August 2-4 Box Office Predictions

"The Smurfs 2" is being released two days early to beat the rush. Now, that worked wonders for "Despicable Me 2," but didn't do anything for "Turbo." After families have emptied their pockets out on legitimately good animated movies like "Monsters University" and "DM2," their budgets for movies are running on empty (as shown by … Continue reading August 2-4 Box Office Predictions

Box Office Results July 26-28. (I can’t think of a clever title.)

"The Wolverine" did good business this weekend, but not nearly as great as everyone thought it would be. While it was tracking for a $70 million opening, it was only able to nab a $53.114 million opening. This opening should be attributed to the fact that the disappointing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" disappointed many, so it … Continue reading Box Office Results July 26-28.

At the beginning of 2013, it was looking like this … Continue reading “The Conjuring” scares a big audience, Snails and Retired Spies do okay, “R.I.P.D.” bombs hard

Box Office Predictions: July 19-21

There are four big releases coming out this weekend, so I'll try to keep my thoughts on each of the movies brief, so this article doesn't become too tedious.

James Wan's movies have an average opening of … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: July 19-21

My most anticipated movies of July

Hi everyone, this is my post for the movies I'm most anticipating this month. I'm going to leave out the ones I'm not anticipating (but will be seeing), because who wants to write a paragraph about a movie they're not particularly passionate about? (I'm talking about you, GROWN UPS 2.) I'll be writing reviews about … Continue reading My most anticipated movies of July
