Box Office Weekend: $100 Million for Hunger Games…But Is It Starving?
While many movies would kill for an estimated $101 million opening weekend at the box office, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 might have been wishing for a little more…after a dip in the franchise with the last movie, this latest entry opened at nearly $20 million less. While unlikely to be considered a flop (it is getting decent enough reviews, and the worldwide gross for the franchis...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Place…First Place Again for Spectre
At $245 million in costs, it had quite the hurdle to overcome. But thanks to the worldwide popularity of James Bond, Spectre has become a box office success. With an estimated $35.4 million in domestic weekend gross, it has brought in $543.8 million worldwide with many more weeks left to go. In the meantime, while The Peanuts Movie is staying in a strong second place with an estimated $24.2 millio...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Spectre Revives Box Office
After last week proved to be the weakest box office in some time, James Bond returned for a smashing weekend to raising flagging hopes. At an estimated $73 million, Spectre won the top spot handsomely, but the film will have a lot of work to do to make back its $245 million production costs, even counting worldwide take. The same holds true for the critically acclaimed The Peanuts Movie. At a cost...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Martian Tops Worst Box Office Weekend of 2015
While Halloween weekend tends to be a slower weekend than usual, it proved to be the slowest weekend of the year at the box office (at least so far). So slow, in fact, that the top three films include two winners and two potential box-office flops. The Martian is a worldwide hit, earning an estimated $11.4 million on the weekend, but Goosebumps, with an estimated $10.2 million, has a long ways to ...[Read More]
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]
Movie Review: Bridge of Spies
The Tom Hanks-starring period piece Bridge of Spies is Steven Spielberg’s best and most entertaining film since…well, his last Tom Hanks-starring period piece. In the decade-plus since the delightful Catch Me If You Can, Spielberg’s made good starchy period pieces (Lincoln), dull starchy period pieces (War Horse) and a few old-school adventure pictures that still can’t shake a certain sedateness (...[Read More]
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks Revisit the Cold War in Bridge of Spies
A dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, DreamWorks Pictures/Fox 2000 Pictures’ Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Steven Spielberg, tells the story of James Donovan, a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pi...[Read More]
