The latest Johnny Depp release arrives still-born. Meantime, far off the chart, Big Hero 6 remains in several hundred theaters ($217 million domestic total) and Penguins of Madagascar occupies a few hundred screens, ($81 million total).

But let's be real, both movies are over theatrically and poised to step into the world of little silver disks. Last week they were both making the same money on a per screen basis, sort of interesting considering Penguins launched weeks after Big Hero.

No bold face for Strange Magic? Very enjoyable and lovely film amid rampant slings and arrows--'twas not made for such contempt.
