From 3,236 locations, the action-packed crime thriller pulled...

The others, not so much. It appears that YA adaptations aren’t about to die off yet. ‘The Maze Runner‘ opened with $32.5 million. That was strong enough to score not only the top spot at the box office, but also a sequel. Striking while the...

Screen Gems’ thriller ‘No Good Deed‘ opened to a strong $24.5 million from 2,175 locations. Many comparisons are being made to the same...

The widest of the new releases is the sequel to 2011’s ‘Dolphin Tale‘. Continuing the true story of the amputee dolphin with a prosthetic tail, ‘Dolphin Tale 2‘ explains what happened to Winter since the events...

Although its concept was based on a true story – a beached dolphin was found with a nearly severed tail due to being caught in a trapper’s snare – the main narrative was as...

Most moviegoers attended older releases, while two-, three- and four-week-old movies dropped no more than 30% from last weekend’s numbers. Perhaps audiences just don’t want to see remakes and fluffy films? Week-old ‘Real Steel‘ retained the #1 spot with $16.3 million....

At least ‘Moneyball’ and ’50/50′ are also holding their own by rounding...

In its second weekend, ‘Dolphin Tale’ jumped from third place to first. Meanwhile, ‘The Lion King (in 3D)’, a 17-year-old film...

For the second week in a row, the 3D re-release of a 17-year-old movie has dominated the box office. Only falling 26.6% in attendance, ‘The Lion King (in 3D)‘ earned another $22 million. That’s pretty shocking considering that it beat out...
