Box Office Weekend: Straight Outta Compton Wins Again
Critics are raving about it, and audiences agree – Straight Outta Compton is a winner, with a second weekend in the first-place spot with an estimated $26.8 million. Domestically, it has made $111.5 million, gaining ground on Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, which took in an estimated $11.7 million in its fourth week and $157.8 million in domestic gross. While neither is a certified success (on...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Straight Outta Compton Goes Straight Up the Chart
Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation may still be doing decent enough business in its third week with an estimated $17 million, but the movie of the weekend is the critically acclaimed biopic Straight Outta Compton. With an estimated $56.1 million, the rise of rapping sensations N.W.A. led the weekend in a big way, much more so than the lackluster opening of the mildly acclaimed The Man from U.N.C.L...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mission: Impossible Keeps Steady; Fantastic Four Proves A Bit Rocky
The latest superheroes to get a reboot were ready to storm the box office, and failed to even break the second week returns of Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, which had a less than stellar start to begin with. Still, the Tom Cruise action thriller, with an estimated $29.4 million, is remaining fairly strong here and overseas, while Fantastic Four opened with an estimated $26.2 million, low ove...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: An Impossible Mission? Not for Cruise
With a strong advertising blitz and J.J. Abrams in a producing chair, it seemed almost certain that Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation would be a top box office draw – and it was, reaching first with an estimated $56 million and garnering all sort of praise. And while it has opened very well compared to the previous Mission: Impossible films (second only to Mission: Impossible II), it has strangel...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Ant-Man Takes on Adam Sandler and Wins
Adam Sandler, regardless of the quality of his movies, is almost always a sure bet at the box office. However, his latest, Pixels, opened not only to poor reviews, but to a poor opening estimate of $24 million and below Ant-Man and its second week estimated take of $24.7 million. Also, in a stunning turn of events, nearly every movie in the top ten revealed its budget numbers, and as it turns out,...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Ant-Man Tough, But Diminutive Against Summer
It took the weekend box office and by all accounts is likely to be a decent haul for Marvel, but Ant-Man, at an estimated $58 million is the lowest-earning weekend since 2008, bested (or is that worsted?) by The Incredible Hulk and its $55 million. It is also the only film in the top ten to report its budget, and at $130 million, will likely be a worldwide success, if not a domestic one. Despite a...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Minions Are Sidekicks to No One
Jurassic World appears to have seen the beginning of the end, taking in an estimated fifth week total of $18.1 million for second place. The winner was Minions, which stormed the box office with an estimated $115.2 million total. Granted, the top three are nothing if not successful, with Jurassic World the fourth most successful domestic film of all time with $590.6 million brought in so far, and ...[Read More]
Movie Review: Minions
This just in, in case you hadn’t heard, kids like movies too. After the success of Despicable Me (2010) and its sequel, Despicable Me II (2012), it was inevitable that we would see more little yellow fellows doing hilarious things while making the oddest of sounds. Since no summer movie season would be complete without several films made especially for children, we’re treated to the third entry in...[Read More]
