That’s right, more moviegoers opted to see the continuing prequelization of humanity’s fall to intelligent primates than Marvel Studios’ latest box office and critical smash. As this summer gradually nears to a close, the weekends are becoming congested. With next weekend bringing three new...

As we all knew he would, Peter Parker climbed to the top of the box office charts. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming‘ grossed an impressive $117 million from 4,348 screens. That ranks the movie as #7 of the 16 Marvel Cinematic Universe openings, but #1 in terms of...

Not all stars have power. And not all small-time directors are limited to small-time numbers. This weekend’s box office results weren’t exactly predictable, but they’re pleasantly fitting.
