below.

Somehow, the third installment of a series of exercises known as "Iron Man" topped this weekend's box office. I didn't even know exercise videos were screened in theaters, let alone suitable places for people to even exercise...

I'll keep the festivities short for this week. C2E2 was this past weekend, and my body still hasn't recovered from the sensation overload of art, comics, cosplayers, geeks, and nerds. My other self definitely had a busy weeke...

It just occurred to me that last week's special Nick Valdez-flavored Box Office Numbers lacked any actual box office numbers. Thanks, Nick; I still love you. This weekend, Tom Cruise did Tom Cruise things to help Oblivion&nbs...

In celebration of #CrimeDay, I've stolen Geofferson's Box Office Numbers post for the week. Do you know Crime Day? Inspired by Flixistentialism and The Purge, it's a special once a year event in which you get 12 hours to comm...

Somehow, a film about satanic, possessed slices of bread topped the box office this weekend. Seriously guys, how are you falling for these kinds of things? Oh, wait... Evil Dead. That makes more sense. The reboot/remake/rebir...

Greetings again, good friends! Never, ah, you fear, for your pal Jeff Goldblum is here! The-the Goldblum Publishing Conglomerate, if you remember last year, understands that you still love your movie news. And so, mmmm, well,...

Geoff's feeling under the weather so I'm filling in for Box Office Numbers this week. I've brought a festive vegetable platter, which will go mostly uneaten, stay in the fridge for another three days, and will wind up in the ...

I apologize for the lack of a Box Office Numbers last week. It had absolutely nothing to do with being in Austin, TX for SXSW (honestly). When I tried to access Rentrak, the site I use to compile every weekend's ticket sales,...

Nicholas Hoult is everywhere these days. Besides starring in this weekend's top film, Jack the Giant Slayer, he was in last month's zom-rom-com, Warm Bodies. There's something about him that looks... off to me. Maybe it's bec...

The Oscars happened last night! People won awards! Jennifer Lawrence's dress looked like a blanket! Oscar the Grouch! Box office numbers from this past weekend! ! [via Rentrak]

How was everybody's Valentine's Day? Are your tummies full of chocolate, roses, and romance? Bruce Willis' A Good Day to Die Hard topped this weekend's box office by edging out last week's top film, Identity Thief. Rounding out the Top 3 is Safe Haven. You can read the rest of this weekend's box office below. [via Rentrak]

When I become famous for doing nothing, I think all I would do is bathe in champagne. Actually, that's a damned lie; I just wanted to use this still from Identity Thief as the header. After all, the comedy starring Jason...

Warm Bodies topped the box office this past weekend by more than doubling the runner-up Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' sales. Unfortunately, while the ticket sales are super hot, the film itself was anything but. Silver Linings Playbook continued its meteoric rise, landing in third as a result. Movies were the only interesting things to happen this weekend, right? [via Rentrak]

An... "interesting" retelling of Hansel and Gretel starring Famke Janssen, Jeremy Renner, and Gemma Arterton topped the box office this weekend. How about that? Hansel and Gretel fighting witches brought in the most sales. Over Django Unchained. Over Mama. Over Parker. Just... wow. The rest of the box office numbers are below. [via Rentrak]

Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to a lead role in this weekend's The Last Stand didn't make a lot of money. While it barely placed in the Top 10, it's safe to say that the former Governator's film vehicle severely underpe...

There's a taco place in a ~hip~ neighborhood here in Chicago that serves dulce de leche milkshakes, which are in my Top Five Drinks Ever. I originally was just going to post a picture of said milkshakes, but Google directed m...

This week is my friend's birthday, and I offered to get her a piñata to celebrate. Piñatas are the greatest gift/party idea to ever be invented. If I could do 23 all over again, I'd celebrate it with a piñ...

For weeks, I've tossed around the idea of chocolate horchata and whether or not it would taste as good as it sounds. Last night, I took the first step towards the future and created a chocolate horchata concoction. It's a wor...

The Jack Reacher/reach-around joke will never get old. When I die, I hope there's a reach around pun on my tombstone, complete with a silhouette of Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Unfortunately, Tom Cruise and his reaching around...

Are you guys ready for a shocker? I'm not really into Lord of the Rings. I saw one of the films, but I honestly couldn't tell you which one it was or what it was about. The things you do for girls in high school, right? I mea...

Skyfall stole the top spot this weekend from the grasps of the vampire-filled Twlight IV: The Return of Twilight, Jr: Part 2. It's good to see a film part of such a storied franchise as James Bond can still have staying ...
