12.Godzilla: $525million Studio: warner bros Release date: May 16 2014 Estimated budget: $160million It is unsurprising the movie performed well despite lukewarm reviews.

6. The Amazing Spider man 2: $709million Studio: sony/ columbia Release date: may 2, 2014 Estimated budget: $200million The latest installment in the revamped spider man franchise might have performed well with a seemingly impressive $91.6million opening weekend but giving spidey's brand recognition and hype for the sequel, it probably should have been the first $100million opening of the year. The opening weekend was the worst as compared with any of the original Spider man franchise and overall its the worst performing movie of the five. Reviewers weren't particularly taken by the over-bloated installment as critics generally noted that the film focused more on building its franchise than on story telling. The movie was by no means a failure but it was a box office disappointment putting the future of the franchise at sony in question

2. Guardians of the galaxy:$772.3million Studio: Buena vista Release date: August 1,2014 Estimated budget:$170million This one was a gamble for marvel as no one knew whether fans would go out to see an adaptation of an obscure comic. However 2014 has been the year of chris patt. The parks and recs star and a soundtrack carefully selected by the films director james gunn helped make the film a huge success. The film opened one of the largest of the summer ($92.3million). Additionally it received praise from critics for its mix of humor,action,science fiction and heart. A sequel is already in work and it is set for release on may 5 2017.
