Awards season has officially begun. Yesterday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association revealed its nominations for the Golden Globes ceremony in January. As usual, the choices are a mix of predictable safe bets and mystifying oddballs. As announced by presenters Jessica Alba, Megan Fox and Ed Helms, Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ received the most love with seven...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 13:00:28 +0000

Was there any doubt that ‘The Hunger Games’ would follow up its $155 million opening weekend in any spot other than first again? Of course not, but the drop-off was not as friendly as the studio hoped it would be. Lionsgate predicted a 53% drop that would have given the film a $71.7 million second...

Despite some stiff competition, ‘The Lorax’ held off every other opener with a second #1 weekend at $39.1 million, which brings its ten-day total to $121.9 million. Too bad Dr. Seuss isn’t around to see everyone making boatloads of money off him. Disney’s risky March blockbuster hopeful ‘John Carter‘ performed even worse domestically than predicted....

Weekend Movies: A Summer Blockbuster Arrives Early

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 16:00:50 +0000

Big and expensive blockbusters opening in March scare me. You never know if you’re going to get something awesome like ‘300‘ or a wretched waste of time like ‘Watchmen‘. (Yes, it’s by coincidence that both are Zack Snyder movies.) This weekend, Disney’s $250 million popcorn flick is about to be put to the test. Oh,...
