On that same note, Insidious Chapter 3 was down from the opening weekend of Insidious Chapter 2. Insidious Chapter … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: Melissa McCarthy Grabs #1, ‘Chapter 3’ Ends Up In 3rd
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
Glowing reviews for Spy, and the idea that this is the kind of star vehicle we’ve been waiting to give Melissa McCarthy, should propel Spy to a solid #1 victory this weekend. San Andreas will dip into the #2 spot. … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Spy’ Will Suck The Air Out Of The ‘Entourage’
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.

The sky is not falling. Tomorrowland opened to 41.7M over the 4 day weekend, a number that is pretty fantastic considering how four other films did this weekend, and that Tomorrowland is technically an original film and not based on … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Tomorrowland’ Wins, Sky Isn’t Falling
Tomorrowland, despite mixed reviews, will win the weekend. It just won’t be a huge sweeping victory.
