With so many moviegoers flocking to see what all the hubbub was about, few other movies thrived in its...

Despite three new movies opening, the battle at the box office came down to Dwayne Johnson’s returning champion and John Krasinski’s quiet hit. This time, the tables turned and the little guy won. Please note that John Krasinski isn’t a little guy...

Friday totals showed the Rock’s latest with slight edge over ‘A Quiet Place’, which pulled ahead on Saturday thanks to excellent holdover. It came down to the wire on Sunday. As much...

It’s not uncommon for scary movies to be financially profitable, but not too many become giant box office hits right out of the gate like this weekend’s newbie. In addition, the new R-rated comedy and the scandalous political drama also performed strongly. Hats off to John Krasinski, who co-wrote, directed and starred...

Steven Spielberg’s latest opened in the last days of March, but fits into that same mold and yielded nice returns. It wasn’t the only title to draw audiences this Easter weekend. Moviegoers showed that they were ready for...

The panned ‘Pacific Rim’ sequel punched its way to the top with a so-so debut, while every other wide release struggled. When the original, big-budget ‘Pacific Rim’ opened in summer 2013, its $37.2 million domestic...

The studio’s latest family adventure movie failed to reach the top of the box office, losing to another Disney film that’s been around for a month already. ‘Black Panther‘ led the pack for the fourth week. With a light 38% decline and a strong $41.1 million, the...

At the same time, Jennifer Lawrence’s spy thriller and Bruce Willis’ action reboot saw decent, but unimpressive, opening returns. As if the stormy weather and the Oscars had no effect on the box office, almost every title in the Top 10...

Although its placement on the podium didn’t allow for any of the newcomer movies to make much noise, each performed well in its own right. After ten days, thanks to a healthy...

February has a new highest-grossing domestic debut. The $132.4 million record previously held by ‘Deadpool’ is null and void thanks to Marvel Studios’ ‘Black Panther‘.

Thanks to a lack of strong competition, the final ‘Fifty Shades’ movie came out on top. In 2015, the first ‘Fifty Shades’ adaptation debuted to $85.1 million, setting an R-rated record that was ultimately...

While ‘Maze Runner’ was expected to retain the top spot on the box office charts, it was actually defeated by the seven-week-old ‘Jumanji’ sequel. All in all, it was a pretty weak weekend, which is expected each time it...
