The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Box Office Weekend: Frozen Tops the Box Office After Seven Weeks
As the first weekend of 2014 draws to a close, it is perhaps not surprising that not many new films made their debut with so many popular films from 2013 hogging the spotlight…at least, in wide release. But Frozen, one of two mighty veterans at the box office, managed to take the first-place spot with an estimated $20.7 million, enough to keep the only newcomer to the list, Paranormal Activity: Th...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Frozen Gets Boost, But Smaug Still King Under the Mountain
NOTE: While the rest of the box office listings are the reported estimates, Paramount does not plan on releasing their official numbers until January 3rd. Therefore, films released by Paramount (such as Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and The Wolf of Wall Street) have estimated domestic totals until further notice. Third week remains the charm for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Though stil...[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: The Hobbit Rides Desolation to the Top, But Not On the Wave It Wanted
While receiving mostly positive acclaim from critics and filmgoers alike, the second film in Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, earned an estimated $73.7 million in its weekend debut at the box office. While head and shoulders above the rest of its weekly competition, it did not come even close to the success of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (which took fo...[Read More]

Despite a drop in revenue, Disney’s latest, Frozen, managed to move up in the standings, taking the first-place spot after a small limited release and a second-place finish in its wide release debut, earning an estimated $31.6 million.

Box Office Weekend: Catching Fire Still Blazing; Can’t Be Cooled by Frozen
Much like its predecessor The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is not just trying to break box office records, but going on to be one of the big winners of 2013 as well. With an estimated $74.5 million for the weekend, it now sits in third place for highest domestic grosser of 2013…well shy of Despicable Me 2, but two or three more weeks of good performance might even topple that giant. Not to be outdo...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Catching Fire Not Just a Clever Name, Breaks Box Office Records
While Thor: The Dark World sizzled briefly at the box office (and had to settle this week for an estimated $14.1 million, still a few million short of its costs), it has nothing on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Much like the first film, it has earned critical and financial praise, and made an estimated $161.1 million…not only the best weekend for a film in November, but the best opening weekend...[Read More]
