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...

Meanwhile, last week’s announcement of the year’s Oscar nominations significantly boosted the attendance of many of the contending titles. Although ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure‘ defeated ‘Jumanji’ sequel, the film’s $23.5 million opening was a bit lower than...

Not one of this weekend’s three wide releases was able to defeat the almighty ‘Jumanji’ sequel. Each performed better than expected, but still brought in fairly low returns. ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle‘ isn’t playing any games. The action comedy...

The nearest competition was $9 million behind it, so ‘Jumanji’ didn’t even have anything snapping at it heels. The weekend was a bit...

After two weeks at #2, the ‘Jumanji’ sequel managed to climb into the top spot at the box office. The third ‘Insidious’ sequel also had a surprisingly big debut. Both are performing so well that I highly doubt either franchise is likely to end here. ‘Jumanji: Welcome...

Owning the domestic top spot for three consecutive years, the ‘Star Wars’ franchise has officially bowled a turkey....

With five new movies in wide release, two limited openings and a nationwide expansion, this holiday weekend was certainly congested – and that doesn’t even take into account movies that took the stage on Monday, Christmas Day! Thanks to a massive dip in attendance for ‘Star Wars’, almost all of...

How about a movie about the value of putting on a great show that is a mediocre show at best? Well, that’s ‘The Greatest Showman’ for you. The film is a massively expensive musical ode to old-fashioned showbiz razzmatazz that could use a little more of that good stuff itself. This is as...
