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]
Box Office Weekend: Kung Fu Panda 3 Holds Against a Conquering Caesar
While many may have skipped the theater on Sunday to catch the Super Bowl (as evidenced by the lowest box office earning weekend of the year), there is still a handful of debuts that tried their best to catch an audience. Critics are finding mostly good things to say about the latest Coen Brothers film, Hail, Caesar!, and though it did middling against its $22 million budget by opening in second p...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Family-Friendly Kung Fu Panda 3 Takes Weekend
There was no battle, no contest, nor were a flurry of blows necessary as Kung Fu Panda 3 took the weekend box office with no real competition with an estimated $41 million. Though the weakest start for the franchise domestically, the latest entry looks set to rake it in big in overseas dollars, as have the previous films, already bringing in $116.7 million in worldwide gross. The Revenant, too, is...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Revenant Comes Back to Take the Top Spot
Fortunes are reviving for The Revenant. After a stint in second, it bypassed the competition to hold the top spot of the weekend with an estimated $16 million. While it is a rough victory (this weekend is the slowest weekend of 2016 so far), Oscar buzz and word of mouth are giving the film some much-needed revenue here and abroad. In second this week, Star Wars: The Force Awakens needs no help as ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Ride Along 2 Finally Derails Star Wars Juggernaut
It took the weekend, but not the hearts of critics. Ride Along 2, the sequel to the surprise comedy hit of 2014 (though equally lambasted by critics), opened to lower numbers than the previous film with an estimated $34 million, enough to keep away The Revenant (estimated $29.5 million), which still flags behind its costs despite getting good business here and overseas. However, Star Wars: The For...[Read More]
