You know that old saying? "If you build it, they will come," from Field of Dreams? That's the philosophy behind this. The fifth Die Hard is terrible. Everyone thinks it's terrible. But that isn't stopping it from making a small fortune in its opening weekend. Will it gross as much in the end as other Die Hard movies? No, but that doesn't matter. Let's just hope they won't drag Willis out again for another round.

Which of these sad actors is not involved in this movie: Brendan Fraser; Sarah Jessica Parker; Jessica Alba; Steve Zahn; William Shatner or George Lopez? Tell us the answer in the comments.
5. Warm Bodies (Summit): $11.5 million in 3,009 theaters [Week 3]
This modest little zombie romcom is still plugging away and it makes our heart beat faster. People are seeing this and liking this and that's a good thing for zombie romcom fans.
