I’m actually live blogging the Golden Globe awards over at mjsbigblog.com, so if you’d like to join us for the part over there, that’s where I’ll be on Sunday night. But, for now, my predictions for how the night will … Continue reading Golden Globe Predictions
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
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
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
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’
Fifty Shades Of Grey is destined for a huge tumble in week 2. It’s a Valentines entry, and it’s poorly reviewed. Even audiences only gave it a C+ cinemascore, so we can’t expect much long term. A drop of at … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Fifty Shades’ Of A Second Victory?
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. It’s a shame it did so well, because no one will be talking about Kingsman, which … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Fifty Shades’ Beats The Competition Into Submission
Fifty Shades Of Grey has now put the February Box Office Record in its sights. It is aiming for the highest opening weekend of the month ever, a record currently held by The Passion Of The Christ at 83.8M. Will … Continue reading Early Box Office Projections: ‘Fifty Shades’ Of Box Office Records?
Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Jennifer Ehle, Victor Rasuk, Luke Grimes, Marcia Gay Harden, Max Martini Directed By: Sam Taylor Johnson Well, that was silly. First of all, do I believe that this film glorifies violence against women? No, one … Continue reading Fifty Shades Of Grey
Fifty Shades Of Grey made 8.6M last night, which is the second highest grossing R rated Thursday night debut on record, behind only The Hangover 2. It is far and away outgrossing The Kingsman, which made a respectable 1.4M last … Continue reading ‘Fifty Shades’ Of Money
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?
The release of this trailer had its own teaser trailer, so yeah, I’d call it a “hot” new trailer. It debuted this morning on the Today show. Continue reading Hot New Trailer: Fifty Shades Of Grey
I just watched an ad for Buying Naked, a show about house hunting in a nudist community in Florida. It’s on TLC. There’s also Dating Naked, which just premiered on VH1. And there’s Naked and Afraid on Discovery, and also … Continue reading What’s Up With All The Naked Programming?
This summer, you’ve got it relatively easy. Captain America 2. Spider-Man 2. Transformers 4. Apes 2. Dragon 2. And a lot of original flicks. You’re able to space out your movie watching. If you don’t want to go every week, … Continue reading Why 2015 Is An Insane Year For Movies
