Ne-Yo Talks About Starring In His 1st Movie, The #1 Film In America, 'Battle: Los Angeles'

Getting a role in a blockbuster movie is a great way to start your movie career.

Ne-Yo says his 1st movie role was physically demanding.

"It was some of the most difficult stuff I've ever been through in my life,' Ne-yo told AP regarding doing his own stunts. "They put us through boot camp with real live marines to make sure we actually looked and acted the part."

Rounding out the top 5 are 'Rango' (23 mil), 'Red Riding Hood' ($13 mil), The Adjustment Bureau ($11 Mil) and 'Mars Needs Moms' ($6.8 mil).
