Box-Office Weekend: Fifty Shades Freed On Top
Surprisingly, the top three spots of this weekend’s box office belonged to three new releases. First, the latest (and presumably last) film in the “Fifty Shades” franchise, Fifty Shades Freed, debuted in the number one spot with $38.8 million. This pushed the franchise over the $1 billion mark globally—an impressive feat for any franchise, despite the disputed critical quality of it. The family-fr...[Read More]

Box-Office Weekend—Maze Runner: The Death Cure Debuts on Top
Bringing in an estimated $23.5 million, Maze Runner: The Death Cure took the top spot at the box office this weekend.

For the second week, Disney and Pixar’s Coco held the top spot at the box office with $26.1 million, bringing its impressive two-week total to $108.7 million...[Read More]
