POWER RANKINGS: Here's the movie that could overthrow Marvel for biggest hit of the summer

Business Insider/Disney

As "Captain America: Civil War" continues to be the big winner of the summer movie season, already hitting over $1 billion worldwide, the question is what surprises might knock Marvel's blockbuster off balance.

"Angry Birds" dethroning "Civil War" from the US box office was a shock to some. And with "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass" opening this weekend, it will be interesting to see what audiences go after — a thrilling comic-book adaptation or a children's fantasy. 

Here's the latest word on the popular titles of the summer and what looks primed to ascend the box office.

Proving that Sony may not be nuts making a movie about emojis, the studio's Angry Birds movie, based on the popular app, hit No. 1 at the box office, dethroning "Captain America: Civil War."

It will be interesting to see if it will hold its own throughout the summer, especially since its win the first weekend was a surprise. At the very least it will leave the summer having some bragging rights.

9. “Ghostbusters” (July 15)

The insults thrown at the all-female "Ghostbusters" continues. Social media exploded recently when a blogger vowed not to review the reboot.

We've now gotten to a point where the movie has so much venom around it that it's tough to see if it can get an honest release, as almost all press will be focused on the pre-release "news."

Hopefully the talents of director Paul Feig and the cast — Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and the rest — can silence all the bad hype when people actually see the movie.

8. “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” (May 20)

Though the movie was riding on positive reviews and an original that was a huge moneymaker, "Neighbors 2" had a soft opening weekend, making about 50% less in the US than the original.

The title could rebound through the summer, but Universal is not looking at a repeat performance of the original.
