Weekend Box-Office: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Falls Short of Breaking Record

Although it managed to storm the box-office and had no problem securing the top spot, the sequel "Avengers: Age of Ultron" failed to break any records and even fell short of its predecessor's opening weekend.

Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.

In Theaters: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD, WELCOME TO ME, HYENA

The only wide release this week is Marvel's sequel "Avengers: Age of Ultron". And it makes perfect sense because no other studio would want to compete against that behemoth at the box-office. Still, the limited releases this week are very interesting. The best reviewed film this week is the Thomas Hardy adaptation "Far From the Madding Crowd" starring Carey Mulligan and Matthias Schoenaerts. Other solid limited releases are the dramedy "Welcome to Me" which delivers a riveting performance by Kristen Wiig, and the British crime drama "Hyena". More about each movie after the jump.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.

WELCOME TO ME Trailer, Clips and Posters

Today we have a trailer, three clips and two posters for the dramedy "Welcome to Me". The film stars Kristen Wiig as a young woman with Borderline Personality Disorder who wins the Mega-Millions lottery and immediately quits her psychiatric meds and buys her own talk show. While the film itself has received mostly mixed reviews, there is nothing mixed about what critics are saying about Wiig's performance which pretty much holds the movie together. Directed by Shira Piven from a script by Eliot Laurence, the film also stars Wes Bentley, James Marsden, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Linda Cardellini.

"Welcome to Me" begins a limited run in theaters today.
