The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water debuted with an estimated $56 million this past weekend. That knocked the previous three weekend champ American Sniper from the top spot, which added an estimated $24.2 million to its total bringing it to $282.3 million.

The much-advertised Jupiter Ascending didn’t ascend too high, and earned a disappointing $19 million, not shocking based on the bad word of mouth leading into it.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies earned $762,000 bringing its total to $252.9 million. Big Hero 6 continued to earn bringing in an additional $355,00 bringing its total to $218.5 million.

Next weekend sees the first “comic adaptation” of the year hit theaters with The Kingsman.
