Box Office Still Dark and Knighty

Four weeks later, and no one has managed to knock “The Dark Knight” off its #1 perch. The Christopher Nolan comic book movie retained the top spot for the fourth consecutive week with an estimated $26 million dollar take, for a 4-week total of $442 million domestically. Of course, the fact that “The Dark Knight” [...]

Weekend Box Office: WALL-E First, Jolie Close

As expected by pretty much everyone who has heard of the name Pixar before, the animated company’s “WALL-E” met and exceeded expectations in its debut weekend, taking in an estimated $62.5 million, good enough for the story about a junk robot who meets a more high-tech version on a junkyard Planet Earth to claim the [...]

Beowulf Slays the Box Office

To absolutely no one’s surprise, “Beowulf” continued its strong Friday showing by taking the 3-day weekend box office with a combined $28, enough to give it king of the hill status. Other first weekend openers performed reasonably well, with the Natalie Portman children’s movie “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” coming in at fifth place with $10 [...]

Beowulf Big at the Box Office

He … is … Beowulf! And he’s taken the Friday box office, clearing $9.7 million after opening wide in 3,153 theaters across the country. The film, which stars motion-captured animated versions of Angelina Jolie, Ray Wise, and Robin Wright Penn, is scheduled to do pretty well over its 3-day weekend debut, if past successes are [...]

Bee Movie Stings Box Office in Second Week

Talk about something that never happens at the box office — a movie that opened last week at #2 (Jerry Seinfeld’s animated “Bee Movie”) has taken the box office crown in its second week of release, beating out “American Gangster”, which had taken the top spot when the two films opened last week in the [...]

American Gangsters Rule the Box Office

I don’t think it’s a surprise that the Denzel Washington-Russell Crowe crime team-up “American Gangster” took over the box office this weekend, but I think it is surprising that it was so dominant, taking in a whopping $46.3 million in its weekend debut. Coming in second place was the Jerry Seinfeld animation “Bee Movie”, which [...]

Saw 4 Guts the B.O. Competition with $32.1 Million

In super “Duh” news, the fourth installment of the “Saw” franchise gutted the competition at the box office over the weekend and left their intestines dangling from the screen. Of course the film didn’t have any real competition this weekend, with only the Steve Carrel dramedy “Dan in Real Life” opening opposite it. “Dan” laid [...]

Vampires Slay Ben Affleck and Reese Witherspoon at the Box Office

Although it only took in $16 million, a modest take for a $30 million dollar movie, David Slade’s vampire movie “30 Days of Night” still managed to climb to the top of the box office over the weekend, leaving behind the vanquished corpses of Ben Affleck’s “Gone Baby Gone”, which opened in fifth place. The [...]

Tyler Perry and his Bad Marriage Takes Box Office

I’ve been told that Tyler Perry, the black comedian/actor/director who likes to dress up in drags, has a major following, but damn, I had no idea it was this major. Perry’s latest, the drama/comedy “Why Did I Get Married?”, took the box office in its debut week with an impressive $21 million haul, more than [...]

The Rock is Stout at the Box Office, The Seeker Finds Squat

You can’t knock a good Rock down, as the old saying goes. For the second straight week, The Rock’s kiddie comedy “The Game Plan” took the top spot at a very weak box office (I guess people just didn’t feel like going to the movies this weekend), claiming $16 million for a 2-week total of [...]

The Game Plan Takes the Box Office

To absolutely no one’s surprised, the Rock’s stab at kiddie comedy, “The Game Plan” took the box office in its opening weekend with $22 million. If you didn’t think this would happen, you haven’t been paying attention. In Hollywood, putting an actor known for his tough guy persona in a movie with a bunch of [...]

Zombies Rule the Box Office

Who would have thunk it? Zombies have finally made a return to the top of the box office, with “Resident Evil: Extinction”, the third entry in the videogame-turned-movie franchise taking the top spot with an impressive $24 in its weekend debut. So what did everyone else who didn’t want to see flesh-eating zombies go for? [...]
