Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Although the film fell to second place in its second and third weekends, behind "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", the film was number one in its fourth, fifth, and sixth weekend. By doing so, it became the first film in 2014 to top the domestic box office in non-consecutive weeks, the first film of the summer (May–August) to be the number one film in three weekends and the first MCU film to be the top film for four weeks, surpassing "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "The Avengers", both of which were number one for three weeks, and tied "The Dark Knight" for the most weeks at number one among comic book-based films. Phil Contrino, vice president and chief analyst of "BoxOffice.com" felt "Guardians" success was "unconventional" and was "shattering expectations". The film remained in the top 10 for ten weekends.
