Earning more than the rest of the field combined, Disney's Cinderella (2015) easily took the top spot at the box office this weekend.

Liam Neeson's Run All Night got off to a very slow start, while indie horror flick It Follows had a great debut in limited release.

Playing at 3,845 locations, Cinderella opened to $67.9 million. That ranks seventh all-time among March debuts. Compared to Disney's recent live-action fantasies, Cinderella's opening was roughly on par with Maleficent ($69.4 million), though it was noticeably lower than Oz The Great and Powerful ($79.1 million). It also opened well above Snow White and the Huntsman ($56.2 million).

This is all the more impressive considering Cinderella's budget was a modest $95 million, which is around half as much as the rest of those movies cost.

Cinderella's audience was 66 percent female and 66 percent families. The movie received a strong "A" CinemaScore; combine that with great reviews, and this should hold well over the next few weeks. A final total north of $200 million is virtually guaranteed at this point.

I loved how close it stayed to the original, something that has never been done with other similar movies, which ruined them for me.

Insurgent's audience was 60 percent female, which is actually a slight uptick from the first movie's 59 percent share. That's ironic, considering how much attention seemed to be paid to positioning this as an action-packed sci-fi thriller (as opposed to a young-adult romance). The movie received a solid "A-" CinemaScore, and should hold up decently in the coming weeks. A total north of $130 million seems likely.

Cinderella (2015) was off 49 percent to $35 million this weekend. That drop is in between Oz (48 percent) and Maleficent (51 percent). To date, Cinderella has grossed $122.5 million.

In its second weekend, Run All Night fell 54 percent to $5.03 million. That's a better hold than A Walk Among the Tombstones, but it's still not all that impressive. Through 10 days, the Liam Neeson action flick has earned $19.6 million.

Opening at 2,816 locations, The Gunman bombed with $5.03 million. That debut is essentially on the same level as early 2015 disasters Mortdecai ($4.2 million), Unfinished Business ($4.8 million) and Hot Tub Time Machine 2 ($5.96 million). It also opened to a fraction of last year's Taken imitator, 3 Days to Kill ($12.2 million).

This subgenre has been dying a slow death in recent years. With the Taken franchise officially over, and The Gunman bombing the way it did, maybe it's time to officially call it a day here.

With The Gunman poised to lose most of its theaters heading in to its third weekend, look it to wind up with a final total in the $10 to $12 million range.

“We have become a little bit more concerned that ‘Home’ could under-perform expectations, even though they were not overly high,” said Tuna Amobi, an analyst with S&P Capital IQ. “The company could be hard pressed to recoup its initial investment.”

If “Home” can break even or turn a profit, it will be a better showing than DreamWorks achieved on three of its four most recent films — “Mr. Peabody and Sherman,” “Turbo” and “Penguins of Madagascar” all ended up in the red. At the same time, the company’s stock was buffeted after possible sales to Hasbro and Softbank fizzled.
