Biggest Openings

Anything strike you about this list of big openings over the past few months?



Biggest Opening Weekends -- 2014



Transformers -- $97.5 million



Captain America -- $95 million



Godzilla -- $93.1 million



Amazing Spider Man 2 -- $91.6 million



The X Men; Days of Future Past -- $90.8 million



Maleficent -- $69.4 million



The Lego Movie -- $69.0 million



22 Jump Street -- $57 million



Divergent -- $54.6 million



How To Train Your Dragon 2 -- $49.4 million


All but two of these candidates are heavy with animation. And two of the movies have nothing but animation inside them.



Tent poles with lots of animated effects are the order of the day. So there's going to be a lot of people sitting at computers making the entertainment the world craves.



Bodes well for jobs in the global marketplace, particularly jobs in geographic locales where governments are throwing money at our fine, entertainment conglomerates. (Vancouver? I'm talking about you).
