‘Sully’ Still On Top As ‘Blair Witch’, ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Snowden’ Open Low At The BO!!

As expected, Clint Eastwood‘s Sully enjoyed a second straight weekend atop the box office and it wasn’t much of a competition. Not one of the weekend’s three new widest releases managed to even top ten million as Blair Witch and Bridget Jones’s Baby fell well short of expectations and Open Road‘s Snowden pretty much delivered as expected depending on whom you asked. Overall, the weekend’s top twelve was down 11.6% compared to last week … Continue reading ‘Sully’ Still On Top As ‘Blair Witch’, ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Snowden’ Open Low At The BO!!

Pete’s Dragon (2016) Review!!!

Synopsis – The adventures of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just so happens to be a dragon. My Take – Disney continues its recent trend of reintroducing its own animated films (like Cinderella, The Jungle Book & The BFG) in live action form with this remake of the 1977 part animated musical film. As a kid who grew up in the … Continue reading Pete’s Dragon (2016) Review!!!
