Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Movie,” released in the first week of February, is close behind at nearly $258 million. The other eight movies in the ranking are all summer movies that have only been released after May 1.
Number three on the list is “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” with about $243 million in gross receipts since its release on June 27. Buena Vista’s “Maleficent” has brought in more than $236 million since its late May release, and number five, “X-Men: Days of Future Past” has taken in more than $232 million since its May 23 release.

The second-highest opening weekend went to “Guardians of the Galaxy” with $94 million, and “Godzilla” claimed third place with $93 million on its opening weekend.
None of the top 10 is likely to be dislodged by this week’s releases, which are topped by the third installment of “The Expendables” franchise from Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: LGF).
