‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Lands Colossal $100 Million Dollar Debut

For better or worse, Michael Bay and Hasbro toys have made one of the most successful movie series of the past decade. This weekend saw the release of this franchise’s fourth installment, with Transformers: Age of Extinction. After the blockbuster had 2014’s biggest opening day by making over $41 million this past Friday, it looks […]

‘The Fault in Our Stars’ Soars to Success

YA novel adaptions always flourish in the box office, but when actual sales overcome expectations and star-studded action flicks get defeated, eyebrows tend to get raised. This was exactly the case for The Fault in Our Stars this weekend, which is estimated to come out with a staggering $48.2 million after originally being expected to […]

‘Lone Survivor’ Controls The Box Office

It surely was a good weekend for the cast and crew behind Lone Survivor, which had successfully earned nearly 40 million in the action flick’s first weekend of full scale distribution. Nothing looks to be stopping Frozen from maintaining its high ground in theaters since the Disney film’s November 27 debut. Nearing the bottom of […]

‘Frozen’ Outlasts Box Office Scare from ‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones got off to a hot start on Friday, but the family dollar once again prevailed as Frozen pulled off the come-from-behind victory at this weekend’s box office. The Marked Ones‘ $8.7 million opening day gave it a $2 million head start over the animated Disney feature, but the front-loaded horror […]

Success Continues For ‘The Hobbit’ This Pre-Christmas Weekend

Despite the debut of so many other heavyweights this weekend, including the highly anticipated Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, studio estimates are showing that The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will come out as the highest grossing film. The movie, which made its original US release last weekend with over 70 million in sales, saw some […]

‘The Hobbit’ Ventures Its Way To The Top

After earning an astounding 31 million on its opening day, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has met the expectations of many by dominating the box office this past weekend with a current estimated total of 73+ million. Disappointingly, this is a dip in performance for the franchise seeing as how The Hobbit: The Unexpected […]

‘Frozen’ Overcomes Box Office Heat From ‘Catching Fire’ and ‘Out of the Furnace’

In its second weekend, Disney’s Frozen earned another $31.6 million, which was enough for it to overtake The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($27 million) for the #1 spot at the weekend box office and prevent Catching Fire from pulling off the rare three-peat. The post-Thanksgiving weekend frame is typically a weak one as it provides […]

‘Catching Fire’ Survives Against Box Office Newcomers

Catching Fire‘s ongoing box office success has not yet ceased since the sequel’s debut last weekend. There were a few different top ten newcomers this thanksgiving weekend, but none came as close to matching Catching Fire‘s $74.5 million dollar gross as much as Disney’s latest animated film, Frozen, which is currently estimated to earn about […]

‘Catching Fire’ Lights Up Weekend Box Office Charts

Making for one of the biggest film stories of 2013 since Iron Man 3 shut out the competition this past May, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire had recently earned itself a laundry list of achievements, including the biggest November opening, and the fourth largest opening weekend. Currently, studio estimates have shown that the film will come […]

‘Thor: The Dark World’ Overpowers Competitors Throughout The November 8-10 Weekend

Like most of the superhero movies that have premiered in the past several years, Thor: The Dark World left a major dent in the total amount of ticket sales. Considering that there has been over 85 million dollars made in its debut weekend alone, we’re pretty sure that Chris Hemsworth and company will be earning […]

Ender's Game

‘Ender’s Game’ Beats The Rest This Box Office Weekend

Between the recent premiere of Ender’s Game, a silver screen rendition of the 1985 novel by Orson Scott Card, and Gravity, it seems as if sci-fi movies have held a tight grip on being the most popular films of the past month. Early estimates have shown that the Gavin Hood-directed film has made at least […]

Prisoners Still

‘Prisoners’ Kidnaps The Box Office’s Number One Spot

Prisoners emerged as the highest grossing film this past weekend, with over 20 million dollars made in gross profits. Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal’s latest drama made over seven million on its opening day, leading into the success that followed. Insidious: Chapter 2 fell behind after doing so well this past weekend, with its sales […]
