Thor: Ragnarok defended its box-office crown last week, with both Daddy’s Home 2 and Murder on the Orient Express slightly over-performing.

The Preview Reel: The Daddy’s Are Home Again to Take a Ride on the Orient Express
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. Unsurprisingly, Thor: Ragnarok dominated the box office last weekend with a debut of $122.7 million, which was good for the fourth-highest opening of the year. The well-received Marvel film will likely repeat this weekend as Kenneth Branagh’s murder mystery Murder on the Orient Express and the c...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Thor and the Bad Moms
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. Last weekend saw Jigsaw open on top of a slow movie-going weekend.

The Preview Reel: Jigsaw, Suburbicon, and Thank You for Your Service
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. Last weekend saw four films not make a whole a lot of noise at the box office, with the minor exception of Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween, which nabbed the top spot with $21.2 million. This weekend looks like more of the same as we have a trio of new wide releases including the return of...[Read More]
The Preview Reel for October 20, 2017 Releases
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide release movies. Last week we told you to never count out Blumhouse even when their movies look subpar, and what do you know, Happy Death Day overachieved with $26 million. This weekend will see a slew of new releases, but will they be able to take down the Groundhog Day influenced horror flick? Let’s see if Geo...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: The Foreigner and Happy Death Day
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide release movies. Blade Runner 2049 received rave reviews last week, but that did not translate to box-office success as the movie stumbled to a $32.8 million opening against a $155 million budget. The sci-fi flick has a chance to retain the top spot, however, as the competition this week looks relatively weak—th...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Can a New Blade Runner Climb the Mountain Between Us?
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies.

The Preview Reel: American Made & Flatliners
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies.

This week, Kingsman will be doing...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: New LEGO, Spy, and Horror Movies
Welcome to this week’s “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. The horror film It dominated the box office again last weekend as two new releases struggled to find their audience. It would appear though that the two-week reign for the Stephen King adaption is about to end as two high-profile releases (The LEGO Ninjago Movie and Kingsman: The Golden Circle) ...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Mother and American Assassin
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at this week’s upcoming wide-release movies. It was the “it” movie last week as it debuted with a stunning $123 million, smashing numerous fall and horror movie records. There is no doubt it will stay number one this week, but there are two intriguing releases – Darren Aronofsky’s latest mind-bending thriller, Mother!, and a Michael Keaton spy th...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Will the Hitman’s Bodyguard Get Over Logan Lucky?
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. Annabelle: Creation scared away the competition last week with an impressive $35 million.

Both look to ti...[Read More]
The Preview Reel: Annabelle Takes On Nut Job
Welcome to the “Preview Reel” column, where we look at the week’s upcoming wide-release movies. The month of August started off sluggishly with The Dark Tower taking the number one spot with just $19.5 million. Things don’t look to be getting better, especially this week. There’s a prequel to a movie no one really liked in Annabelle: Creation, and the sequel no one was asking for in The Nut Job 2:...[Read More]
