Box Office Weekend: World Goes Jurassic Two Weeks In a Row
While it was only a few years ago that The Avengers was smashing box office records left and right, the sequel has now been overshadowed by the juggernaut of Jurassic World. The fourth film of the Jurassic Park series landed in the top spot for a second week in a row with an estimated $102 million and is likely to be the fastest movie to make $400 million by this week, the highest grossing film of...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Jurassic World a Dino-Sized Megahit
The lull that began June has ended.

Not to say overall that there were no successful films. Pitch Perfect 2, in second, made only an estimated $14.4 million, but...[Read More]
