Guardians of the Galaxy tops box office for fourth weekend

Los Angeles - Guardians of the Galaxy continues to rule the box office universe.

The cosmic Marvel adventure arrived in first place at the box office for a fourth weekend with $10.2m, according to studio estimates on Sunday. The domestic haul for Guardians, which features Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana as intergalactic do-gooders, now stands at $294.6m after six weeks of release.

Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sliced off second place in its fifth weekend with $6.5m, bringing the domestic total of the live-action superhero reboot starring Megan Fox and Will Arnett to $174.6m.

The Warner Bros young-adult novel adaptation If I Stay, starring Chloe Grace Moretz, took third place in its third weekend with $5.7m.

The weekend's only new release, Freestyle's musical drama The Identical, dismally debuted in 11th place with $1.9m. The film starring Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd failed to achieve the successes of similar faith-based films as Heaven Is for Real, God's Not Dead and Son of God released earlier this year.
