Jungle Cruise kept its ship together at the domestic box office over the weekend, and actually saw an uptick in Friday-to-Saturday grosses (when you back out Thursday previews of $2.7M) of +16% which puts the adventure film at $34.2M, an opening that’s not far from Dwayne Johnson’s pre-pandemic event film Rampage ($35.7M), and the biggest family film start during the pandemic to date. All in, add … Continue reading ‘Jungle Cruise’ Ships off with $91.8M Opening at the WW BO!!

Even with Space Jam: A New Legacy in homes on HBO Max, Warner Bros. proves again that when they shell out on TV spots, they can open the film in movie theaters to a solid number. In this case, it was the best 3-day we’ve seen for a family film during the pandemic, with $31.65M. That’s also the best for Warner Bros. during the Covid-19 era, beating … Continue reading ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy’ Takes Over Top Spot from ‘Black Widow’ with $31M+ Opening at the BO!!

The Boss Baby: Family Business (2021) Review!!

Synopsis – The Templeton brothers have become adults and drifted away from each other, but a new boss baby with a cutting-edge approach is about to bring them together again – and inspire a new family business.

‘Black Widow’ Opens at Pandemic Best $215M+ Including Disney+ Premier at the WW BO!!

The Walt Disney Company sent out a widespread announcement that Black Widow made $215M-plus WW this weekend: Broken down, that’s $80M at the domestic box office, $78M in international box office, and over $60M in Disney+ Premier Access consumer spend globally. I understand that the latter figure skews more heavily toward US Disney+ Premier spending. This is the first time that Disney has released actual … Continue reading ‘Black Widow’ Opens at Pandemic Best $215M+ Including Disney+ Premier at the WW BO!!

‘The Boss Baby 2’ Gets 2021 Release Date; Alec Baldwin to Return!!!

DreamWorks Animation doesn’t make waves like it once did. Yes, they keep making movies, and those movies reach various levels of success, but in an environment where Pixar and Illumination Entertainment are reaching over $1 billion worldwide, the take from DWA movies seems paltry by comparison. To give you an idea of the company’s fortunes, their biggest hit of the 2010s was 2010’s Shrek Forever … Continue reading ‘The Boss Baby 2’ Gets 2021 Release Date; Alec Baldwin to Return!!!
