More importantly, which did you enjoy and which...

Luke Hickman — Mon, 22 Jun 2015 16:00:19 +0000

While Pixar’s latest release had a very successful opening weekend, those Jurassic dinosaurs continue to break records. After just ten days, ‘Jurassic World‘ has grossed a massive $398.2 million domestically thanks to a better-than-expected holdover. Dropping just 51% in attendance, the movie’s sophomore weekend resulted in an additional $102 million – and the success doesn’t...

Weekend Box Office: Hold on to Your Butts

Luke Hickman — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 16:00:13 +0000

Breaking into record-setting territory, Steven Spielberg’s 22-year-old dino franchise is far from extinct. 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)...

Weekend Box Office: Spies Like Us, And We Like Spies

Luke Hickman — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 16:00:56 +0000

With glowing reviews and great word-of-mouth, it’s no surprise that Melissa McCarthy’s new comedy came in at the top of the box office this weekend. 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...

A lot of people sure did. ‘San Andreas‘ shook the box office this weekend, pulling in an estimated $53.2 million from 3,777 domestic locations, making it the best opening for a picture headlined solely by Dwayne Johnson.

Weekend Movies: Shaken and Stirred

Luke Hickman — Fri, 29 May 2015 17:00:37 +0000

At the same time, Cameron Crowe offers his first adult dramedy feature since ‘Elizabethtown’ flopped ten years ago. In the same vein as any Roland Emmerich flick, this weekend brings us earthquake...

‘San Andreas’ Review: The Rock Punches an Earthquake in the Face

Philip Brown — Thu, 28 May 2015 19:00:45 +0000

One of the last pure action stars, Dwayne “Always the Rock” Johnson towers over every co-star he’s ever been assigned. In a world where few mere mortals can hope to win in a battle against the biggest badass named Dwayne in history, the only appropriate foe that Hollywood can serve up is Mother Nature. Thus...
