Although the timeslot wars don’t officially start until next Sunday, the 28th, it’s important to note that NBC’s lineup won’t change (they’re sticking with football), and CBS launches their lineup this Sunday. 8PM: Once Upon A Time vs Madam Secretary … Continue reading TIMESLOT WARS: Sunday
The Maze Runner opened fairly strong for a September release, grabbing 1.1M in late night grosses. That should put it on track for a mid-20’s gross for the weekend. A Walk Among The Tombstones did 428K last night, which is … Continue reading ‘Maze’ Runs For 1.1M In Late Nights
Amadeus turns 30 this week, having first opened in 1984 with a per screen average of $20,211, which would be somewhere around a 50K per screen average now, with inflation. Amadeus ended up with 51M at the box office, running … Continue reading This Week’s Anniversaries
FX has renewed Tyrant for a second season, despite low ratings. 1.5 million viewers watched the finale, which isn’t an exceptionally high number, but I guess it was good enough for FX. Continue reading FX Renews ‘Tyrant’
So, two new shows launched last night. One of them was awful, the other was alright. The awful show, The Mysteries Of Laura, was sampled by 10.4 million people last night, coming off of America’s Got Talent’s finale. Red Band … Continue reading ‘Red Band’ Debuts Soft, ‘Laura’ Hits Strong
1) The Maze Runner- 25M Weekend, 25M Total I’ve seen people claiming this is a 30M opener, and that the film is tracking really well. I don’t think this has 30M potential, and the tracking could lead to a 25M … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Maze’ Will Run In 1st
Starring Debra Messing, Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Enrico Colantoni I’m not sure what I just watched. I think NBC just tried to do a buddy cop dramedy, like Bones or Castle. But for some reason, they added that … Continue reading The Mysteries Of Laura (Pilot)
Starring: Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Astro, Ciara Bravo, Griffin Gluck, Zoe Levin, Charlie Roth, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Nolan Sotillo I’ve read some really angry reviews about Red Band Society, saying that the show is manipulative, and it panders at pulling … Continue reading Red Band Society (Pilot)
No Good Deed easily topped the box office this weekend, giving it a shot in the arm after last weeks crappy totals. A really solid 11K PSA and a B+ cinemascore suggest this film might even have some legs. Dolphin … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘No Good’ Number One
Stars: Alfred Molina, John Lithgow, Marisa Tomei, Charlie Tahan, Cheyenne Jackson, Manny Perez, Eric Tabash, Darren Burrows Directed By: Ira Sachs This might be an unpopular opinion review, as well as a little bit spoilery. Actually, there will be spoilers, … Continue reading Love Is Strange
FOX’s Utopia is doing poorly. It’s lost a significant chunk of its audience from episode to episode so far. Finally, after three episodes, only 1.9 million are watching. Utopia is supposed to serve as a lead in on Tuesday for … Continue reading Will ‘Utopia’ Be The First To Go?
Starring: Brenton Thwaites, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Odeya Rush, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, Cameron Monaghan, Taylor Swift Directed By: Phillip Noyce Well, I now like Divergent a little less after realizing that it mirrors a lot of The Giver. That … Continue reading The Giver
A nice shot in the arm this weekend as the three new debuts are all doing really well. Dolphin Tale 2 is performing as expected, and No Good Deed exploded onto the scene, looking for more than 20M this weekend. … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Deed’ and ‘Drop’ Overperform
A rather late renewal, but better late than never. TNT has ordered a second season of the Taye Diggs drama Murder In The First. I had watched the first two episodes, and thought the drama was alright. I was intrigued … Continue reading TNT Renews ‘Murder In The First’
