Box Office Weekend: Avengers: Age of Ultron Holds Second Week
It was one thing to hold major draw on a weekend with no other new releases…but it is probably no surprise that even this week’s newcomers made little headway against Avengers: Age of Ultron. Up against an estimated second week take of $77.2 million and $312.6 million in total box-office revenue, nothing else stood much of a chance…especially the poorly received Hot Pursuit.

Box Office Weekend: Box Office Definitely Avenged
There will likely be much speculation about the fact that Avengers: Age of Ultron failed to top the original film in its opening weekend at the box office. Never mind that the latest Marvel offering still made an estimated $187.7 million at the box office and has already grossed $626.7 million worldwide, putting it in closer company to previous champ Furious 7 (which settled for third place this w...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Week 4 Isn’t Weak for Furious 7
Fourth time is the charm? It certainly seems to be for Furious 7, which held on to the first-place spot for a fourth week in a row. While it is now only bringing in a fraction of its opening day income (an estimated $18.3 million), it has become the highest grossing film of the franchise and a top contender for the year…although it will have stiff competition next weekend in The Avengers: Age of U...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 Bests Paul Blart
Even with three major debuts, very little can stop the car-crunching excess of Furious 7, which held the top spot at the box office yet again for a third week with an estimated $29.1 million. However, despite the fact the film has now made over a billion dollars in worldwide revenue, the weekend is beginning to show cracks, as second-place finisher Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 came close with an estimat...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 Keeps On Trucking
It is only April, and already Furious 7 is on track to become the movie to beat in terms of sheer gross income. It dropped in revenue by nearly 60%, but an estimated $60.6 million is still more than most films make in their first weekend, let alone their second. It is by far the top earner of the top ten ($252.5 million domestic, $800.5 million worldwide), winning out handily against Home (estimat...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Furious 7 an April Success Story
For anyone who ever said sequels are tired, old, and only a matter of diminishing returns, there is the Fast and the Furious franchise. Only getting more and more critically acclaimed as each new entry comes out, the latest, Furious 7, not only did well with critics, but at an absolutely bang-up estimated weekend of $143.6 million broke numerous April box office records and is already poised to be...[Read More]
