The month begins with very few notable Blu-ray releases, even fewer of which look worth spending money on. We don’t even get any Ultra HD discs...

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...

Unfortunately, he’s rarely involved in his own sequels. ‘Insidious: The Last Key’ really could have used his talents to squeeze out some more scares… or the presence of anyone who cares about anything in this franchise beyond its almost inexplicable...

Nobody saw this coming, not even Universal. Expected to open around the $100 million mark, ‘Jurassic World‘ proved to be a much bigger powerhouse than that. From 4,274 locations, the fourth installment in the franchise (which is the first in 14 years)...

However, much like Warners’ big-screen revival of an HBO series, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. After McCarthy’s ‘Tammy‘ failed to entertain last summer, it looked like her schtick...
