The blockbuster movie season was thought to kickoff next month when Furious 7 opens, however the past two weeks have proven audiences are eager to go to the movies right now. Last weekend Insurgent opened to over $50 million dollars in its first weekend. This past weekend Home grabbed the $50 million dollar baton and […]
Disney’s winning formula of turning their treasure chest of animated classics into live-action cash, continued over the past weekend. Whether it is 101 Dalmatians or Snow White and the Huntsman, audiences flock to see the adaptations of their childhood classics, in a trend that will not be ending anytime soon. The latest movie to get a […]
It was an anemic weekend at the box-office with a couple of huge disappointments for some quality Hollywood talent. Vince Vaughn’s road comedy, Unfinished Business, bombed in its first week of release. It debuted in tenth place managing to make only $4.8 million dollars setting the tone for a slow weekend. Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie narrowly […]
This past weekend at the box-office audiences sampled a wide variety of movies. There was no one huge winner, it seems that ticket buyers were in the mood to spread the wealth and see all the options available at the cinemas. As expected, Focus took the number one spot at the box-office this past weekend. […]
For the third week in a row, Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper held on to the top spot at the box-office. It might be fair to categorize the film as not only a success, but as a full-fledged phenomenon. Surely film historians will look back at this time period and examine the series of circumstances which […]
Whenever Liam Neeson shows up on an opening weekend with his Taken movies, all the other films know to step aside like the lunchroom bully has hit the schoolyard. There was no exception to the rule this past weekend either, as Taken 3 took the top spot with an estimated $40.4 million dollars. The third […]
The first Box Office Report of 2015, looked a lot like the last Box Office Report of 2014. Studios chose to coast into the new year by not releasing many new films that would rock the boat. For the third week in a row The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, managed to hang […]
The Christmas holiday along with a few new releases, revitalized the box-office this past weekend. Several titles managed to tread water while there were a couple of impressive debuts. It is probable that a few films benefited from the absence of The Interview as well. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies held on […]
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies had a $56.2 million dollar debut this past weekend. It is the lowest opening of the series and speaks to many casual moviegoers who have lost interest in the saga. The film actually opened on Wednesday and has accumulated over $90 million dollars total. However the film […]
It was another relatively slow weekend at the box-office, despite there being a huge release that should have carried the load. It seems that despite an all-star caliber cast and state-of-the-art visual effects, audiences were not that interested in this particular retelling of the story of Moses. There has been a lot of conversation surrounding […]
There weren’t any new nation-wide movie releases this past weekend and audiences responded by staying away from the theaters. The weekend proved to be one of the worst of the year for ticket sales. The top 12 movies only managed to gross an estimated $70.4 million dollars accumulatively. A number that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay […]
Hopefully you had a great holiday weekend. Now welcome back to reality! Let’s talk dollars and cents! And why is money important? Because that’s what keeps the Hollywood sign lit up! The Thanksgiving weekend was good for the box-office as most of the previously released films held on to a majority of their audiences. While […]
