Box-Office Weekend: Spider-Man Repeats on Top!

Box-Office Weekend: Spider-Man Puts the Toys Away!
Not only did Sony’s Spider-Man: Far from Home soundly unseat Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 4 from the top spot of the weekend box office, it also delivered the largest six-day opening for a Tuesday release in history (albeit that is undoubtedly a very select group). The film brought in $92.6 million over the weekend and first week cumulative total of $185.1 million. The film also looks as though it cou...[Read More]
Box-Office Weekend: The Toys are Back on Top…Again!
For the second week in a row, Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 4 finished on top of the weekend box office. This week, the film took in $57.9 million.

Box-Office Weekend: Toy Story 4 Crushes All Competition
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4 absolutely demolished its competition to reign supreme over this week’s box-office weekend.

Box-Office Weekend: Men in Black: International Tops Another Disappointing Box Office

Box-Office Weekend: Secret Life of Pets Sequel Leads Disappointing Box Office
While the top two film’s over the box-office weekend were new releases, they both proved to be disappointments, of sorts.

Elsewhere, the latest offering in the X-M...[Read More]
