This weekend nerd and geek cinema kicked off it's two week takeover with three brand spanking new movies. The competition is going to be fierce and brutal, so some are bound to get buried. Let's take a look at the results.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse made $35,400,000 making it the champion of not just nerd and geek movies, but the box office overall.
Ralph Breaks the Internet gained the fourth spot for the weekend, adding $9,589,000 to its four week total.
Mortal Engines was the victim of this vicious battle raking in only $7,501,000 in its first weekend. The movie is a passion project of Peter Jackson reuniting him with Lord Of The Rings star Hugo Weaving.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald did a solid 5th week making $3,650,000.
Once Upon a Deadpool may be considered a disappointment with only $2,600,000 in its first week, but with it being a re-edit this is nothing but profit.
Next weekend the competition gets even more ruthless with Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Mary Poppins Returns joining the fray.
Please post your reviews of any of these movies in the comments. What movies should we all rush to?

Karen Gillan is out promoting The Party's Just Beginning that she is the director, writer, and star of.
The movie is available on Amazon Prime now, but what we want to talk about are her words about part three of Guardians of the Galaxy.
In a recent interview with People magazine she talked about her role as Nebula and the future of the series without James Gunn.
“Our director won’t be with us any longer but we are excited to continue the Guardians of the Galaxy story and keep delivering to the fans. That’s the most important thing. I don’t have any details as to when [the next Guardians film will come out] but there’s a script in existence.”
There is no way James Gunn is coming back, so who do you think can save the Guardians Of The Galaxy?
