Warner Bros.' "American Sniper" leads the charge worldwide adding another $81.965 million in 27 territories as it nears the $250 million total mark globally. In the second spot on the global box office chart is Warner Bros.' "Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" with $57.055 million this weekend in 62 territories as it impressively gets within a Hobbit's throw of $900 million total worldwide. In North America, "American Sniper" continues to impress as it adds another $64.6 million in its second weekend of wide release, crossing the $200 million mark after just 10 days in over 3,500 theaters. In second place, Jennifer Lopez amps up the R-rated fun in Universal's suspense thriller "The Boy Next Door" with $14.9 million in its debut. In DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales and rentals action, director David Fincher's "Gone Girl" from Fox leads sales while getting a boost from Oscar attention and a much talked about chilling performance from Best Actress nominee Rosamund Pike. On the rentals side of the ledger, Sony's "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington continues to pummel audiences into submission with its R-rated intensity. Movies on Demand boasts two very different movies at the top of the chart.
