“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” wins the Easter weekend race overall as it nears $600 million worldwide. While there were high hopes for “Transcendence” the film failed to deliver. “Transcendence” marks the third big-budget bomb in a row forJohnny Depp after The “Lone Ranger” and “Dark Shadows” (both of those movies opened to roughly $29 million, but never found success). In terms of Depp’s openings, “Transcendence” came in lower than “The Tourist,” which debuted to $16.5 million in 2010.
