Box Office Weekend: Maleficent Proving Bad Can Be Good for Business
Critics may not be wowed by its story, but plenty turned out to see the new spin on villainy in Maleficent. Angelina Jolie’s take on the Sleeping Beauty character was enough to bring in a solid estimated $70 million at the box office this weekend despite getting only mixed critical reception. X-Men: Days of Future Past fell from its lofty Memorial Day perch with only an estimated $32.6 million, bu...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: X-Men and Days of Future Past Do Fine in the Present
While perhaps not the biggest surprise of the Memorial Day weekend, X-Men: Days of Future Past is at least a welcome return to high earnings for the X-Men franchise. At an estimated $111 million for the four-day weekend, it did not surpass the earnings of the third film, X-Men: The Last Stand, but it has surpassed the first film in worldwide gross and likely to earn back its $200 million investmen...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Godzilla Stomps Competition with $93 Million
Yes, Godzilla has returned to theaters, and is making waves with critics and audiences alike, as the big fire-breathing lizard took in an estimated $93.2 million at the box office. While not enough to cover its $160 million budget, it still had a better opening all around than The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (which landed in third this week with an estimated $16.8 million). Still, it falls behind in net ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Spider-Man Drops and Neighbors Moves In
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has apparently had its big day at the box office as it fell to second place with an estimated $37.2 million. Its successor is Neighbors, the R-rated comedy starring Zac Efron and Seth Rogen. With an estimated $51.1 million, it made a strong start, especially considering it nearly tripled its production costs in a single weekend, and likely to do much better. Not that The A...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Spider-Man Is Amazing Once Again
Marvel struck gold at the box office twice this season with a debut only slightly less impressive than the one for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opened strongly with an estimated $92 million and blew away all comers to the box office, though it has not been as critically well-received as other recent Marvel films. However, it fared better with critics than The Other...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Captain America Falls to The Other Woman
While not winning the hearts of critics, The Other Woman managed to charm enough cash at the box office – an estimated $24.7 million – to finally push Captain America: The Winter Soldier (estimated $16 million) into second place. Not that the latest Marvel film has much to fear, considering its hefty domestic haul of $224.8 million alone is more than enough to make it a success. It is the current ...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Other Woman
First, let’s get something straight. If you choose to see a movie called The Other Woman, you should go into it understanding what it’s about – yes, the dreaded “other woman.” Ladies and gentlemen, you’re going to see a film that flaunts the raw force of a group of women suckered by the same damn guy. You’ll be celebrating the spirit of sisterhood. But you shouldn’t expect a sincerely feminist cin...[Read More]
