300 Million Dollar Iron Man
A month and a half after it was first release, Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man” has cleared $300 million dollars in domestic receipts. Add to it the $249 it’s made in overseas buckaroos, and it’s look like Marvel Studios chose correctly when they decided to pop their production cherry with “Iron Man”. Consider the film’s (by [...]

Hulk 2.0 took first place at the box office over the weekend with a solid $54 million in its opening week. Not bad, right? Well, not really. Despite how Marvel will try to spin this (Marvel chairman David Maisel is already out there spinning his butt off as I type this), consider this: Ang Lee’s [...]

There were no real surprises at the box office over the weekend, as the Jack Black animated comedy “Kung Fu Panda” took the top spot, thanks to its family-friendly ways, while Adam Sandler scored big again with his dominant young male demographic, good enough for his “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” to land at [...]

“Sex and the City” may have dominated the weekend entertainment news, and with good reason — the story of four women’s sexcapades in New York scored $55 in its opening weekend — but the real story should be that “The Strangers” landed at a solid #3 with $20 million, more than doubling its $10 million [...]

Now you would think that being able to put enough butts in seats to rake in $56 million in just two days would be considered a major success, but not so much nowadays. While $25 million on Thursday and $31 million on Friday is pretty impressive in anybody’s book, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of [...]

Prince Caspian and the Pevensie kids may not have exceeded industry expectations in their first week of release, and indeed fell below the mark set by the opening weekend of the first “Chronicles of Narnia” movie, but Caspian and company nonetheless did what other films couldn’t do for the last two weeks — knock Jon [...]

It cost north of $150 million to make, and scored a meager $18 million in its opening weekend. This, despite a blitzkrieg of advertising on and offline, and some serious buzz in the fan community. Who didn’t geekgasm when the very first picture of the Mach 5 was released? I’m not even a fan of [...]

Take this for what you will: The Wachowski Brothers’ “Speed Racer’, their first movie since the third installment of their “Matrix” trilogy in 2003, couldn’t handle Iron Man’s repulsor rays, opening at #2 with an approximate $20 million take, about the same amount as the Ashton Kutcher-Cameron Diaz romantic comedy “What Happens in Vegas”. Meanwhile, [...]

To no one’s surprise, Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man” was #1 at the box office over the weekend, making it a bona fide blockbuster hit. Not only did ol’ shellhead pull in an astounding $104 mil in the U.S. box office, but the film also raked in an equally impressive $96.7 million in overseas receipts, for [...]

To no one’s surprise, least of all me, who called it on Friday, the Tina Fey comedy “Baby Mama” took the #1 spot at the U.S. box office in its first weekend. The movie, featuring a team-up of former SNL Weekend Update co-anchors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, took in $18 million in its first [...]

It was close, but as we predicted, the combination of Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s first-ever onscreen collaboration in “The Forbidden Kingdom” was just strong enough to survive a furious challenge from the Judd Apatow-produced comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” to take #1 at the box office over the weekend. The Disney martial arts movie took [...]

I’m not surprised that “Prom Night” took the #1 spot at the box office over the weekend in its debut, but color he shock and awed that it took in a whopping $22.7 million. Even more surprising is just how badly the teen horror remake crushed Keanu Reeves’ cop thriller “Street Kings”, which despite its [...]
