Again, I’ve chosen my 10 favorite roles by an actress in a supporting role. A pretty diverse group, and there are some I really enjoyed that didn’t make the cut on this list. Just to drop a few of those … Continue reading 2015 In Review: Best Supporting Actress
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
Tom Cruise managed the 2nd largest Mission Impossible opening and the third largest of his career with Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, which showed the power of good reviews, grabbing an A- from Cinemascore and a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Mission’ Possible. Tom Cruise Opens Above Projections.
Ant-Man barely edged Pixels this weekend for the top spot. A 56% drop (not too shabby) kept it in the lead. It broke 100M in its 10th day of release. Pixels was likely hurt by some truly devastating reviews. Audiences … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Ant-Man’ Scores Narrow Victory, ‘Paper’ Crumbles In 6th
Ant-Man may have won the weekend, but it’s the lowest debut for a Marvel movie. There’s even talk that it might not hit 58M. It might fall short. Also, some people are going with the “sky is falling” routine for … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Ant-Man’ Lowest Marvel Debut, ‘Trainwreck’ Passes Expectations
Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, Ashley Aufderheide, Imogene Wolodarsky Directed By: Maya Forbes This is a tough one for me to review. There’s some stuff here I liked, and some stuff I didn’t like. In many ways, Infinitely Polar Bear … Continue reading Infinitely Polar Bear
Minions is another huge hit for Universal. Next weekend, they’re likely to keep the streak up with Trainwreck next weekend. They’ve already landed Fifty Shades Of Grey, Pitch Perfect 2, Furious 7, and Jurassic World this year. Now Minions, and … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Minions’ Is Way Ahead
JurassicWorld managed to top the box office again for the fourth straight week. The dino-might pic (sorry) became the 4th highest grossing film of all time, surpassing 2008’s The Dark Knight. Its next target is The Avengers, which is 3rd … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: Jurassic Keeps #1, No ‘Magic’ This Weekend
I guess people weren’t that excited for Ted 2. The sequel pulled in only 33M this weekend, down about 20M from the original a few years ago. It lost to Jurassic World, which became the fifth film of all time … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Jurassic’ Wins Third Frame, ‘Ted 2’ Disappoints
Jurassic World technically did win the weekend, but it didn’t beat the second weekend record set by The Avengers (yet, anyway), and it failed to get to 400M in 10 days. It was Inside Out that had Pixar’s second largest … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Jurassic’ Wins, But ‘Inside’ Gets Some Records Too
Despite the fact that Jurassic World might become the fastest film to hit 400M, (it should do it in 10 days on Sunday), Inside Out is looking to be the 2nd highest Pixar debut of all time. Jurassic World is … Continue reading Friday Box Office: Despite ‘Jurassic’, ‘Inside Out’ Blasts Past Projections
Sadly, Inside Out won’t get the #1 opening it deserves this weekend, because Jurassic World is a box office juggernaut of unexpected proportions. After slipping past The Avengers to be the #1 opening weekend of All Time, Jurassic World is … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Jurassic’ Will Stomp You ‘Inside Out’
Jurassic World seems to have defied all odds and opened as the 2nd largest domestic debut in history, and the largest worldwide opening weekend. That’s pretty amazing. It’s honestly only a few million shy from The Avengers, and some insiders … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Jurassic’ Roars Into Record Territory
Jurassic World launched on Friday with an estimated 83M, which includes 18.5M from Thursday night previews. That’s a pretty amazing start to what is already a successful run. It already stands to outgross Jurassic Park 3, just on opening weekend … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Jurassic World’ Explodes Past Expectations
Jurassic World is about to enter the marketplace, and it is basically the only new wide release this weekend. Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl is getting attention, but it’s just a limited release. Jurassic World is tracking above 100M, … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: How High Can ‘Jurassic’ Go?
Insidious Chapter 3 pulled out a win on Friday, but it won’t win the whole weekend. Melissa McCarthy’s Spy is a little under projections, but it’s not the kind of film that is typically frontloaded on a Friday. Insidious 3 … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Insidious’ Pulls Ahead
San Andreas led the weekend with a pretty great 53.2M, ahead of expectations of around 40-45M. It is The Rock’s biggest opening as a leading man outside of the Fast and Furious franchise. San Andreas also received an A- from … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: The Rock Leads With ‘San Andreas’, ‘Aloha’ Disappoints
This weekend, The Rock should have no problem claiming a first place victory against a set of 6 films that aim to gross between 10-20M this weekend. Most people will sign up for the disaster flick, which has gotten mixed … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘San Andreas’ Should Break Open A #1
Mad Max is getting more screens, but Pitch Perfect 2 has a PG-13 rating. Mad Max: Fury Road has been getting an almost disturbing amount of good reviews. The film currently has a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. And no, that’s … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Will The Box Get ‘Pitch’ Slapped, Or Is It ‘Mad’?
At the beginning of the year, I posted a list of the 25 most anticipated films (for me) this year. Of course, I hadn’t seen a lot of trailers, and some films weren’t yet on the calendar. With a few … Continue reading The 25 Films I’m Most Looking Forward To In 2015 (Updated)
