Thanks to some stronger-than-expected performances, this weekend ended up better than Mojo‘s forecast and yet, this is still the worst three-day Labor Day weekend in twelve years.

Logan Lucky (2017) Review!!!

Synopsis – Two brothers attempt to pull off a heist during a NASCAR race in North Carolina. My Take – I have special kind of admiration for filmmaker Steven Soderbergh as his 2001 film, Ocean’s Eleven, a remake of the 1960 heist caper, was the first the adult oriented film I saw on the big screen. With films like Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Magic Mike, Contagion … Continue reading Logan Lucky (2017) Review!!!

No need to sugar coat it, this was a miserable weekend. The combined gross of the top twelve failed to total over $50 million, something that hasn’t happened in an August weekend in over 20 years. In fact, the combined $49 million for the top twelve is the worst since the top twelve combined for $43.5 million in late September 2001. Making matters worse, with … Continue reading ‘Hitman’s Bodyguard’ Repeats at #1 as New Releases Fail at the BO!!!
