Behind the Friday Box Office: 4/18/14
Seasonal Note: Good Friday is traditionally a strong day for moviegoing, which explains the generally solid Friday-to-Friday holds below.

OPENINGS: HEAVEN IS FOR REAL (TriStar/Sony) is impressively overperforming, its $7.9M Friday added to $7M from Wednesday and Thursday for a [...]

On Friday, Heaven pulled in a reported $8M (on top of $7M from Wednesday and Thursday), and although [...]

Some shows said farewell to their seasons more effectively than others. ABC: SCANDAL had its biggest season finale to date, up 0.4 from last week to 3.4 and (with Big Bang Theory in reruns) easily the highest-rated show of the night.
