Box-Office Weekend: Moana Dominates Again
"Moana 2" held the number one spot of the box-office weekend for a second consecutive week by $17.1 million, despite five newcomers cracking the top ten.
Box Office Weekend: Exodus King for Now, But May Abdicate Soon
Director Ridley Scott may be pleased about his Exodus: Gods and Kings is in first place at the box office with an estimated $24.5 million; however, it is an extremely weak start to the $140 million epic (even with overseas box office), and with a critical slamming it cannot compete with the likes of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Even at only an estimated $13.2 million in its fourth week, ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Only Good Part of a Bad Weekend
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is certainly having fun laughing at the competition; as it picked up a comparatively paltry estimated $21.6 million in its third week of release (and consequently, third week as box office champ), it is very likely to become, by next weekend, the second highest grossing domestic release of the year. Ironically, it presides over the second worst-earning weekend...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Remains Top Flyer
Leave it to two birds to soar high at the box office over a handful of turkeys this Thanksgiving weekend. In only its second week, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is already the seventh highest grossing domestic film of the year, and while its estimated $56.9 million is well below its $121.9 million opening weekend (which is almost as much as it cost to make, it has been revealed), it is sti...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Has Biggest Opening of 2014
While it may be strange to think that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 failed to live up to the financial openings of the previous two films, it did not stop it from being the biggest box office opening weekend of 2014. At an estimated $123 million, it trounced the big four Marvel entries of the year, the reboot of Godzilla, and even Transformers: Age of Extinction, though it has yet to relea...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: America Loves Dumb
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels returned to the big screen 20 years later with Dumb and Dumber To, to most critics’ chagrin. Still, for such a late-coming sequel, it did remarkably well, its estimated opening of $38.1 million more than doubled the original film’s opening weekend (whether it comes close to topping Dumb and Dumber’s $127.2 million domestic gross, though, is the real test). It held tight...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Big Hero 6 Is the Big Hero at the Box Office
Two new releases gave a dipping box office just the push it needed as two critically acclaimed films, Big Hero 6 and Interstellar, came up with the numbers to pick up a lousy October (though not enough to make them domestically successful). Big Hero 6 made a splash with an estimated $56.2 million and Interstellar gained an estimated $50 million, though amazingly both were budgeted the same at a ma...[Read More]
