Box Office Weekend: They Call Him Mr. Glass and Mr. Box Office
The latest film from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, Glass, finished on top of the weekend box office with $40.6 million. While the total was a bit shy of the expectations set on the film, it was still a solid opening, and, assuming it does well enough on Monday (Martin Luther King Day), it will more than likely do decent enough business to become one of the largest January openings of all tim...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: The Upside Sees, Well, the Upside
In its third week of release, the Aquaman juggernaut was felled by upstart The Upside, which bested it by approximately $2.3 million over the weekend. The Upside debuted on top of the weekend box office with $19.6 million. Meanwhile, Aquaman added another $17.3 million to lift its four-week tally to $287.9 million.

Box Office Weekend: Aquaman Nails the Triple Lindy

Box-Office Weekend: The Nun Sets Franchise Record
The new horror film The Nun led the weekend box office with an impressive $53.5 million opening weekend. The film toppled the franchise’s opening weekend record of $41.8 million set by the first film in the series, The Conjuring in 2013.

Box-Office Weekend: Incredibles 2 Astonishes
Another group of super heroes reclaimed the top spot atop the weekend box office. With an, ahem, incredible opening weekend, the long-awaited sequel, Incredibles 2, opened with a $180 million weekend, overshadowing last-weekend’s top grosser, Ocean’s Eight, which only brought in $19.6 million. Clearly moviegoers were keen for some super heroes this weekend. But all was not lost for the all-female ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Ocean’s 8 Overtakes Solo
The all-female reboot of the “Ocean’s” franchise, starring Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, Ocean’s 8, debuted in the top spot with an impressive $41.5 million showing over the weekend. This easily bested the $15.2 million that second-place finisher Solo: A Star Wars Story brought during its third weekend of release. This gives the Star Wars film a to-date total of $176.1 million, which must be ...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Solo Stays on Top
In its second week of release, Solo: A Star Wars Story managed to take in $29.3 million to remain on top of the weekend box office. This gives the film an impressive two-week total of $148.9 million. And, as it did last week, Deadpool 2 finished in second place, though this time the margin wasn’t nearly as drastic as the Marvel sequel took in $23.3 million (just $6 million behind its Star Wars com...[Read More]
Box Office Weekend: Solo: A Star Wars Story Debuts on Top
Despite finishing atop the Memorial Day weekend box office, the latest entry to the “Star Wars” canon from Disney and Lucasfilm, Solo: A Star Wars Story, failed to break the $100 million plateau, managing just $83.3 million. Albeit, this was still around double what second-place finisher Deadpool 2 brought in with $42.7 million. All in all, it must be considered a disappointing opening given the l...[Read More]
Box-Office Weekend: Deadpool 2 Dominates
Deadpool 2 delivered an impressive, though not record-setting, opening weekend of $125 million. Which ultimately makes it the second-largest R-rated opening just behind the original film’s $132.4 million opening in 2016. Internationally, the film brought in an estimated $176.3 million, giving it a worldwide debut of over $300 million. Disney and Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War finished in a distan...[Read More]
