Captain Phillips was the best opener for a live-action Tom Hanks movie since Angels & Demons (2009).  Even then, it was no match for Gravity, and with a mere 20.7% drop in week 2, it's on its way to being a monster hit.  Sandra Bullock is the most bankable actress in Hollywood right now. Weird that she has nothing official on her plate besides providing a voice in Minions. The Heat 2 was announced but they're nowhere near ready to film.  The 49-year-old probably has dozens of scripts to choose from right now.

Nothing else is doing that well. Machete Kills may have a low budget but it's still a dud. The first Machete movie opened to $11 million.  The latest Romeo & Juliet movie, which stars True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet, tanked in limited release.
