Yesterday, I did the “Worst” in film for 2015. Now, I’m going to make my way through the BEST in Film from 2015. Here are the first few categories. FUNNIEST FILM OF THE YEAR: Spy Ted 2 Cooties Trainwreck Pitch … Continue reading 2015 In Review: Best In Film Part 1
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
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
I’ve been inspired by EW’s list of their Top 10 films (or really, Chris Nashawaty’s list) of 2015. So far, I’ve seen 56 films released this year. I haven’t seen any of this weeks new releases yet. Their Top 10 … Continue reading The Top 10 Films Of 2015 (So Far)
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
Minions has scored an A cinemascore, and a number one spot, defeating both Jurassic World and Inside Out. It also will become the 4th film this year to make over 100M in its opening weekend. It’s been a banner year … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Minions’ An Instant Hit, Reynolds Clones A ‘Self/Less’ Flop
Minions is tracking strong. It’s already opened overseas, where it has grossed 124M already. Last weekend, Terminator Genisys did well internationally, but not well domestically. Minions seems to not be following that same model. A really aggressive marketing campaign has … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Minions’ About To Destroy Prehistoric Emotions
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
Terminator Genisys is tanking. It will debut below every Terminator film except the first Terminator. A B+ cinemascore is suggesting it won’t have legs either. It won’t fall off the face of the earth, but audiences are kind of echoing … Continue reading Friday Box Office: ‘Inside Out’ and ‘Jurassic’ Defeat Disappointing Newcomers
Magic Mike XXL is going to beat Terminator Genisys. Some people say the tracking is close, but Magic Mike XXL is tracking in women… and there isn’t anything else targeting women right now (except perhaps Spy, which isn’t doing a … Continue reading Weekend Box Office: ‘Magic’ At The Box Office? Or Time For A ‘Genisys’?
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
It’s possible that Jurassic World will remain on top for a third straight weekend. Ted 2 isn’t quite getting great reviews. The first one opened to 54M. I think we’ll be just below that, but enough below to take second … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Ted 2’ Set To Take On Emotions and Dinosaurs
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
Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Jude Law, Miranda Hart, Allison Janney, Morena Baccarin, Bobby Cannavale, Peter Serafinowicz, 50 Cent Directed By: Paul Feig Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy are a perfect team. She should avoid working with anyone … Continue reading Spy
