The Martian has another weekend win while Pan bombs at the BO!!

It was a weekend of highs and lows, with the lows coming from the more-disappointing-than-expected opening weekend for Warner Bros’ Pan. The Peter Pan origin story directed by Joe Wright was struggling to gain a foothold well before its opening weekend and opened even worse than even the most dire predictions expected.

The Walk opens low on IMAX & The Martian opens big with $55 million at the BO!!

The talk of The Martian breaking Gravity‘s October, opening weekend record began early and really spiked after the Ridley Scott film posted a better opening day than the 2013 Alfonso Cuaron sci-fi flick. However, estimates show The Martian coming up a shade shy of the $55.7 million October record. Provisioned with an “A” CinemaScore, though, this one should survive well week-to-week. 20th Century Fox is … Continue reading The Walk opens low on IMAX & The Martian opens big with $55 million at the BO!!

Everest (2015) Review!!

Synopsis – A climbing expedition on Mt. Everest is devastated by a severe snow storm. My Take – As the year is coming to a closure, we get yet another disaster flick with a huge star cast backing it up. What makes it different? Well (in my opinion) its a more human story, rather than just being a delicious VFX spectacle! Just like Gravity (2013), … Continue reading Everest (2015) Review!!
