After weeks of disappointing titles, with Pirates, Baywatch, Snatched, King Arthur, and to some point even Alien Covenant, all disappointing, can Wonder Woman come in and save the day? The highly anticipated title is currently trending super fresh at 97% … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Can ‘Wonder Woman’ Save The Day?
Well, one of the more “surefire” things of the summer, the Dwayne Johnson led Baywatch, is flopping, putting another question mark over the heads of the summer. The tracking for Baywatch had it making 40-50M over the long 5 day … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Baywatch’ Bombs
So, reviews aren’t going to help either of our new releases. We can just throw that out the window. Baywatch has a 19% and Pirates has a 28%. People will not be going to the theatres this weekend because of … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: The ‘Baywatch’ Against ‘Pirates’ Battle
The fact that Alien Covenant came out of the gate really strong with its Thursday night preview but ended up with only 36M over the weekend should be concerning for all future sequels this summer. Yes, Alien Covenant opened in … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Alien’ Wins, But Kinda Unimpressively
After spending two weeks at the top of the box office, the Guardians Of The Galaxy are going to be defeated by an unlikely source. Aliens. It’s kinda poetic when you think about it. A group of space heroes finally … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Guardians’ To Be Defeated By ‘Alien’
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 does have some competition coming into its second weekend, but the two new films are poorly reviewed, which will hurt their prospects. Originally, I had thought King Arthur and Snatched would both open in … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Will Poor Reviews Kill ‘King Arthur’ and Return ‘Snatched’?
Even though Guardians was projected to do 140-160M at the box office this weekend, the new estimate of 138M isn’t that far off. So, don’t call this a disappointment just yet. 2M off of the projected range is pretty spot … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Guardians’ On Low End Of Expectations, Still Crushing Competition
With arguably the biggest movie of the summer opening tonight, I felt like it was time to finally get out my Summer 2017 predictions. There’s a lot of talk about this summer being the biggest summer of them all. They … Continue reading Summer Box Office Preview 2017
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 opens on Friday, virtually unchecked. It will absorb almost every ticket sale this weekend, as its closest competition will struggle to make 10M in second place. The original opened to 94.3M, but had incredible … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: How High Can ‘Guardians’ Go?
It’s May 1st, which means it’s time to jump back to February and discuss how the major releases of the month performed. I try and take everything we’ve seen into account before determining if a film was a hit or … Continue reading February Releases: How’d They Do?
This weekend, there are three new releases trying to overtake The Fate Of The Furious. Although, really only one has the potential. The Circle, starring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks is the only one getting enough of a screen count … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Can Emma Watson Beat Vin Diesel?
The Fate Of The Furious has dropped 63% in week two, a bit harder than I predicted (given the total lack of competition) but it’s not out of character for the franchise. It will easily pass 200M, but with the … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Furious’ Slows Quickly, But New Releases Are No Match
How many people will see The Fate Of The Furious this weekend? Well… a lot. This sequel doesn’t quite have the heat that Furious 7 had, which led to its 147M opening weekend. That was boosted by a nostalgia trip … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘The Fate’ Of Easter Weekend
It’s pretty likely that the top three movies this weekend will be family films. That’s a lot of audience splitting in preparation for The Fate Of The Furious. I’m betting that the arrival of Smurfs will cut into both Boss … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Smurfs’ Adds To The Crowded Marketplace
Now that we’re on April 1st, we can pretty much look back on our January releases and figure out what actually was a hit, and what flopped. Most of these films are no longer in theatres, Some are still making … Continue reading January Releases: How’d They Do?
