Beyond those, we also get a few more interesting titles, including a drive-in classic and the greatest fusion of live action and animation ever put to screen. New Releases...

However, by falling 56.3% in attendance, the film has failed to maintain the ‘Lord of the Rings’ legacy. Even though the movie has grossed $150 million during its domestic 10-day run, its quick decline suggests that ‘An...

After last week’s slump, the box office has bounced back with a new record. Thanks to the help of 3D, IMAX and a popular franchise, the month of December has a new all-time...

Instead, ‘Skyfall’ hopped into this measly weekend’s top spot with $11 million, which brings its nationwide five-weekend total to $261.6 million. It will be nice to see what a good weekend...

Continuing that trend, the final installment of the ‘Twilight’ series once again dominated the box office over the holiday weekend. Each of last week’s Top 3 titles held onto their positions over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend. ‘Breaking Dawn, Part 2‘ added $64 million to...

We get a gorgeous thought-provoking drama, a mindless teen action remake, and a kids’ holiday tale. If you don’t fit into those three demographics, ‘Skyfall’ and ‘Twilight’ are still around too, of course. The widest release this weekend is DreamWorks Animation’s ‘Rise of...
