I totally thought that Boss Baby was going to be another Mr Peabody and Sherman. It had all the makings. It was another Dreamworks animated film opening in March. Boss Baby has a rather disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score (48%) which … Continue reading Friday Box Office: I Was Wrong About ‘Boss Baby’
Two new releases enter this weekend, and I think both will be slightly disappointing. I was waiting for the Rotten Tomatoes scores to start coming in for Ghost In The Shell, and it is barely fresh. I think it will … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Ghost’ ‘Baby’ Can’t Defeat ‘Beast’
We are in a very crowded box office right now. We already have four films that are performing well, with Beauty and the Beast, Kong Skull Island, Logan, and Get Out. Now we’re looking at adding Life, Power Rangers, and … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Three New Films Can’t Stop The ‘Beast’
We’re headed into spring break time, with many schools being let out, or already out for Spring Break. This is going to start affecting movie attendance, as parents try and find things for their kids to do. Luckily, there are … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: It’s a Tale As Old As Time
The final Wolverine film opens this weekend, which will mean that the top two films at the box office are both rated R films. That seems unusual, sure. Is Logan another Deadpool? That’s a little unlikely. Deadpool was its own … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Logan’ Set To Dissect Competition
Mind you, this is a horror film that STILL has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes the day before it begins its Thursday evening showings. 30 reviews counted so far, all Fresh. Get Out is definitely a super buzzy horror film, … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: How High Will ‘Get Out’ Go?
Yes, I believe that the Ice Cube/Charlie Day comedy Fist Fight is going to outgross Matt Damon’s action The Great Wall. Interestingly, The Great Wall has already made 224M overseas (170M of that being from China alone). That doesn’t mean … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Fist Fight’ Will Climb A ‘Great Wall’
LEGO Batman didn’t quite hit the 60M many were expecting, but 54.5M total is good. Fifty Shades of Darker did much better than expected, and somehow managed a B+ cinemascore, which is up from the C+ the original received. I … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Lego’, ‘Shades’, ‘Wick’ all impress
Even though it might be the top destination choice for Valentine’s Day, Fifty Shades Darker is not expected to win this weekend. That could be a surprise, considering the original set the record (then) for biggest February opener, which would … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Fifty Shades’ Of ‘Batman’ and ‘John Wick’
Here’s the thing. Split has been doing really well. It opened above expectations, and it only dropped 35% last weekend. It’s on track to be the first 100M release of 2017, possibly as early as this weekend (but more likely … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Is ‘Rings’ A Hit?
Split has managed to do even better than expected, showing that Shyamalan still has power at the box office. The film has also managed a B+ cinemascore, which is really good for a film of this genre. Of course, what … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Split’ Explodes, ‘XXX3’ Just Does OK
I have a feeling both Split and XXX3 are going to beat their current projections. I’m seeing Split exploding on tracking, and if The Bye Bye Man can hit 15M with shit reviews, Split might even get 30M with good … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘XXX’ or ‘Split’?
Mark Wahlberg’s Patriots Day is looking to make an impact over the MLKJr weekend. The question is, will it be enough to beat Hidden Figures, which is reeling from an A+ cinemascore. Patriots Day is just one of a handful … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Patriots Day’ Aims For First Over Crowded Weekend
Star Wars is looking to win this weekend, even with a hard hit coming out of the holidays. Hidden Figures is the only film that’s being set up as a potential breakout. It’s tracking in the high teens, but I … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Star Wars’ Vs ‘Blood Wars’
As 2016 winds down, I thought I’d take the opportunity to examine not just the hits, but the unexpected hits of the year. It’s easy to just repost the top 10 biggest films of the year, but these are my … Continue reading The Biggest Box Office Surprises and Flops Of The Year
