The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Box Office Weekend: Audiences Taken for a Third Time
Critics may have been very much unimpressed with the Liam Neeson-helmed Taken 3, but audiences made the latest in the action-thriller franchise a box office hit over the weekend. With an estimated $40.4 million, nothing else came close, even the acclaimed Selma, which entered wide release this week and earned an estimated $11.2 million. Still, both films made strong bids against their production c...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Hobbit On Top for a Third Time
The numbers have spoken, and The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies is still the lowest earning of the Peter Jackson Middle Earth films…still, when the lowest earner remained in first at the box office for the third week in a row, picked up an estimated $21.9 million, and has earned $220.8 million in domestic box office alone, it is not a particularly bad track record. However, 2015 is off to...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Hobbit Stays On Top
While it may have had a comparatively rough ride (and remains the lowest-earning of the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings movies), The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies proved Hobbits can still be surprising, earning an estimated $41.4 million, losing a little less than a quarter of the opening weekend audience and raking in $168.5 million in domestic earnings (and a hefty $573.6 million in worldwide take,...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Final Hobbit Looms Large Above the Competition
After a long road, The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies brings the latest Peter Jackson trilogy to an end. Weathering both praise and criticism (especially in comparison to his previous Lord of the Rings films), it may be somewhat understandable that, while it took first place at the box office with an estimated $56.2 million, it falls below the revenue of any of his previous Middle Earth-based f...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Exodus King for Now, But May Abdicate Soon
Director Ridley Scott may be pleased about his Exodus: Gods and Kings is in first place at the box office with an estimated $24.5 million; however, it is an extremely weak start to the $140 million epic (even with overseas box office), and with a critical slamming it cannot compete with the likes of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Even at only an estimated $13.2 million in its fourth week, ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Only Good Part of a Bad Weekend
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is certainly having fun laughing at the competition; as it picked up a comparatively paltry estimated $21.6 million in its third week of release (and consequently, third week as box office champ), it is very likely to become, by next weekend, the second highest grossing domestic release of the year. Ironically, it presides over the second worst-earning weekend...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Remains Top Flyer
Leave it to two birds to soar high at the box office over a handful of turkeys this Thanksgiving weekend. In only its second week, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is already the seventh highest grossing domestic film of the year, and while its estimated $56.9 million is well below its $121.9 million opening weekend (which is almost as much as it cost to make, it has been revealed), it is sti...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Mockingjay Has Biggest Opening of 2014
While it may be strange to think that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 failed to live up to the financial openings of the previous two films, it did not stop it from being the biggest box office opening weekend of 2014. At an estimated $123 million, it trounced the big four Marvel entries of the year, the reboot of Godzilla, and even Transformers: Age of Extinction, though it has yet to relea...[Read More]
