In its place, Insidious Chapter 2 rallied the box office to spooky effect, bringing in an estimated $41.1 million. Even with critics claiming it is nowhere near as effective as the ori...[Read More]

First, Ben Affleck gets cast in the new Superman vs. Batman film; then it’s revealed that the movie will be filmed in the Detroit area – all great news for any Batfan living in Michigan like me. I think the best news is that the production will need abo...[Read More]

Even so, Riddick led a slow post-Labor Day weekend, and it could not manage to make back its relatively low $38 million co...[Read More]

The summer passed by quickly didn’t it? Remember when we were wondering whether Star Trek Into Darkness would be any good? Spoiler: It was. Or whether The Lone Ranger would be an uncontested box office champion? Another spoiler: It wasn’t. Or whether a movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters would appeal to audiences made up of more than just nerds? And how would Iron Man 3 perform as the...[Read More]
