Box Office Weekend: Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Burns Up the Box Office
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials may be the winner at the box office with an estimated $30.3 million, but it failed to make much headway with critics, nor did it manage to top the previous film and its $32.5 million opening (though it will likely do well with overseas dollars). Interestingly, the real winner of the box office may well be second-place finisher Black Mass. With an estimated $23.4 mill...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Three Weeks In and Straight Outta Compton Is Still A Hit
Straight Outta Compton has proven itself box office champ again and, with an estimated $13.2 million this past week, a monetary winner as well. At $134.1 million in domestic earnings so far, it has blown away its $28 million costs. The closest contender was newcomer War Room, a faith-based film lambasted by critics, but at an estimated $11 million for the weekend more than made back its $3 million...[Read More]
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]
