TAPPER: We're back on THE LEAD with today's Pop Culture Lead. A movie theater wasn't exactly the place to be on Super Bowl Sunday, but one film managed to set a new record this weekend. "American Sniper" is now the number one war movie of all time. It has made more than $215 million, surpassing 1998's "Saving Private Ryan," which may made $216 million. "American Sniper" has been number one at the Box Office since it opened in mid-January. Here's this weekend's top five, the family film, "Paddington" came in second with $8.5 million followed by "Project Almanac," then it was the Kevin Costner movie, "Black or White" followed by J. Lo's new release, "The Boy Next Door." We should also note that today is Chris Kyle Day in Texas. An actor who was best known for his role as the red Power Ranger is now being charged with murder for a deadly sword attack. If you have seen the movies, you will remember this guy, 36-year-old Ricardo Medina Jr. He starred in Power Rangers Wild Force, Power Rangers Samurai, which you don't really get the references unless you have seen Power Rangers Wild Force. He's done voiceover work for the animated TV show. Police say Medina stabbed his roommate with a sword after they got into a fight yesterday afternoon. They say the two got into an argument that turned physical and when Medina's roommate followed him into his room, Medina grabbed the sword and stabbed him in the stomach. He is being held on $1 million bond, awful story. Make sure to follow me on Twitter @jaketapper and also @theleadcnn. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I now turn you over to one Mr. Wolf Blitzer. He is right next door in a place we like to call "THE SITUATION ROOM" -- Wolf.
