Box Office Weekend: Finding Dory Tops Again
The latest Disney Pixar release is doing just swimmingly (at least, in the United States), as Finding Dory grows ever closer to a $300 million domestic haul with an estimated $73.2 million at the box office this past weekend. Its second week totals overshadowed the release of Independence Day: Resurgence. The panned sequel to the 1996 megahit opened with an estimated $41.6 million, but at a $165 m...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Audiences Find Dory Delightful
The box office is big again. In the best weekend since the beginning of May (when Captain America: Civil War was released), Finding Dory took the top spot, and it was by a wide margin: at an estimated $136.2 million, it was the biggest opening for a PG-rated film in history. At an estimated $34.5 million second-place finisher Central Intelligence fell much further behind in gross, but the buddy co...[Read More]

I still have fond memories of riding my bike to the Fox Village Theater to see the original live action flick multiple times. Hell, I even had the movie no...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mutants Lose Box Office to Mutants?
Last week, the Marvel mutants ruled the roost. But, in its second week, X-Men: Apocalypse slipped to second with an estimated $22.3 million, though worldwide the film has done decent, if not explosive, business. First place went to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which pulled in an estimated $35.3 million. Unfortunately, at $135 million to make and only $69.3 million earned world...[Read More]
