August 23, 2015 John Stark

Compton dropped 55% in week two, a bit harsher than predicted, but still managed to break past the 100M mark.

Friday Box Office: Not A ‘Fantastic’ Weekend

August 8, 2015 John Stark

It is entirely possible that Fantastic Four might not even debut in #1 this weekend. Bad word of mouth is causing Fantastic Four’s numbers to be hurt. Audiences have agreed with critics giving the film a C- cinemascore. That’s really … Continue reading Friday Box Office: Not A ‘Fantastic’ Weekend

Box Office Predictions: ‘Fantastic’ Weekend Ahead?

August 5, 2015 John Stark

After enduring bad press and weirdly bad advance word of mouth, Fantastic Four will try to pull an “against all odds” this weekend and open big. I don’t think it can open too big. We’ve seen this story before. The … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Fantastic’ Weekend Ahead?

July 27, 2015July 27, 2015 John Stark

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

Box Office Predictions: ‘Pixels’ Fight For 1st

July 22, 2015 John Stark

Box Office Predictions: ‘Ant Man’ Should Grow Past ‘Minions’

July 15, 2015 John Stark

I’ve predicted a few films going big that flopped. My Terminator Genisys/Magic Mike XXL weekend was way off. I’m choosing again to be a little bold and not go with safe predictions. I think when people say 60M for Ant-Man, … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Ant Man’ Should Grow Past ‘Minions’
