“Foxcatcher” is the latest awards hopeful to make a splash in its debut at the specialty box office.
The Fox Searchlight drama starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo opened in six theaters and brought in $288,113 this weekend for an impressive $48,019 per-screen average.
That's the fourth-best limited opening of the year, behind “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Boyhood” and “Birdman,” and a little ahead of last weekend's opening of Focus Features’ film about Stephen Hawking, “The Theory of Everything.” The ro

The box office may have been a little dumber this weekend, but it also made a ton of money.
In at number 1 is Dumb and Dumber To (read our review) with $38 million. That’s more than double what the first Dumb and Dumber earned at the box office back in 1994, and is the highest debut for a Farrelly Brothers picture.
Although some thought that the huge gap between releases and the dwindling fanbase might do the film in, Dumb and Dumber To performed more than admirably. Let the talk of a third film begin.
Big Hero 6 is the number 2 film with $36 million.

Stark. Cold. Lonely. This is the kind of world that Bennett Miller created for Foxcatcher, starring Steve Carell and Channing Tatum. The film follows the true story relationship between wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum) and his multi-millionaire sponsor John du Pont (Carell), as they train for the 1988 games in Seoul. Mark Ruffalo co-stars as Mark’s brother Dave Schultz, who is also a champion wrestler. Foxcatcher begins abruptly, introducing us to Tatum’s burly and bull-like Mark.
