RYAN: As expected, the new "Angels & Demons" took the top spot at the B.O. this weekend.

CAROLINE: It's the order of things with summer blockbusters. Every new weekend, the newest one opens huge.

RYAN: When "The Da Vinci Code" opened, it made $77 million, but it was a more popular book and had a lot of controversy surrounding it.

CAROLINE: And we all know there's no such thing as bad press. The "Angels & Demons" worldwide take was over $150 million which made up for the cost of the film - $125 mill.

RYAN: I'm sure it will stick in theaters for a while. I think word of mouth will be good.

CAROLINE: Meanwhile, "Star Trek" has already made a total of $146 million and "Wolverine" has taken $151 million.

RYAN: Clearly, "Star Trek" will do better overall.

CAROLINE: Jennifer Aniston is out in a new Indie called "Management" but it didn't even break the top ten! Brangelina must be doing a hoedown.

RYAN: It's technically her worst-performing movie of any kind since 2005's "Rumor Has It."

CAROLINE: So as long as you're not Jeni Ani, it's a pretty good time to come out with a new movie.
