TURTLE POWER: ‘TMNT’ Earns $65 Million, Paramount Announces Sequel

It shouldn’t come as a surprise since every past addition to the franchise has always opened at the top of the charts, but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has cleaned out the box office for over $65 million dollars this weekend. Paramount Pictures have decided to strike while the iron is still hot by commencing production […]

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Dominates the Charts, Breaks Box Office Record

As different as Guardians of the Galaxy may be from Marvel Studios’ recent releases, this sci-fi/adventure sure did leave quite a dent in this weekend’s box office charts by making an estimated $94 million. While closely following up to the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier‘s $95 million opening weekend pull from this past […]

‘Lucy’ Defeats ‘Hercules’ With an Astonishing $44 Mil

Somehow, someway, Scarlett Johansson’s latest lead effort has done the unexpected and acquired a hefty $44 million dollar gross this opening weekend. Clearly, this news wouldn’t be as shocking if its major competitor wasn’t starred by heavyweight Dwayne Johnson, whose action-packed film, Hercules, had only scooped up about $29 million, according to Rentrak. Lucy’s success […]

Despite its Killer Box Office Performance, ‘The Purge: Anarchy’ Fails to Dethrone ‘Apes’

The Purge franchise has surely established quite the foothold in Hollywood, but not enough to trump Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which remains to be hanging high above the bunch on this weekend’s domestic charts. Apes is poised to haul away $36 million this weekend, which comes awfully close to half as much as […]

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Conquers the Box Office

Fox’s iconic franchise about our favorite bunch of gun-toting apes has dominated the box office this weekend. The summer blockbuster is poised to make an expected $73 million dollars, far surpassing Rentrak’s projected $60 million dollar pull. Transformers: Age of Extinction has been released for nearly 2 and a half weeks now and is still performing […]

‘Transformers’ Continues Explosive Success This Fourth of July Weekend

Although this year’s Fourth of July weekend felt rather lackluster in comparison to last year’s, Transformers: Age Of Extinction has maintained its leading position on the charts for a consecutive week. Come tonight, the Michael Bay-produced action film will pull an estimated $36.4 million dollars. Tammy came out on top of this week’s slew of […]

‘Maleficent’ Reigns Over Box Office

In the midst of a busy box office weekend packed full of knights, kings, cowboys, and death, it had all ended with Maleficent sitting atop of the competition, with over $70 million to show. The Disney film was originally expected to earn about $50 million, but as we can see now, that was a blatant underestimation. […]

‘Godzilla’ Demolishes The Charts

Featuring both sheer power and star power, Godzilla towered high above expectations this past weekend. The reboot had a strong start on Friday when it opened to $38.5 million, thus breaking the record for the biggest opening day of 2014. On a grander scale, studio estimates have shown that when the dust settles, the blockbuster’s 3-day […]

‘Neighbors’ Moves Into Crowded Box Office

The star power possessed by Zac Efron and Seth Rogen is undeniable, but even with that considered, there are few who could say that they’ve foreseen the commercial success of Neighbors this weekend. According to studio estimates, the comedy has made over $51 million since Friday and greatly surpasses the expected pull of $35 million. […]

Success Continues For ‘The Lego Movie’

Thanks to an estimated $48.8 million made since Friday, the total domestic earnings for The LEGO Movie has officially broken past the $100 million mark this weekend. Specifically, this Warner Bros. produced film is poised to be sitting on top of an estimated $129 million by the end of tonight. Romance-centered films were well-received this […]

‘Ride Along’ Barrels Past Competition

Ride Along has seen more than a fair share of success this four-day weekend. While boasting gross estimates that reach nearly double of what this week’s second highest film, Lone Survivor, has pulled in, Kevin Hart and Ice Cube’s buddy-cop comedy has broken the record for biggest opening on Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, […]
