Its amazing 2014 isn't further ahead in overall gross really. So a minimum of 7 and possibly 9 films over $100m excluding Lone Survivor. Very impressive!

The medium sized movies are doing bad till now. Down below

3 movies will fall in $60m-$100m (this bucket is the BIGGEST problem right now)
4 movies are in $40m-$60m range (Son of God, Robocop, Jack Ryan and About Last Night),
4 movies in $30m-$40m range.
5 movies in $20m-$30m range
6 movies in $10m-$20m range
2 movies in $5m-$10m range
5 movies in $2m-$5m range
6 movies in $1m-$2m range
57 movies less than $1m (yes few will cross this mark but I am just stating the course till end of March).

As you can see as the range goes lower there are smaller buckets and more movies. In particular the $50m-$100m range is a barren land.

yeah but it just needs to 7 which should happen with Captain America. I think Noah should get there before the end of April as well.

The first Rio crossed $100 million in its third weekend, so as long as Rio 2 follows the legs of that film it should cross the mark by the end of April.

300 marches, Divergent fights, Peabody navigates and Captain kicks $100m mark

$100 Million movies of 2014
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark
1. Ride Along - 23 - February 8
2. The LEGO Movie - 9 - February 15
3. 300: Rise of an Empire - 24 - March 30
4. Divergent - 14 - April 3
5. Mr. Peabody and Sherman - 30 - April 5
6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 4 - April 7

Four movies join the list at the difference of 2-3 days to each other.

300: Rise of an Empire marches again to $100m mark in 24 days, quite far from the original.

Divergent fights off the system to reach $100m in 14 days thanks to a very good opening.

Mr. Peabody and Sherman navigates history reaching the mark in 30 days, took very long but it did get good legs.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier misses the opening equal to this mark getting there in 4 days.

Upcoming movies in this list Noah Rio 2, Transcendence

2014 is already at a record-breaking pace (with a lock to release this weekend) and well ahead of 2013 which had 3 movies above this mark for the whole of April. Let's see if this could turn out to be great summer and this list grows HUGE by end of it.

Noah and Rio 2 both should cross this mark before May to get the record otherwise 2013 will end up with close but no cigars. I think Rio 2 is looking at a bigger opening than last movie which could result in getting $100m quicker than the first movie.

While I do believe Noah will be pushed past this mark its not certain yet. Rio 2 should get there but it might not reach the mark by end of April as well, 2014 could still end-up tying 6 movies before May with 2012.

Noah and Rio will get there in May.

Noah is out. It would need much better drops, which is not going to happen. Plus it will lose theaters now.

Noah will be pushed eventually to $100m I believe if it gets past $97m which it should do.

Rio 2 essentially opened to Rio's numbers and still has Easter weekend coming up. I know its weekend IM was really off but the first was released on 15th so this one has extra 4 days to get past the $100m mark which includes an extra Sunday compared to the last movie.

Looks like Rio 2 will give this list a shot. If it gets past $97m this weekend (with about $14m weekend, very much doable) then the next three days would get it past $100m before May 1st.

As expected Noah did well over Easter weekend. It needs $7m of a $5m weekend, it should get past $100m in the end unless it plummets more than 70% this weekend.

Going to be a slog for Noah.

What is Paramount's next movie though? Transformers?

They have nothing better to do, might as well track it to death.

Heaven is for Real could be a dark horse for $100 million now. It'll be over $50 million at the end of this weekend, and it should be solid counterprogramming to the major blockbusters over the coming month. I also imagine Mother's Day will be very kind to it.

If Noah holds well this weekend then it could easily reach the mark. If it gets close to $3m this weekend then it should close to $98m on a $2m+ weekend.

Yes the next movie for Paramount is Transformers after which they have Hercules and TMNT in the coming months. I think its still time to get the hype up for Transformers because it shouldn't peak too early.

Rio 2 flies steady to reach $100m mark

$100 Million movies of 2014
Rank - Movie - Number of days to reach the mark - Date on which they reached the mark

5. Mr. Peabody and Sherman - 30 - April 5
6. Captain America: The Winter Soldier - 4 - April 7
7. Rio 2 - 22 - May 2nd

Rio 2 flies steady to reach $100m mark in 22 days. Its pacing well behind the original though its the lack of competition that's helping its legs. It also missed the mark by 2 days to give the record to 2014 of most $100m movies before Summer.

Upcoming movies in this list The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Noah

2014 continues its record pace in the list with two more movies about to reach this mark soon. We are most likely going to have atleast one movie from each weekend of May to get to this mark.

I don't know if 2014 will break the record. I only see 1 movie in July hitting the mark and maybe 2 in August.....that's pretty crappy end to the summer.

July is generally so huge thanks to huge weekdays we might we might get a few movies above the mark.

The potential candidates are (in order of my personal preference)
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Tammy
Planes
Hercules
Sex Tape
Jupiter Ascending

I am almost sure that Jupiter will miss it but all of the rest could get in specially Tammy and Planes. Tammy cause McCarthy is coming off great hits and Planes because of lack of competition.

Spidey slugs still gets $100m mark quickly

8. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - 5 - May 6

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 slugs from previous records of the franchise still spins the web quickly for $100m mark in just 5 days.

Upcoming movies in this list Noah, Neighbors

2014 has been fairly predictable and added an additional movie from candidates. Upcoming weekend will tell more if Neighbors will be the second movie from candidates that gets into the list.

We're going to be seeing that posted a lot in the coming months.

If Heaven is for Real continues to have these holds for another week or two we might have to consider it in this list though its quite far right now and has a very slim chance.

Noah has another $200K to go so I believe it should make this list next weekend....hopefully.

Noah finds no wind for its smooth sail but limps to shores of $100m

Upcoming movies in this list Neighbors, Godzilla

2014 is doing great in this list locking up second movie from candidates list. Godzilla most likely won't be able to populate this list after this weekend. It will be an interesting race for 10 the spot between that and Neighbors.

Wow. Noah must have been closer than I thought.

Godzilla roars, Neighbors rock and X-Men travels past $100m

Godzilla (2014) roars to a great opening and gets past this mark in just 4 days.

Neighbors rock while fighting bad to get $100m worth of laughs in 15 days.

X-Men: Days of Future Past falls from franchise's previous records but still open big to get past this mark in 4 days.

Upcoming movies in this list Maleficent, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Leaving quietly from the list is Million Dollar Arm, Blended

2014 is still leading but it needs more breakouts from candidates to get close to 35 movies mark set by last year.

Maleficent should get to this list soon whereas Million Ways bows out of contention.
