1. Thor: The Dark World- $38.4M/$146.9M
Thor: The Dark World slipped 55% in its second full week of release, which is about average for Marvel's stable of flicks. Not that anybody really cares because its $479M haul has already surpassed the entire $449M run of 2011's Thor. In other words, there will be a third (and likely final) film, and Marvel continues to see an incredible box office surge post-The Avengers.
2. The Best Man Holiday- $30.5M
Some are going to label The Best Man Holiday's huge $30.5M opening as a "surprise", but it isn't to those who are perhaps more in-tune with fans of its 1999 predecessor. Last year's Think Like a Man woke Hollywood up to the fact that African Americans really do go to the movies, and not just for the latest Tyler Perry film. And what's more, they'll turn out in droves for movies that treat them with respect. Such is the case with 'Holiday', which brings back all of its principle cast for a reunion fourteen years in the making, and has the benefit of being both a holiday movie and an anticipated event movie. Expect it to have long legs, lasting through Thanksgiving and possibly into Christmas.

4. Free Birds- $8.3M/$42.2M
5. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa- $7.6M/$90.2M
