Box Office Weekend: Batman v Superman Plummets But Remains On Top
Finally feeling the effects of its critical reception, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice took a major nosedive, dropping to an estimated $52.4 million for its second weekend. However, the $250 million budgeted film has managed to draw major ticket sales, bringing in $261.5 million domestically and $682.9 million worldwide. Zootopia, in the meantime, has been a bit more successful overall in its f...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Batman v Superman Heroic at the Box Office
Critics may have had sharp words for the latest superhero movie (this time from DC Comics rather than Marvel Studios), but even that word of mouth could not stop Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from having a bang up weekend. With an estimated domestic haul of $170.1 million (and $421.4 million worldwide), and the highest opening weekend for a March release, it is still looking to be a financial...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Zootopia Big Three Weeks Running
Zootopia proved itself a box office champ as it entered its third week at the top with an estimated $38 million (and over $201.8 million in domestic gross). Its only real competition came from the third installment of The Divergent Series: Allegiant, which came in second place with an estimated $29.1 million. Excoriated by critics, it managed to top the mixed reviewed faith-based Miracles from Hea...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Zootopia Still on “Topia”
Disney has a bona-fide hit on its hands again as Zootopia won the weekend box office for the second time in a row. While an estimated $50 million has added up to $142.6 million domestic gross, the film has picked up more than $431.3 million worldwide. The next biggest release was 10 Cloverfield Lane. Critically acclaimed, it opened to a much more modest weekend estimate of $25.2 million, but with ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Zootopia Tops with Audiences
Earning critical praise and audience acclaim was not enough…Zootopia, the latest from Disney, also took the mantle of highest opening weekend for an animated Disney film (at least, not involving Pixar) with an estimated $73.7 million. Not looking quite so tall was second-place finisher London Has Fallen. Despite critical bashing and a fairly weak opening weekend estimate of $21.7 million on a $60 ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Gods of Egypt No Match for Deadpool
Big, noisy, and hollow. While that might easily describe the critical reaction to Gods of Egypt, only the last can truly describe its box office take. While the solid earner and acclaimed Deadpool took the weekend yet again with an estimated $31.5 million, the $140 million-costing blockbuster Gods of Egypt failed on all fronts, bringing in a domestic estimated total of $14 million and not much els...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Deadpool Rides High for Second Week
Considering its big opening last week and critical praise, there was not much room for doubt that Deadpool would score big once again. Pulling in an estimated $55 million, it finished head and shoulders over the competition, keeping Kung Fu Panda 3 in second place with an estimated $12.5 million. While still not the success of the previous films, Kung Fu Panda 3 has still pulled in $117.1 million ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Deadpool Wins Hearts and Big Time Box Office
An R-rated superhero movie is always a bit of a gamble, for while many find their audiences in cult appeal long after the fact, few of them prove bankable at the box office, and even fewer prove hits with critics. However, Deadpool upped the bar with not only a smash opening for any movie, but critical praise as well. Its estimated $135.1 million broke past its $58 million budget and easily took t...[Read More]
