Josh Zyber — Mon, 18 Nov 2013 14:00:51 +0000

November is proving to be a very busy and potentially expensive month for Blu-ray collectors. While this week may not have any super-powered blockbusters, I’m sure that if you take a good look, you might find a thing or two of interest among the diverse array of new titles. New Releases Stars Simon Pegg and...

Weekend Box Office: The Horror, the Horror…

Luke Hickman — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 16:00:30 +0000

For the umpteenth time this year, a tiny horror movie has destroyed another title that should have done much better. With the genre still going strong, don’t expect the scary streak to end anytime soon. Capitalizing on the Friday the 13th release date, microbudget horror flick ‘Insidious: Chapter 2‘ not only crushed the competition, it...

Weekend Box Office: Another Lackluster Debut

Luke Hickman — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:00:06 +0000

With only one wide release, there was no question about what would open in the top spot at the box office this weekend. The real question was whether it would earn enough to make the threequel worthwhile. Unfortunately, it’s too early to wave goodbye to Riddick yet. The third movie in the Vin Diesel franchise,...

Weekend Box Office: More Laborious Than Usual

Luke Hickman — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 16:00:18 +0000

As the last big holiday weekend of the summer, Labor Day’s box office totals are never anything to write home about. However, this year did a bit better than the usual trend, especially for an unlikely foreign release. The 3D concert documentary ‘One Direction: This Is Us‘ came in first, but just barely. The British...

Weekend Box Office: You Got Served… by ‘The Butler’!

Luke Hickman — Mon, 19 Aug 2013 16:00:02 +0000

Of this weekend’s four wide releases, only one walked away a success. One of the other three did all right, but the others flopped hard. ‘Precious‘ filmmaker Lee Daniels is back on top after last year’s dud ‘The Paperboy‘. ‘The Butler‘ opened to an awesome $25 million from 2,900 screens. Some early MPAA controversy is...

Weekend Box Office: Matt and Jodie on Top

Luke Hickman — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 16:00:55 +0000

This weekend was a mixed bag. Two R-rated movies went head-to-head, and the over-population of family films continued to compete against each other. Collectively, their numbers were big, but individually, none truly impressed. Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium‘ won the top spot with $30.4 million, but that’s hardly a win. With Matt Damon and Jodie Foster starring,...

Weekend Movies: Sequels, Spin-Offs, Sci-Fi and Pot

Luke Hickman — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:00:12 +0000

This weekend gives us a variety of new movies. Pick your poison, but be warned: The most unlikely movie might be the only one that’s actually worthwhile. Since all four releases are debuting near or north of 3,000 screens, let’s list them from least satisfying to most satisfying. As you may have suspected, ‘Planes‘ comes...
