I thank both studios for that. New Releases ‘Hidden Figures‘ – ‘St. Vincent’ director Theodore Melfi quickly shot up into the big leagues...

Honestly, I’m having trouble believing it myself, but indeed the shocking fact remains that Lin-Manuel Miranda did not EGOT… … yet. I’m sure he’ll get another chance in the future. In the meantime, despite the enormous pressure from seemingly the...

In addition, this was also the highest-grossing weekend of the year so far. Each of the new movies happened to be a franchise sequel or spinoff, but only one of them managed to outgross its predecessor. Although the ‘Fifty Shades’ sequel dominated Friday’s...

As much as I love ‘Split’ – and I truly love it – this better be its last weekend at the top of the box office. I’m struggling to find headlines that play on its...

Night Shyamalan’s latest not only held onto the top of the box office, but also highly outpaced analyst predictions. Meanwhile, the dog-centric family film performed well, but not well enough to pose a threat to the reigning champ. ‘Split‘ is performing beyond Shyamalan and Jason Blum’s wildest dreams.

The musical scored 14 nominations in all, tying the record with ‘All About Eve’ and ‘Titanic’. More surprising: ‘Suicide Squad’ landed more nominations than Pixar’s latest blockbuster. The ‘Suicide Squad’ nomination was for Makeup...

Meanwhile, Vin Diesel’s latest action flick, the McDonald’s origin story, and a faith-based drama didn’t quite stick their landings. Estimated to debut in the low- to mid-$20...

None of the week’s newer movies stood a chance. Adding 815 screens and climbing up to a total of 3,286 locations, ‘Hidden Figures‘...

Aside from that, three Oscar-contenders expand their releases, each of which must be better than Sony’s new...
