Box Office Weekend: Tomorrowland Wins Memorial Day “Weak-End”
How did Disney and the star power of George Clooney do this weekend? The answer, a big resounding “meh.” Despite costing $190 million, the next Disney summer blockbuster led a very lackluster Memorial Day weekend, earning only an estimated $41.7 million. In comparison, Pitch Perfect 2 made an estimated $38.5 million for its second weekend, and has broken past the $100 million mark in revenue. Even...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Almost Perfect for Pitch Perfect 2
Critical acclaim is not always everything. This weekend, the highly acclaimed fell to second against the mildly acclaimed. Pitch Perfect 2 has received a warm reception and a whopping estimated $70.3 million in its opening weekend, beating out Mad Max: Fury Road, which had an incredible critical reception but only a mild estimated $44.4 million weekend – enough to get a head start on its $150 mill...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Week 4 Isn’t Weak for Furious 7
Fourth time is the charm? It certainly seems to be for Furious 7, which held on to the first-place spot for a fourth week in a row. While it is now only bringing in a fraction of its opening day income (an estimated $18.3 million), it has become the highest grossing film of the franchise and a top contender for the year…although it will have stiff competition next weekend in The Avengers: Age of U...[Read More]
