Box Office Report: Three new releases, but none can unseat the massive ‘Deadpool’
It was a familiar-looking weekend at the movies, with none of the new releases managing to out-perform the New Year’s top two hits. Deadpool hung on to its top slot for a second week, with a big gross that most movies can’t even achieve in their first weekends. This is ... -
What’s New: Weekend of February 19
Three new wide releases this week, but nothing looks poised to unseat Deadpool as the king of the multiplex. The three, for the most part, look like typical dead-of-winter filler that are unlikely to endure — though if anything does, I suspect it will be the week’s most under-the-radar title, ... -
Box Office Report: ‘Deadpool’ opens huge, shatters records
Valentine’s Day weekend was one of record-breaking surprises for the second year in a row. Just one year after Fifty Shades of Grey opened to very big numbers and claimed the title of biggest February opening of all time, that record was broken once more — this time by Deadpool. ... -
What’s New: Weekend of February 12
This weekend, expect Kung Fu Panda 3 to end its reign as #1, as three new films open, all of which seem likely to appeal to mass audiences. Plus, Michael Moore’s first documentary in seven years! The film which appears to have the greatest chance of winning the weekend is ... -
Box Office Report: ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ remains on top Super Bowl weekend
Not much to write about this week — people must have stayed home in a Super Bowl fever, since all three new releases flopped. Kung Fu Panda 3 topped the chart for the second week in a row, and it’ll likely pass Ride Along 2 in a week or so ... -
What’s New: Weekend of February 5
The first weekend of February brings with it three new wide releases, and it’s quite the eclectic bunch. There’s a goofy comedy from high-brow iconic auteur brothers, a sappy Nicholas Sparks adaptation, and, er, a British costume drama horror comedy. That last one is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, based ... -
Box Office Report: ‘Kung Fu Panda 3’ knocks out competition, ‘Jane Got a Gun’ bombs
As people continued to flock to the two biggest hits of the holiday season, four new wide releases made their debuts in the final weekend of January, to very mixed results. Surprising nobody, the #1 film of the week was Kung Fu Panda 3, which nevertheless had the lowest opening ... -
What’s New: Weekend of January 29
The winter blues at the movies continue this week, as The three particularly grim-looking new wide releases enter the marketplace. Meanwhile, a notoriously troubled Western finally sees the light of day. The most successful new film will surely be Kung Fu Panda 3, the mega-budget animated sequel from DreamWorks Animation. ... -
Limited-Release Lowdown: ‘Ip Man 3’ rakes in the dough, ‘Anomalisa’ reaches a milestone
We obviously love movies on this blog, but so much of our focus in terms of reviews and box office reports thus far has been on wide releases — and those get all of everyone’s attention in general anyway. Part of being a cinephile is providing a voice of support ... -
Box Office Report: ‘The Revenant’ claims the weekend, as new releases underwhelm
Three new films opened in wide release this weekend, and they all basically made the same unremarkable amount of money. Otherwise, this week’s box office is more of the same. In its fifth weekend (and third in wide release), The Revenant topped the chart for the first time and also ...
