Riding high on critical acclaim, ubiquitous marketing and an inescapably infectious song, "The LEGO Movie" built a $69.1 million debut over the weekend. The enthusiastic and fast-moving animated tale had the second-biggest February opening ever, behind only "The Passion of the Christ," which debuted with $83.8 million in 2004.

While Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Ferrell and the rest of "The LEGO Movie" cast enjoyed a weekend that could easily be defined by their movie's tune, everything was not awesome for The Young Adult franchise hopeful stalled with just $4.1 million, joining the likes of "The Mortal Instruments" and "I Am Number Four" in proving just how hard it is to launch the next "Hunger Games."

George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" fared better, opening at a distant #2 behind "The LEGO Movie" with a nevertheless respectable $22.7 million. Clooney directed, produced, co-wrote and starred in the World War II dramedy, which co-stars Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman and MTV's Sexiest Man Alive, Bill Murray. Film critics didn't warm to "The Monuments Men," however: It sat at a "rotten" 34 percent on Rotten Tomatoes on Monday morning (February 10). By comparison, "The LEGO Movie" was a very "fresh" 95 percent, with an "A" CinemaScore from audiences, too.

Triple-weekend-winner "Ride Along" slipped to #3 with $9.4 million, making it the first release of the year to cross the $100 million mark. The action-comedy's $105.2 million domestic take makes "Ride Along" the biggest starring vehicle for both Ice Cube and onetime MTV Video Music Awards host Kevin Hart, whose latest ...

The stakes were high, the nerves were higher and Demi Lovato promised nothing short of a 
 show when she kicked off her Neon Lights Tour in Vancouver, British Columbia on Sunday night.

And, from the sound of it, she delivered. The singer, hitting the road for the fist time since 2012, gave fans a running account of how she was feeling before, during and after the opening-night gig, making it sound like she overcame the jitters and gave Lovatics exactly what they were hoping for.

Here's the countdown to Sunday's show:

Sneak Peek
On Saturday night, Demi posted a picture of an empty arena to get fans pumped up for the gig.

Seriously Sweating The Details
It was either a good sign, or a bad omen when Demi tweeted that the top of her deodorant broke off just a few hours before show time.

A Hand For Her Girls
You know who's super excited about the opening act? Demi!

I Can't Hear You
Just minutes before hitting the stage, Demi shook out the last of her stress and asked fans to scream so loud she could hear it in the dressing room.

Show Time!
Two hours later, Demi was back in her dressing room, no doubt pumped up about getting the first gig out of the way and psyched to get to the next one.

It was the night that changed America, and music, forever. February 9, 1964 was when the Beatles made their debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show," helping to set off a frenzy that would catapult the four Liverpool lads to global stardom and an untouchable place in rock and roll history.

That legacy was celebrated on Sunday night in the prime-time special, 
 with performances of some of the band's legendary hits by a handful of today's biggest stars, as well as mini-sets from surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and a rare on-stage collaboration between the band's iconic singer/bassist and drummer.

Here are our favorite seven moments from the show:

Katy Perry Goes Glam
Perry is no stranger to emotional ballads, but even a pop diva might be intimidated by taking on one of the most beloved, oft-covered rock songs of all time. You'd never know it from the way she dug into "Yesterday," giving it her breathy, belting best while sporting a retro up-do and a flowing, flowered cape-like dress.

Maroon 5 Go Retro
No big deal, Adam Levine and the boys just had to open the broadcast with a pair of the Beatles' early hits, including sugar pop versions of "All My Loving" and "Ticket To Ride." The always-dapperMaroon 5 were dressed in sharp black suits and white shirts like the ones the Beatles wore on Sullivan's 1964 broadcast, which was seen by 74 million people, a record at the time.

Sheeran Strips It Down
On a show that included sets by Stevie Wonder, a reunited ...

The Red Wedding occurred almost a year ago, though it feels like the traumatic event happened just yesterday. But in due time, the last stand of the King in the North will feel like a distant memory, as is poised for even more trauma in its upcoming fourth season.

HBO teased up the new season of "Thrones" on Sunday night with an extended behind-the-scenes sneak peek, entitled "Game of Thrones: Ice and Fire: A Foreshadowing." The 15-minute special introduced some of the new faces and plotlines we'll see when season four begins; read on for some of the highlights.

"Where Do You Go From There?"
That's the question put forth by Peter Dinklage, on the topic of the Red Wedding. The epic betrayal and murder of Robb Stark and his fellow northerners was not just the biggest twist of season three, but the biggest twist of "Thrones" to date.

Can the show top itself in season four? The answer is a very big "yes," according to showrunner David Benioff: "Some of the most shocking and mind-blowing scenes of the series come at the end of this coming season. There are some very bloody confrontations."

"I know how important the Red Wedding is to so many fans of the books," added Dinklage. "But we pick up the pieces and top it in many ways."

The Imperiled Imp
Speaking of Dinklage, his character, the quick-witted Tyrion Lannister, is in for a tumultuous season four. Benioff described the upcoming year as "the most dangerous season for Tyrion. It seems like every episode, he's in jeopardy of getting his ...

Shia LaBeouf, who is not famous anymore, left an infamous impression on attendees of the Berlin Film Festival over the weekend.

Appearing in support of Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac," LaBeouf joined his fellow cast members for a press conference on Sunday. According to The Hollywood Reporter's account of the event, the actor "looked disheveled in a dirty hat and hoodie," and was missing a lower bottom tooth. About ten minutes into the conference, LaBeouf was asked his first question — about his sex scenes in "Nymphomanaic" — yielding an unexpected and unforgettable response.

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you," he said, "slowly and deliberately," before exiting the conference, according to THR.

The quote comes from French soccer player Eric Cantona, spoken during a 1995 press conference after an assault conviction, according to Yahoo.

Later that night, at Berlin's "Nymphomaniac" premiere, LaBeouf walked the red carpet wearing a black and white tuxedo, and a paper bag over his head. The bag was marked with the words, "I am not famous anymore," in large, black marker — the same words LaBeouf has tweeted every single day without fail since January 20.

LaBeouf's appearance at the Berlin Film Festival marks the latest development in an ongoing remodeling of the actor's reputation. In December, he released a short film called "HowardCantour.com," which was later revealed to be virtually identical to a Daniel Clowes comic book called "Justin M. Damiano." LaBeouf promptly apologized for the similarities, but it ...

History was made on Sunday (February 9) when a Missouri University football player made an announcement never before heard in the National Football League while Shia LaBeouf continues to keep us wondering what's up with his bizarre behavior at the Berlin Film Festival. Those, plus Fox's cancellation of "X Factor" and a tantalizing teaser for "Game Of Thrones" are today's top stories.

Mizzou Footballer Says He's Gay, Makes History
Michael Sam, a former defensive lineman for the Missouri Tigers, made history on Sunday (February 9) when he publicly revealed he is gay. Sam becomes the first openly gay man with potential to be drafted by the National Football League this year. In an interview with ESPN, recent graduate said, "I am an openly, proud gay man," while the NFL responded with, "We admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage." Three cheers for equality and acceptance in sports!

Shia LaBeouf Wears Bag, Acts Bizarre In Berlin
The actor, in Berlin to promote his new film "Tweeted almost daily since January 13, the star posed for photos not unlike any of the other stars. The unusual red carpet wear comes on the heels of LaBeouf's bizarre behavior at a press conference earlier that day, in which he responded to a reporter's question about the movie's sex scenes by saying, "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea," and i mmedaitely walking out.

One Direction's Zayn Malik put a ring on it, and his fiancée is certainly happy he did.

On Friday (February 7) Perrie Edwards, along with her Little Mix bandmates, stopped by MTV News and talked about her upcoming nuptials.

So now that Perrie has been an engaged woman for five months, what's been the best part so far?

"The rock...isn't that the best part? When everyone is like 'Wow'," Perrie said. "No I was joking...just knowing that I'm going to be with someone that I love forever." The couple confirmed their engagement last August after Edwards was seen sporting her sparkler at the London premiere of her fianc233;'s 3-D flick,

Although Little Mix's Leigh-Anne Pinnock promises it will be "the best wedding ever," Perrie admits that they haven't made too many plans for their big day. But make no mistake, when it does come time to do some serious preparations, Zayn will be involved, whether he likes it or not.

"Well, he tried to get out of it. He said, 'You know what? The wedding, it's all about the lady.' He went, 'Honestly, it's your day. You're the princess. You go all out and then just let me know what you want,'" Perrie revealed. "I went 'You're not getting out of it that easy, love.' I went, 'You're planning it with us, thank you very much.' He thought he was clever, but no, I'm one step ahead."

"The Walking Dead" returned on Sunday evening, and with it came all the requisite bloodletting, brain-busting and pudding-eating that fans of the show have grown accustomed to.

OK, maybe the pudding part was new.

Here are nine of our burning questions after watching the Rick-, Carl- and Michonne-focused midseason premiere, titled "After."

1. Want to hear a "knock-knock" joke?: We'll skip right to the punch-line: "It's for you." Michonne's arrival at Rick and Carl's shelter, and the pure glee exhibited by badly beaten Rick, has to stand out as one of the weirdest, happiest moments "The Walking Dead" has ever offered up, right? It was a reminder that there's still some hope alive in this hopeless, dead world.

2. How much pudding can you eat?: Because 112 ounces seems like a lot for one person to stomach, even if he's a growing adolescent dealing with the pressures of puberty, not to mention a zombie apocalypse. If I was Rick, and I found out my son had eaten all that pudding without me ... let's just say, it wouldn't have been pretty.

3. Did Carl really "win" anything? Beyond the pudding, I think the answer is a resounding "no," based on his pathetic performance throughout the episode. Sure, he salvaged some food. Yeah, he killed and imprisoned a few walkers. But he fell down a lot, almost got killed a lot, cried a lot, and overall failed a lot. Call it "winning" all you want, Carl, as long as you mean it in the Charlie Sheen sense of the word.

4. Is Rick going to make it? ...
