The final number for the 2017 North American box office haul will decline by about 2.5% from last year’s record-setting $11.38 billion — even with “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” adding more than $400 million. As of Christmas Day, the domestic total for the year was $10.68 billion, or 2.7% behind the same time frame a year ago. The final six days of 2017 are … Continue reading 2017 U.S. Box Office Set to Fall to Three-Year Low!!!
For the second year in a row, Disney has nabbed the domestic box office crown, with $2.27 billion already banked in 2017 thanks to its one-two punch of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Beauty and the Beast.” As of Dec. 25, Disney had a 21.3% market share compared with Warner Bros. at 18.9% and $2.02 billion, according to box office tracker comScore. That gap … Continue reading Disney Becomes Box Office Champ for Second Year in Row!!!
The John Wick series has evolved from sleeper hit to summer tentpole for Lionsgate. The first film opened in October 2015, the second film opened in February 2017, and now we have a release date for the third installment. THR’s Borys Kit’s reports that John Wick: Chapter 3 has been set for May 17, 2019. That’s a pretty big jump for a film that started … Continue reading ‘John Wick: Chapter 3’ Is Ready to Shoot Summer 2019 in the Head!!
This is what makes Disney such a powerhouse. “Beauty and the Beast,” the studio’s latest live-action update of a cartoon classic, waltzed its way to a towering $170 million debut this weekend, setting a new record for a March opening and solidifying the Mouse House’s status as the dominant player in the film business. No other company can match the streak that Disney is currently … Continue reading ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Roars with Tremendous $170 Million Take at the BO!!!
Warner Bros and Legendary‘s Kong: Skull Island delivered a strong opening weekend performance, topping the weekend box office and becoming the third film in as many weeks to outperform expectations. The other two films, Logan and Get Out, continued their successful runs as they finished in second and third position respectfully, with Logan just $6.3 million shy of topping The LEGO Batman Movie as the … Continue reading ‘Kong: Skull Island’ Roars to $61M Opening While ‘Logan’ and ‘Get Out’ Continue Strong At The BO!!!
This weekend, we thought that Logan had pulled in $85.3 million domestically, but it turns out those estimates were a bit shy of the final number. Logan, a dour, R-rated superhero film that prefers Western tropes to comic book ones, nabbed $88.3 million at the box office in the U.S. That number blows the opening weekend for the PG-13 X-Men: Apocalypse, $65.8 million, out of … Continue reading ‘Logan’ Outperforms Initial Box Office Report; Sets March R-Rated Opening Record!!!
Fox‘s Logan may be about old age and winding things down but the film’s potent $85.3 million take over the weekend proves there’s life in the old Wolverine yet. While it wasn’t the biggest R-rated opening weekend of all time, (Deadpool, who snuck into theaters in a preview/snippet with Logan, still claims that title) everyone involved has to be pleased with the results. James Mangold‘s … Continue reading ‘Logan’ Triumphs with $85 Million Take, While Other Releases Are Steady At The BO!!!
Blumhouse‘s Get Out, the Jordan Peele horror/comedy/social commentary, parlayed its glowing critical reception for a stunning $30.5 million Oscar weekend in 2,781 theaters and a very respectable $10,976 per-screen average. The other new films, Lionsgate/Summit‘s animated flick, Rock Dog, at $3.7 million, fell just outside of the top 10, while the critically-derided inanimate Collide, from Open Road, spun out at $1.53 million in 2,045 theaters … Continue reading ‘Get Out’ Scares Off Competition on Oscar Weekend to Earn $30.5 Million at the BO!!
The LEGO Batman Movie topped the weekend box office for a second week in a row, holding off a trio of newcomers led by Universal‘s The Great Wall. Fellow new releases, Fist Fight and particularly Fox‘s A Cure for Wellness, fizzled in their respective debuts as the start of 2017’s Presidents’ Day weekend saw the top twelve come in 47% behind last year. While that … Continue reading ‘LEGO Batman’ Tops Again as ‘The Great Wall’ Leads Newcomers With Poor Openings at the BO!!
It was the best weekend at the 2017 box office so far, led by WB‘s The LEGO Batman Movie along with fellow newcomers Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter Two topping the box office in that order. But along with the new releases, five of the weekend’s holdovers, especially Lion, held on extremely well, dropping 35% or less compared to last weekend. Overall the … Continue reading ‘LEGO Batman’ Tops With With $55.6 Million While ‘Fifty Shades Darker’ and ‘John Wick 2’ Open Strong at the BO!!!
Synopsis – After returning to the criminal underworld to repay a debt, John Wick discovers that a large bounty has been put on his life. My Take – The original 2014 film was a great surprise mainly as it really blew most of the film going public away, concentrating on tight action and creating a cool world to explore. The film accomplished what Hong Kong … Continue reading John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) Review!!!

Not many surprises this Super Bowl weekend as Universal‘s Split finished #1 for a third straight weekend in a row while the new releases struggled out of the gates. Between the new releases, Paramount‘s Rings did manage a second place finish despite largely negative reviews while STX‘s The Space Between Us, floundered and finished well below expectations. Overall, the top twelve grossed an estimated $81.1 … Continue reading ‘Split’ Threepeats Over Super Bowl Weekend as ‘Rings’ and ‘Space Between Us’ Fumble At the BO!!

Lionsgate has unveiled the first clip from John Wick: Chapter 2, and it includes a VERY MUCH ALIVE canine companion, just so you know.

The hype train for John Wick: Chapter 2 is picking up steam after the weekend brought the arrival of the first official trailer for the upcoming action sequel. Setting Keanu Reeves‘ cutthroat assassin against newcomers like Common (who will play another expert killer-for-hire), Ruby Rose and Laurence Fishburne along with returning cast like Ian McShane, so far, John Wick 2 looks to be shaping up rather swimmingly. Director Chad Stahelski, who previously worked with Fishburne and Reeves on the Matrix trilogy as a stunt … Continue reading ‘John Wick 3’ Already in the Works!!
