To some, the Christmas season is all about family, celebration, fun, presents, and the birth of Christ. Those are all important things, to be sure, but to me it just isn’t a proper Christmas unless I get to a specific batch of Christmas movies. Call it obsessive if you will, but tradition feels a bit more polite. My “traditional” Christmas flick picks are a tad on the eclectic side, ranging ...[Read More]

With the box office slowing this weekend (quite possibly in part due to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens next weekend), not much was able to make a splash…an ironic statement, maybe, as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 held off the Ron Howard epic In the Heart of the Sea for a fourth week stay in first. The account of the true story behind Moby Dick could barely mount an estimated ...[Read More]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 has certainly dropped in value, an estimated $18.6 million was all it had to show for this weekend, but it was enough to hold off all comers for a third week in a row. At $227.1 million in total gross, it is still likely a box office smash, but still the least-performing entry in the series. Compare that to Krampus, the horror/comedy about a cynical family ter...[Read More]
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 had what would be an excellent weekend for any other film – an estimated weekend take of $51.6 million – but with an unreported budget and nearly $198.3 million in the can domestically, one wonders if Lionsgate had hoped the movie would do better, especially as it has made much less than the previous films in the series. Unfortunately, rough beginnings appear ...[Read More]
