Box Office Weekend: San Andreas Shakes Up Weekend Box Office
May started with a bang, but ends on a whimper. After Avengers: Age of Ultron started things off with a massive weekend, only San Andreas rode high to finish things off with an estimated $53.2 million at the box office this past weekend, while little else made much headway. Not to say overall that there were no successful films. Pitch Perfect 2, in second, made only an estimated $14.4 million, but...[Read More]
New Crimson Peak Trailer Surfaces

New Jem and the Holograms Trailer Released
Every generation needs a voice, and Universal Pictures is hoping that this particular voice can bridge the generation gap. Jem and the Holograms – Jem, Kimber, Aja, and Shana – are back in a new film called simply Jem and the Holograms. The new trailer has been released and it looks like it could be a fairly entertaining interpretation of the animated series. But, judge for yourself. ABOUT THE FIL...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Tomorrowland Wins Memorial Day “Weak-End”
How did Disney and the star power of George Clooney do this weekend? The answer, a big resounding “meh.” Despite costing $190 million, the next Disney summer blockbuster led a very lackluster Memorial Day weekend, earning only an estimated $41.7 million. In comparison, Pitch Perfect 2 made an estimated $38.5 million for its second weekend, and has broken past the $100 million mark in revenue. Even...[Read More]
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Trailer Debuts
The new trailer for the second installment of the Maze Runner saga, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, was released today. The trailer promises a darker, more politically-charged world than was delivered in the first film. While the use-your-wits to survive plot is still there, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials appears as though it will flesh out both the characters and their environs, as well as delive...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Almost Perfect for Pitch Perfect 2
Critical acclaim is not always everything. This weekend, the highly acclaimed fell to second against the mildly acclaimed. Pitch Perfect 2 has received a warm reception and a whopping estimated $70.3 million in its opening weekend, beating out Mad Max: Fury Road, which had an incredible critical reception but only a mild estimated $44.4 million weekend – enough to get a head start on its $150 mill...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Avengers: Age of Ultron Holds Second Week
It was one thing to hold major draw on a weekend with no other new releases…but it is probably no surprise that even this week’s newcomers made little headway against Avengers: Age of Ultron. Up against an estimated second week take of $77.2 million and $312.6 million in total box-office revenue, nothing else stood much of a chance…especially the poorly received Hot Pursuit. Sofia Verg...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Box Office Definitely Avenged
There will likely be much speculation about the fact that Avengers: Age of Ultron failed to top the original film in its opening weekend at the box office. Never mind that the latest Marvel offering still made an estimated $187.7 million at the box office and has already grossed $626.7 million worldwide, putting it in closer company to previous champ Furious 7 (which settled for third place this w...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Week 4 Isn’t Weak for Furious 7
Fourth time is the charm? It certainly seems to be for Furious 7, which held on to the first-place spot for a fourth week in a row. While it is now only bringing in a fraction of its opening day income (an estimated $18.3 million), it has become the highest grossing film of the franchise and a top contender for the year…although it will have stiff competition next weekend in The Avengers: Age of U...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 Bests Paul Blart
Even with three major debuts, very little can stop the car-crunching excess of Furious 7, which held the top spot at the box office yet again for a third week with an estimated $29.1 million. However, despite the fact the film has now made over a billion dollars in worldwide revenue, the weekend is beginning to show cracks, as second-place finisher Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 came close with an estimat...[Read More]
