Looks like it’s time for the King of the Box Office to hand over his crown, and this time, to a Queen. Kate Upton In a Bikini, otherwise known as The Other Woman, has taken out Captain America: Winter Soldier, with an opening weekend of $24.7mil. They had pretty good reviews and since the movie probably only cost about that much to make, it’s already a hit that’s sure to garner a sequel for no real reason at all.
The rest of the Top Ten had some newcomers: The Quiet Ones, and Brick Mansions; which starred the late Paul Walker. They brought in $4mil and $9.6mil respectively, with pretty horrid reviews for them both.

Disney and Marvel have nothing to worry about though, as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens up next weekend and is sure to top the Box Office.
