Box Office - Boo 2, Only The Brave, Geostorm

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…

Dear Junkies, Cinemas are increasingly catering to the deaf and blind, but what about patrons who are both? A US court has just ruled that cinemas have an obligation to such customers as well. This all stems from an incident in which the Plano, Texas-based circuit Cinemark was asked to cater to the…

CJ Talks to Jean Mizrahi, CEO Ymagis, at FNCF

I bump into Ymagis’ CEO Jean Mizrahi as we walk in opposite directions on Rue Eugene Colas that connects the centre of Deauville with the convention building on the beach. It was the first day of the annual French cinema conference and he looked rushed. “I may not be able to make our int…

Box Office - Happy Death Day, The Foreigner, Marshall

“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…

Much like Flounder in “Animal House” rubbing his hands together near the end of the movie and screaming, “This is gonna be great!,” it’s always amusing to watch the game of high stakes studio chess when we have weekends like this one where there’s a battle for the top spot at the box office.
