"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.

Box Office Predictions: 7/12-7/14; Monsters & Robots vs. (Apparently) Funny people vs. the Minions

Box Office Predictions: ‘Despicable Me 2’ to crush ‘The Lone Ranger’

And, families might have held out on that - to wait for this. Movies similar to … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: ‘Despicable Me 2’ to crush ‘The Lone Ranger’
Box Office Predictions: ‘The Heat’, ‘White House Down’
Comedy movies have performing fairly well so far this year. A few bombed (Movie 43), a few opened to expectations (This is the End), and a few impressed (Identity Thief). Now, it's time to see how the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy buddy comedy will perform.
