Box Office Predictions: ‘Cinderella’ To Be Crowned Queen
Disney opens the live action Cinderella, luckily in a completely open marketplace. Not that people wouldn’t go see it in a crowded marketplace, but it probably wouldn’t be able to pull in as much, or as big of an opening. … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Cinderella’ To Be Crowned Queen
Focus
Starring: Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Rodrigo Santoro, Adrian Martinez, Gerald McRaney, BD Wong Directed By: Glenn Ficarra and John Requa Sleek, stylish, and reminiscent of all the times Cary Grant had fun on the big screen, Focus is a fairly … Continue reading Focus

Hugh Jackman is really a secondary character in Chappie, so the film will have to soar on its own. Unfortunately, reviews haven’t been kind. Turns out Neill Blomkamp is a one-hit-wonder.

Box Office Predictions: Audiences Won’t Lose ‘Focus’
Will Smith and Margot Robbie team up for the dramedy Focus, which for reasons unknown is also an IMAX release. I can’t see too many people paying the premium IMAX for this, so that won’t help much. Instead, Focus will … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Audiences Won’t Lose ‘Focus’

Box Office Predictions: ‘Fifty Shades’ Of A Second Victory?

Weekend Box Office: ‘Fifty Shades’ Beats The Competition Into Submission
Oh yeah, I went there. Fifty Shades Of Grey did absurdly good, opening to 81.6M over three days for a 22,400 per screen average.
