No More ‘Kingsman’ Movies Are in the Works!!

This is a sad day for fans of the Kingsman franchise. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Steve Asbell delivered disappointing updates regarding the future of the series. The head of 20th Century Studios stated that there are no current plans to develop either another chapter in Eggsy’s (Taron Egerton) journey or another prequel similar to what The King’s Man established a couple of … Continue reading No More ‘Kingsman’ Movies Are in the Works!!

‘The King’s Man’ Sequel to See the Rise of Hitler!!

The King’s Man brought a new perspective to Matthew Vaughn‘s espionage franchise back when it was released in 2021, showing audiences how the secret organization tasked with protecting the world was created. A deep bond between a man and his son was at the heart of the agency’s first steps. But apparently, before the story was told through a movie meant for theatrical release, it … Continue reading ‘The King’s Man’ Sequel to See the Rise of Hitler!!

‘Death On The Nile’ Drowns Competition With a Quiet $12.8M at the BO!!

Two major studios this weekend took a bold swing and decided to go after the challenged older female demo over Valentine’s Day weekend in a continued pandemic. While the results were in line with projections, they wouldn’t be anything to brag about in a pre-pandemic marketplace. There’s also an argument that the Super Bowl today slows Sunday business. However, both these titles were aimed at … Continue reading ‘Death On The Nile’ Drowns Competition With a Quiet $12.8M at the BO!!

‘Jackass Forever’ Sledges ‘Moonfall’ with a $23.5 Million Debut at the BO!!

In a fight between a 22 year old reality brand and a over-the-hill disaster genre at the box office, Paramount’s Jackass Forever wins, punking its mid-teen pre-weekend estimates for a $23.5M opening to Lionsgate’s Moonfall which fell to Earth with $10M. To its benefit, the Jackass brand was never beaten as hard over the course of its 22 years like the disaster movie genre has … Continue reading ‘Jackass Forever’ Sledges ‘Moonfall’ with a $23.5 Million Debut at the BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Stays on Top with $11 Million at the BO!!

Despite movie theaters in the Northeast being closed due to Winter Storm Kenan, Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home is coming in above the studio’s estimates yesterday morning with $11M in its seventh weekend. How is that? Essentially, the Jon Watts directed MCU title is seeing 24% of its business from the West with 23% from the Southeast and 15% from South Central outside the snow zone. Interestingly … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Stays on Top with $11 Million at the BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Reclaims Top Spot from ‘SCREAM’ with $14.1 Million at the BO!!

Some studio distribution bosses used to say that moviegoing is a 52-week business. Well, that’s not the philosophy this weekend, and it’s even grimmer next weekend, as most majors figured in the wake of MLK weekend, and a traditional box office dead zone like January with omicron flying around, that it’s not worth the P&A spend to release any movies. Back in the good ole … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Reclaims Top Spot from ‘SCREAM’ with $14.1 Million at the BO!!

‘Scream’ Dethrones ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ with Strong $36M 4-Day Debut at the BO!!

We can complain about omicron. But I wouldn’t necessarily complain that the variant is spoiling the top films at the box office, as Paramount/Spyglass Media/Project X’s Scream had a robust first day of $13.3M (including $3.5M Thursday previews), and it eased accordingly on Saturday, just like horror movies do, with $10.1M, on its way to a $31.5M 3-day and $36M 4-day at 3,664 theaters. “This opening … Continue reading ‘Scream’ Dethrones ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ with Strong $36M 4-Day Debut at the BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Continues to Break Records While ‘The 355’ Flops at the BO!!

Despite Omicron sending many back to the comfort of their households for January, people are still going to the movies. Specifically, Sony/Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is snatching a fourth weekend of $33M at 4,012 locations, a -41% ease from weekend 3. Proof that Spidey is immune to Omicron: He’s coming in higher than the $30M everyone was expecting yesterday. His fourth session take here … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Continues to Break Records While ‘The 355’ Flops at the BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Becomes 10th Highest-Grosser of All Time at the Domestic BO!!

Comscore has estimated the 2021 domestic box office at $4.55B, which is +100% from last year’s $2.28 billion and off 60% from 2019’s $11.4 billion. While it would be impossible to think we’d come raging back to 2019 norms, it is arguable that the domestic box office recovery isn’t as robust as many expected. No 1 Exhibitor Boss Adam Aron of AMC forecasted 2021 ending … Continue reading ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Becomes 10th Highest-Grosser of All Time at the Domestic BO!!

‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Continues Domination While ‘Matrix 4’ Struggles at the BO!!

For all the headlines about Omicron, in many ways the Christmas box office isn’t unlike others pre-pandemic, where one film is driving the majority of business.

‘Kingsman’: Seven More Movies and a TV Series Are in Planning Stage!!
