LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK: "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," a sequel about genetically altered apes that battle for dominance with humans, has knocked the giant "Transformers" robots from the top spot on U.S. and Canadian movie charts.
LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK: "Transformers: Age of Extinction" collected $36.4 million in ticket sales over the three-day July 4 weekend, storming ahead of new films "Tammy," "Deliver Us From Evil" and "Earth to Echo" to lead the U.S. and Canadian box office for a second consecutive weekend.
