box office - Page 12

After six movies, 22 years, countless bruises and a broken ankle, Tom Cruise’s death-defying “Mission: Impossible” stunts continue to pay off at the box office.

Shock and Awe director Rob Reiner has now directed six mega-flops in a row and has not had anything approaching a hit since 2007.

Director Rob Reiner’s latest film Shock and Awe grossed a meager $41,000 on its opening weekend after critics and audiences ripped its predictable storyline. 

“Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” has checked into the No. 1 spot at the box office in its opening weekend and left the Dwayne Johnson action thriller, “Skyscraper,” in the dust.

Disney is eager to fire and replace Kathleen Kennedy over her disastrous handling of the Star Wars franchise, reports Grace Randolph of Beyond the Trailer.

“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” surpassed expectations to open with $150 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canada theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. While that total didn’t approach the record-breaking $208.8 million debut of 2015′s “Jurassic World,” it proved the 25-year-old franchise still roars loudly among moviegoers.

The combined powers of superheroes, the Pixar brand and a draught of family-friendly films helped “Incredibles 2” become the best animated opening of all time, the biggest PG-rated launch ever and the 8th highest film launch overall.

An industry analyst tells the far-left Hollywood Reporter that Solo could lose more than $80 million. Yeah, right. Not for a second do I believe the loss will be that low, but that is the headline.

With no serious competition opening at the box office, Solo has officially collapsed with a catastrophic -68 percent drop in its second weekend. After grossing a measly (we are talking about a Star Wars movie here) $82 million in its debut weekend, Solo bottomed out in week two with just $28 million.

Disney murdered the Muppets with left-wing politics, and now the studio is allowing Kathleen Kennedy to kill Star Wars — a franchise that was once so bullet-proof and buried in audience goodwill, it survived the Lucas prequels.

In the largest disturbance yet in Disney’s otherwise lucrative reign over “Star Wars,” the Han Solo spinoff “Solo: A Star Wars Story” opened well below expectations with a franchise-low $83.3 million in ticket sales over the three-day weekend in North American theaters.

Solo is not collapsing at this weekend’s domestic and international box office over some exotic disease known as Star Wars Fatigue. Solo is crash-landing because the franchise has been infected with divisive left-wing politics that have hurt the storytelling.

Solo, the latest entry in Disney’s new woke-ified Star Wars franchise, is projected to open at just $130 million this weekend, and this is a three-day weekend with Memorial Day. The high-end projection is $150 million.

Last year, Jim Carrey’s The Bad Batch, managed to gross just $181,000 in theaters —  and that is the good news. Carrey’s latest movie, the $4.5 million thriller Dark Crimes, just went directly to home video.

With a production and advertising budget that reports peg at somewhere between $150 million and $250 million, that means the ‘Wrinkle In Time’ red ink landed somewhere between $86 million and $186 million, according to Yahoo News.  

After breaking opening weekend records, “Avengers: Infinity War” continued to dominate in its second weekend in theaters, but alternative programming like the romantic comedy “Overboard” also found an audience in what has historically been considered the “official” kick-off to the summer movie season.

A whole lot of superheroes added up to a whole lot of ticket sales. The superhero smorgasbord “Avengers: Infinity Wars” opened with predictable shock-and-awe, earning $250 million in box office over the weekend and edging past “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to set the highest opening weekend of all-time.

It’s another weekend of buzz versus pure star power at the box office as the word of mouth sensation “A Quiet Place” finds itself neck-and-neck again with Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage.” This time buzz had the slight advantage.

With the flopping of ‘I Feel Pretty,’ Amy Schumer’s movie career is now in serious trouble with three flops in a row. Here are six reasons why her movie tanked.

Hollywood is suffering one of the worst domestic March downturns in its recent history, according to the latest box office figures.

Proving once again that there is plenty of room at the multiplex to appeal to Americans of all stripes, both a gay romantic comedy and a Christian film are earning big time at the box office, while A Wrinkle in Time, which had its Christian themes removed by Disney (of all places), completed its box office collapse. In its third weekend, Red Sparrow is already doornail dead.

If you adjust for inflation, only two comedies have entered the list of the top 300 all-time box office successes. This sad fact is unprecedented in the 50-year history of modern movies.

Disney removing Christianity from the box office bomb A Wrinkle in Time not only hurt the story, it is an act of hostile bigotry, which is the opposite of inclusiveness.

Powered in equal parts by stars Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon along with Walt Disney’s mighty publicity machine, director Ana Duvernay’s Wrinkle In Time debuted to an anemic $33 million over the weekend.

A quick look at what this year’s Best Picture nominees were about helps to explain why this Oscar bait made no money at the box office.

Jennifer Lawrence’s big-budget Red Sparrow is under-performing big time at the box office. Already- modest predictions called for a $20 million opening. As of now, it looks like $17 million, which is a disaster.

“Black Panther” has scored one of the best second weekends ever with an estimated $108 million in ticket sales.

Marvel’s pro-Trump ‘Black Panther’ shattered box office records over the President’s Day weekend with a $235 million haul.

With movie attendance dropping to a 24 year low, there was no good news for the film business in 2017, not even for Star Wars.

The 22-year drop in attendance is the least of Hollywood’s major problems coming out of a rather disastrous 2017.

Rian Johnson’s second installment in the third “Star Wars” trilogy rocketed to a debut of $220 million at the North American box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The ‘Justice League’ box office is so bad, Warner Bros. is planning a DC major shake-up that probably includes booting Ban Affleck as Batman.

Pixar’s ‘Coco’ sang its way to the fourth best Thanksgiving weekend ever with an estimated $71.2 million over the five-day weekend, a total that easily toppled Warner Bros.’ ‘Justice League.’

It was bad enough that the sycophantic Hollywood media was pretending that a $110 million opening weekend for Justice League would have been anywhere near acceptable. Unfortunately for all concerned, the cold reality of the Harveywood scandal combined with the loss of faith in DC to tell a worthwhile story delivered even worse news — a horrific opening of just $93 million.

Although the left-wing actor is only 56, George Clooney sounds like he is ready to quit acting because he is too old.

America’s largest theater chain AMC entertainment has posted third-quarter losses of $42.7 million, compared to a $30.4 million profit in the same quarter last year, a revelation that will further concern the entertainment industry.
