Furious 7 dropped a predictably large 59% in week 2. No matter, it is already the top grossing Furious film. Worldwide, the film has made 800M, and could be the first Universal release to break the 1 billion mark. The … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Furious 7’ Wins Again, ‘While We’re Young’ Cracks A Weak Top 10

Just to be clear, Fast and Furious 6 made 38.7 in its first day of release, which was in May, during a time of the year when movies open big. Furious 7 opened in April and made 67.3M in one … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Furious 7’ Explodes, Races Past ‘Furious 6’
Furious 7 is going to suck up a lot of oxygen in the room this weekend. Tracking has it at 115M, but I’m feeling ballsy. I’m gonna say all the good reviews, the “family” promos with Paul Walker, and the … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Furious 7’ Will Burn Lots Of Rubber This Weekend

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’
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?
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?
