“Disaster Artist” and “The Shape of Water” debut to enormous numbers as Academy season starts in full force. WEEKEND RECAP It’s all about holdovers today as with no new wide openings it was left to the November films and the limited releases to tote the boxoffice weight this weekend. Disney’s “Coco”…

It’s Another Win For Pixar As “Coco” Cruises to $71 Million Opening. This Weekend at the Box Office.

It was supposed to have been the Thanksgiving battle between the two titans of November. WB’s “Justice League” was coming off a near USD $100 million debut while Pixar/Disney opened their latest animated behemoth, “Coco”. Instead of Frazier vs. Ali it turned out to be more Georgia Tech vs. Cumberlan…

“Justice League” Opens Sub-$100 Mil and Proves More Definitely Isn’t the Merrier. This Weekend at the Box Office.

Warner’s DC franchise’s superheroapalooza, “Justice League”, proved that six superheroes are not better than one by debuting with a relatively disappointing USD $96 million. Backed by a lackluster Rotten Tomatoes score of 39 and a just-okay Cinemascore of B+, “Justice League” opened to a lower take…

“Ragnarok” N’ Roll. “Thor” Hammers Home 2nd Weekend $56 Mil Win. Now a Certain Justice League Awaits. This Weekend at the Boxoffice.

Daddypalooza holds off Poirot’s little grey cells to grab the place position with $30 million. First off, thanks for Patrick and Sperling for their help with the column last week while I was off in the wilds of the San Bernadino Mountains. Also, thank you to all the veterans on both sides of the Atl…

It’s Hammer Time as Thor Smashes November Records While Moms’ Moms Party It Up. This Weekend at the Box Office.

This week Jim Amos is taking a well-deserved brake, having been proven right to be very bullish about “Thor: Ragnarok” and predicting the “A Bad Moms Christmas” box office haul to within a rounding error. Instead it falls to conductors and porters J. Sperling Reich and Patric…

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Why Disney Can Demand 65% of Box Office for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”

Just when North American cinema operators looked forward to having blockbuster films like “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” come along and boost a box office that has sagged in the second half of 2017, along comes Disney to squash any such dreams. Make no mistake, it’s not that these f…

“Suburbicon” Plunges Into Box Office Sinkhole While “Jigsaw” Lacks Teeth With Ho-Hum $16 Million Debut. This Weekend at the Box Office.

There is a famous 1980s era photo of one solitary baseball fan sitting in the far upper reaches of cavernous Municipal Stadium in Cleveland where the (then) sad sack Indians used to play their baseball games. It’s clear that there isn’t a single soul within another time zone of him. We probably coul…

Box Office - Jigsaw, Thank You For Your Service, Suburbicon

Madea Rises Above the October Morass for Tyler Perry’s Sixth #1 Opening. This Weekend at the Box Office.

Well at least one part of this fairly wretched weekend at the box office went according to plan. Tyler Perry donned the makeup, dusted off the body pillows and went back to the well yet again for his sixth #1 opening as “Boo! 2” nabbed a $21.6 million opening, easily holding off all comers thisRead…

Blumhouse’s “Death Day” a Happy $26 Million Surprise, Leaving “Blade Runner 2049” in the Dust. This Weekend at the Box Office.

OK gang, show of hands. As late as a month ago who among us thought that the latest Blumhouse horror title, “Happy Death Day”, would easily topple the second weekend of “Blade Runner 2049?” (Blumhouse and Universal employees, you don’t count so put your hands down.) “Happy Death Day” turned out to b…

“Blade Runner 2049” Proves You Can’t Go Home Again After $31 Million Debut. This Weekend at the Box Office.

Hopefully Meat Loaf won’t mind me slightly editing his song title in order to best sum up this past weekend at the box office. “None Out of Three Is Bad”. The long gestating “Blade Runner” sequel underperformed to the tone deaf tune of $31.5 million (and didn’t exactly light the international box of…
