Brad Pitt's 'Fury' is king of the box office: 'Gone Girl' sitting at second place

Brad Pitt's latest film, Fury, is performing well at the box office after its first weekend. The film launched straight to the top of the list, kicking Ben Affleck's Gone Girl to second place as it grossed $23.5 million.

It's not surprising that Fury knocked Gone Girl from the top of the list; it's surprising than the Ben Affleck thriller managed to stay on top for a full two weeks. We're not saying Gone Girl is a bad movie; we just did not believe it had the legs to keep on top for so long.

Gone Girl's overall gross at the box office now stands at $107.1 million. Interestingly enough, Gone Girl is not too far from surpassing "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" gross of $127.5 million, another film by David Fincher.
