I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a weekend with so many comedies either opening or expanding all at once. Perhaps since ‘Hunger Games’ is the only major title next week, the studios are using this weekend to counter-program an opp...
Welcome back from another long weekend, folks. We hope you had a good one. This week’s selection of new Blu-ray discs gives us a diverse assortment of titles, from the latest installment in an animated franchise that just won’t di...
Aside from that 3D ‘Menace’, every movie in the box office Top 5 this weekend blasted past expectations – one of them by more than $18 million!
