What critics said: "It was the palpable realness of the violence in 'The Passion of the Christ,' the image of flesh transformed into meat, that gave the film not only its reason for being, but also its only point of cinematic interest. What remains now of the film is just blunt-force dramatics and kitsch." — Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Adjusted opening: $317,000

Original opening: $263,941

Number of theaters: 1,007

What critics said: "'Transylmania' is such a colossal comedic misfire that it makes the execrable 'Scary Movie' films look like masterworks of Preston Sturges-esque genius by comparison." — Steven Hyden, A.V. Club

Description: "Stoked over the smokin’ Romanian hottie he’s meet online, an über-randy college student talks his dimwitted friends into joining him for a semester of beer, babes and bongs at what they think is a prestigious Transylvanian university. What they discover instead is a creepy castle populated by a torture-loving mad scientist, an overcybersexed humpback, the nubile spirit of a decomposed sorceress and a bevy of horny vampire chicks that have finally found a student body they can really sink their fangs into."

Adjusted opening: $236,400

Original opening: $227,354

Number of theaters: 615

Adjusted domestic gross: $334,700

What critics said: "'The Bounce Back' parses on a moist sensitive “human” level, but you watch it thinking: There’s a reason why Tracy and Hepburn movies never hinged on therapy, and didn’t feature actors whose exteriors looked a lot more exciting than their inner lives." — Owen Gleiberman, Variety

Description: "Everyone loves self-help guru Matthew Taylor's (Shemar Moore) new bestselling book on romance, 'The Bounce Back.' Everyone, that is, but psychologist Kristin Peralta (Nadine Velazquez). When she and Matthew spar on numerous TV talk shows about his quick-fix approach to mending broken hearts, though, their chemistry is obvious. The question is – can true love conquer philosophical differences?"

Once close, a devastating tragedy creates a deep divide between them that alters their relationship and futures. In the wake of the tragedy, Ralphi finds himself haunted by regret and guilt and attempts to flee his past, leaving behind everything he’s ever known including his brother, the girl he loves, and his culture."

What critics said: "It’s a black hole — something that sucks talent, taste, light, energy and matter into maw and leaves everything stranded in a void." — David Fear, Rolling Stone

Description: "'London Fields' invites the audience to play the voyeur, to be a fly on the wall in the life of Nicola Six (Amber Heard), a world-weary clairvoyant femme fatale who is waiting to be murdered. Nicola knows death will come for her on her birthday, and she knows it will be at the hands of one of her lovers… but which one?"

What critics said: "It seems more like an hour-and-a-half-long infomercial for America than a narrative film or documentary. Like something you might hallucinate on Flag Day." — Emma Rose Johnson, Boston Globe
