Box Office Weekend: Spider-Man Drops and Neighbors Moves In
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has apparently had its big day at the box office as it fell to second place with an estimated $37.2 million. Its successor is Neighbors, the R-rated comedy starring Zac Efron and Seth Rogen. With an estimated $51.1 million, it made a strong start, especially considering it nearly tripled its production costs in a single weekend, and likely to do much better. Not that The A...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Spider-Man Is Amazing Once Again
Marvel struck gold at the box office twice this season with a debut only slightly less impressive than the one for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opened strongly with an estimated $92 million and blew away all comers to the box office, though it has not been as critically well-received as other recent Marvel films. However, it fared better with critics than The Other...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Captain America Falls to The Other Woman
While not winning the hearts of critics, The Other Woman managed to charm enough cash at the box office – an estimated $24.7 million – to finally push Captain America: The Winter Soldier (estimated $16 million) into second place. Not that the latest Marvel film has much to fear, considering its hefty domestic haul of $224.8 million alone is more than enough to make it a success. It is the current ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Captain America Winters On Top Again
Captain America: The Winter Soldier needs no introductions, mostly because this is the third time it has held the box office. Its estimated $26.6 million was enough to hold off three new releases (which appeared to have underwhelmed critics) as well as push it into domestic profitability (while having passed half a billion worldwide). Rio 2 held up well for a second weekend with an estimated $22.5...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Captain America Doesn’t Surrender and Remains Top Draw
Looking at total domestic box office gross and budget costs, it seems strange that a big-name winner with critics and audiences alike, Captain America: The Winter Soldier (estimated $41.4 million) still has not made back its money on these shores just yet. Still, like much of the top ten, those numbers belie a worldwide take that is stunning, with the latest Marvel franchise entry earning a stunni...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Captain America Busts Up Domestic and Worldwide Box Office

Not only is the estimated $96.2 million of Captain America: The Winter Soldier the biggest opening ever for an April release, it is the biggest three-day opening weekend of 2014 so far, and worldwide the latest entry of the Marvel superhero franchise is doing even better, bringing in a grand total of $303.3 mil...[Read More]
Movies We Hate: Forrest Gump
