WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:The Other Woman tops the chart with 24.7 million, although its Fri-Sun multiplier, 25 percent Tomatometer, and B+ Cinemascore suggest it's no Bridesmaids.That leaves Captain America: The Winter Soldier in second with 16 million.  Cap thus fails to become the first film to fourpeat domestically since The Hunger Games. OTOH, Cap's 645 million in worldwide grosses already surpasses Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World in the Marvel sequel sweepstakes. Heaven Is Real shows with 13.8 million; its 39 percent drop isn't bad when you consider it was the number one movie on Easter Sunday and it has earned 51.9 million against a 12 million production budget.  Rio 2 takes a similar drop to the fourth slot with 13.7 million; its 96 million domestic total slightly trails the orignal's 104 million over the same timeframe.  The debut of Brick Mansions rounds out the Top 5 with 9.6 million, given the poor reviews and the inherent problems in advertising the late Paul Walker, this is probably not too bad.  Below the fold, Transcendence looks like a bomb on a 62 percent drop from a poor opening.  The Quiet Ones debuted in seventh place with 4 million and a per screen average that suggests flop unless its unreported budget was under one million.
