Box Office Weekend: The Martian Rides High Again
How does a film that dropped out of first place regain that spot? Put it up against a handful of duds. While some of them failed to make the list (Bill Murray in Rock the Kasbah did not even finish close to the list, and neither did the 1980s cartoon adaptation Jem and the Holograms), even the horror-themed films failed to stop The Martian from riding high at the box office once more with an estim...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: The Box Office Gets Goosebumps
As we reach the midpoint of October, it seems strange that not only are there a dearth of horror-themed films in theaters, but that of the three in the top ten, two of them are aimed primarily at children. And of those two, both have topped the box office at one point. This week, Goosebumps is the winner. Based on the R.L. Stine series of books for children, the family-friendly scare fest brought ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Martian Remains Ahead of the Game
The Martian not only remained the top draw at the box office, its estimated $37 million over the weekend brings its worldwide totals to $227.8 million; enough to ensure the widely acclaimed film is a box office success. Hotel Transylvania 2, as well, entered its second week with an estimated $20.3 million and an even higher domestic gross than The Martian, and almost as successful worldwide. Pan, ...[Read More]

Charlie Kaufman writes about his fictiona...[Read More]

Premise: In the aftermath of the attack on MI6, a cryptic message sets in motion ev...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: The Martian Conquers the Box Office
While not the horror movie the title conjures up, October began with a strong start thanks to The Martian. With an estimated $55 million, director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon have been earning high marks from critics and audiences, though it will probably need a few more weekends like this if it hopes to make back its $108 million in costs. In fact, very little in release conjures up the spooks an...[Read More]
