Final Thoughts:
With the Box Office Estimates in it's yet another bit of a shock  Teenage Ninja Turtles finished first once again with $28,400,000. Guardians of the Galaxy made an estimated $24,735,000 to finish #2 but in my opinion is a much better movie that the numbers are showing. This should be 3 weeks at number 1 not 2 weeks at #2 but I digress. Coming in 3rd Let's Be Cops making $17,700,000. In a bit of surprise Expendables 3 made $16,200,000 finishing 4th ahead of #5 finisher The Giver $12,760,000. I am hearing the movie is GREAT but Taylor Swift is turning off movie goers who are seeing it. 



This week's Mark at the Movies might be one of the BEST I've seen in the history of the show. Not because the movies reviewed this week would blow people away because based on the numbers that never happened, however the very moving tribute to the late Robin Williams moved me to tears.



What might be the first time in the history of the show the Opening Insult was dropped and Mark and crew opened with a nice round of applause for Robin Williams. Later Mark and crew would give Robin proper send off with clips of interviews Mark over the years and as the credits ended they panned to an autographed picture on the wall. 



The movies talked about this week on the show lead off by Sean Evans from Back to the Movies, in the Retro Reel Review were Ninja Turtles and Mark talked about Guardians of the Galaxy as well. 



Daniel Radcliffe joined to talk about his new movie What If via satellite and he talked about his love for Fools Gold Sandwiches which have peanut butter, jelly, bacon and more in it. (I'll pass) 



Then they talked about Let's Be Cops and seemed to be split on liking and not liking. 



Mark and Rachel are the only 2 that liked Expendables in fact Lexy who did awesome this week hated it and Brian refuses to see it. 



Everyone enjoyed The Giver with Jeff Bridges however Brian had not seen it as of yet. 



Then my favorite part of the show took place with the tribute that brought tears to my eyes when Mark and Crew remembered Robin Williams.



May you rest in peace forever.
