G.I. Joe: Retaliation

In recognition of the release of Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," here is a look at the ten highest-grossing movies based on toys that have been made (so far at least).
Box Office Weekend: Box Office Gain for Mild Critical Pain as Michael Bay’s Caper Takes Top Spot
To say that Pain & Gain is getting mixed critical praise is perhaps an understatement; it is Michael Bay’s best reviewed movie since Transformers, but then, Transformers was not a critical success.

On a low (for Bay anyway) budget of only $26 million, Pain & Gain has already made an estimat...[Read More]

Scoring a strong estimated $26 million in revenue, th...[Read More]

Joe: Retaliation came out, it was way more impressive-looking than I had expected, and I...[Read More]
