It was a near record-setting summer for Hollywood. “Jurassic World,” “Inside Out” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” led this summer’s box office to one of its highest grossing in history, according to Variety.

The Perfect Guy & M Night Shyamalan’s The Visit are success stories at the BO!!

As expected, The Perfect Guy was the top draw at this weekend’s box office. The Sony/Screen Gems thriller earned an estimated $26.7 million from 2,211 locations, or $12,000 per screen. That’s a strong debut for a film that cost just $12 million – and especially strong considering that early projections had the film opening closer to $20 million. Then again, in recent years Screen Gems … Continue reading The Perfect Guy & M Night Shyamalan’s The Visit are success stories at the BO!!

Check out the Hits & Misses of Summer 2015!!

The summer box office will go down as the second-biggest in history, but the wealth wasn’t evenly distributed. Instead, the results revealed a profound case of corporate income inequality. Two studios, Universal and Disney, gobbled up most of the profits after fielding massive hits like “Jurassic World” and “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Together, their films made up seven of the 10 top-grossing domestic releases this … Continue reading Check out the Hits & Misses of Summer 2015!!

Sure, the last two years have given us more than a few big hits in summer’s final month – Straight Outta Compton, for one. But this is how you know that summer is winding down: when a clutch of mediocre new releases hits theatres only to be shown up by … Continue reading ‘Compton’ stomps ‘Sinister 2’, ‘American Ultra’ & ‘Hitman: Agent 47’ at the BO!!

Fantastic Four reboot gets clobbered at the Box Office!!

Fox‘s Fantastic Four got a Thing-like pummeling at the box office with a $26.2M first outing, allowing Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation to take #1 for the second weekend in a row with $29.4M. Fantastic‘s $6,558 take per screen underwhelmed across the board and it doesn’t look like the Josh Trank-directed film has any hopes of turning things around.
