The Maze Runner sprinted to the front of the pack with one of the biggest September debuts ever; add in strong international sales, and a new young-adult franchise was born this weekend.Meanwhile, A Walk Among the Tombstones and This is Where I Leave You fell short of modest expectations.Playing at 3,604 theaters, The Maze Runner opened to $32.5 million this weekend. That's nowhere close to Divergent, though it is bigger than Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief ($31.2 million) and Ender's Game ($27 million).What separates The Maze Runner from those comparisons is its relatively modest budget*it cost just $34 million, or less than half of those movies*and its strong international prospects. Full international details can be found below in the Around-the-World Roundup.As is always the case with young-adult adaptations, The Maze Runner's success can be attributed in part to the strong fanbase that's developed around author James Dashner's book series.

Calling all Movie Geek Dads! As we head into the weekend, collect your minions for some great BBQ, a movie, a baseball game and have a Despicable Father’s Day!
Now that the ever-entrepreneurial Gru has left behind a life of super crime to raise Margo (Miranda Cosgrove of television’s iCarly), Edith (Dana Gaier of Bullied) and Agnes (Elsie Fisher of television’s Masha and the Bear), Gru, Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand of Get Him to the Greek, Hop) and the Minions have some free time on their hands.

'A voyage on the 'Dawn Treader' is a trip hardly worth taking,' Claudia Puig of USA Today writes.

The winner of the award for the 2010 major theatrical release with the longest title goes to "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." It wasn't even close.
Sorry, "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief"! Try again next year, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1." Simply embarrassing, "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole." If only there were some correlation between title size and critical consensus: the longer the title, the better the reviews.
Alas, that's simply not the case. While "Deathly Hallows" wowed most critics, those scribes were less impressed with "Percy Jackson," "Legend of the Guardians" and "Dawn Treader," which...
