Warner Bros.‘s The Accountant stormed well ahead of BoxOfficeMojo‘s weekend forecast to finish #1 for the weekend. The Ben Affleck starrer more than than doubled its closest competition, which found a pair of Universal titles competing for second place between the debut of Kevin Hart: What Now? and last weekend’s #1 film, The Girl on the Train.

Deepwater Horizon (2016) Review!!!

Synopsis – A story set on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, which exploded during April 2010 and created the worst oil spill in U.S. history. My Take – I have always enjoyed director Peter Berg‘s films, even the not-so-well received films like Battleship & The Rundown. Hancock, The Kingdom and of course, Lone Survivor are among my favorites from his work. Here he reunites with Lone Survivor … Continue reading Deepwater Horizon (2016) Review!!!

‘Miss Peregrine’ and ‘Deepwater’ Open Well, While ‘Masterminds’ Stumbles At The BO!!

This weekend ultimately turned out very much as expected with Fox‘s Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and Lionsgate‘s Deepwater Horizon debuting in the #1 and #2 spots respectively. Fellow new opener, Relativity‘s Masterminds, was unable to score in the double-digit millions in its debut and Disney‘s Queen of Katwe fell short in its expansion.
