Cinderella managed to win the weekend, and the heart of audiences. The Disney film scored an A cinemascore and an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes. The combination has led to Cinderella exceeding all expectations and landing a 70M opening weekend. Run … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Cinderella’ Runs Away With The Shoe
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. Chappie won’t go above 20M due to poor reviews. … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Chappie’ Set To Win Slow Weekend

My gut instinct is that 60M is a lowball projection for 50 Shades of Grey. It’s a super-hyped film that has strong advance ticket sales, resulting even in some sold out showtimes already at theatres. So, while most people are … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Fifty Shades’ Of Greatness?

American Sniper is rumored to have just made 29.1M on Friday. If that number holds true, it’s a gigantic fucking number. Clint Eastwood’s biggest opening ever as a director is 29.5M for Gran Torino, and American Sniper almost did that … Continue reading Holy Shit. American Sniper Just Made A Ton Of Money
