Guardians of the Galaxy Remains No. 1 at Weekend Box Office

Guardians of the Galaxy remained box office champ in what turned out to be the lowest-grossing weekend of the year.

Marvel's sci-fi action comedy -- now in its sixth week of release -- finished the weekend at No. 1 with an estimated $10.2 million. Its domestic total to date now stands at $294.6 million and a worldwide cume of $586.2 million.

The weekend's only major new release was the Elvis-themed, faith-based drama The Identical, which earned blistering reviews and a measly 11th debut of $1.9 million. The Hollywood Reporter says The Identical "could suffer one of the worst openings of all time for a wide release." The movie is said to have cost $16 million to produce.

Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:

1. Guardians of the Galaxy $10.2 million

2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles $6.5 million

3. If I Stay $5.8 million

4. Let's Be Cops $5.4 million

5. The November Man $4.2 million

6. As Above/So Below $3.7 million

7. When The Game Stands Tall $3.7 million

8. The Giver $3.6 million

9. The Hundred-Foot Journey $3.2 million

10. Lucy $1.9 million
