Transformers: The Last Knight
Summer Movie Recap (2017 Edition)

Box Office Weekend: Apes Best Wall Crawler to Take Box Office
The latest film in the Planet of the Apes series, War for the Planet of the Apes debuted in first place this weekend with an estimated $56.5 million.

The Preview Reel: Transformers: The Last Knight
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming movie releases. Cars 3 zoomed to the top spot this past weekend with a decent $53 million showing, but there’s a new beast debuting this weekend that should easily take over the top spot. Studios fled at the sight of the latest Transformers movie as The Last Knight is the only wide release debuting this weekend. Wil...[Read More]
