It was a parting of the ways at the top as "Exodus: Gods and Kings" takes over the box office over the weekend. "Mockingjay" parted ways after three weeks on top.
|
|
Many films get released each year and only a select few are Oscar-worthy. And only one became the Best Picture. However, many more are eligible.
