Sadly, the big headlining titles are pretty much a wash-out. New Releases (Blu-ray) ‘Geostorm‘ – Roland Emmerich’s former producing partner Dean Devlin tries his hand at directing a big, stupid disaster movie on his own. That was a mistake. For...

While the year’s box office is down considerably, each of the week’s new releases had excellent debuts. With...

The ‘Bad Moms’ sequel also had a decent opening, but isn’t tracking like its highly profitable predecessor. Aside from those, however, the weekend’s box office was just as poor as the past several weeks. Marvel...

It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that ‘Saw’ eventually returned. After all, the ‘Friday the 13th’ series delivered its final chapter a mere four movies into a twelve-film franchise. But whether or not...

A mix of lazy movies and competition from streaming original content (like the new season of ‘Stranger Things’) are probably to blame. This weekend was no exception. It’s been seven years since the ‘Saw’ franchise was last on the big...

Estimates place the top two titles only $9,000 apart, so neither one can quite claim victory yet.
