BOX OFFICE REPORT (MAY 23-25): 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Makes Adam Sandler's Career a Distant Memory

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past (N)
Weekend gross: $91.4 million / Total domestic gross: $91.4 million / 
Percent drop: NA
Here's a question for you time travel experts out there: If X-Men: Days of Future Past's opening weekend trails only X-Men: The Last Stand's opening weekend performance among X-Men movies, but (SPOILER) Days of Future Past's plot made it so The Last Stand never happened, can Days of Future Past now claim the best ever opening weekend for an X-Men movie?

No matter what the answer to that question, X-Men: Days of Future Past had a great weekend. It's $91.4 million opening mark trails only Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Godzilla when it comes to 2014's best starts. The movie is a huge critical hit, with many people calling it the best X-Men movie ever. And Days of Future Past reversed a sliding trend the franchise was seeing at the box with X-Men First Class and The Wolverine opening to $55.1 million and $53.1 million, respectively. Let's see if X-Men: Apocalypse can keep things moving in the right direction in two years.

2. Godzilla (1st)

Weekend gross: $31.1 million / Total domestic gross: $148.5 million / 
Percent drop: 66.6
In its second weekend, Godzilla brought in $31.1 million. After Memorial Day on Monday, the remake will have passed the $150 million mark. When it comes to 2014's biggest opening weekends, Godzilla's 66.6 percent second-weekend drop was worse than Captain America: The Winter Soldier's 56.6 percent second-weekend drop. Of course, Captain America: The Winter Soldier held onto the top spot at the box office for three weekends and didn't have an X-Men sequel to content with.

3. Blended (N)

Weekend gross: $14.2 million / Total domestic gross: $14.2 million / 
Percent drop: 52.7
Turn off the lights on Adam Sandler's career. It's over. America's figured out that Sandler isn't interested in making quality movies. Heck, he's not even interested in making movies that have the slightest bit of respect for their audiences. Sandler recently confirmed that his movies are just vacations for himself, so it's only fair that moviegoers also spent their holiday weekend doing something better than seeing Blended.

4. Neighbors (2nd)

Weekend gross: $13.9 million / Total domestic gross: $113.6 million / 
Percent drop: 44.6
Neighbors continued to perform strongly, rolling past the $100 million mark. The movie just barely missed trumping Blended this weekend.

5. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (3rd)

Weekend gross: $7.8 million / Total domestic gross: $184.9 million / 
Percent drop: 53.6

In our weekly comparison of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to other entries in the Spider-Man franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 still trails its cinematic brothers when it comes to their grosses through four weekends. It's actually not even close anymore. The original three Spider-Man movies had all passed $300 million by their fourth weekend, and even The Amazing Spider-Man had passed $200 million at that point. I don't know how Sony expects to build a cinematic universe through Spider-Man when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is performing like this.

Next week's predictions

1. X-Men: Days of Future Past

2. Maleficent

3. Godzilla

4. A Million Ways to Die in the West
