Weekend Box Office Report: 'Brave' Plays Big

Jacob Hall — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:18:48 +0000

When it comes to winning big at the box office, never bet against Pixar. ‘Brave‘ is not only the acclaimed animation studio’s thirteenth film, it is their thirteenth film to open at number one at the box office. It’s a track record that just about everyone else in Hollywood would kill for.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ and 'Prometheus' Remain Supreme

Jacob Hall — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:31:30 +0000

For those of us who follow the box office, this weekend was a case of deja vu. Once again, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ headlined the top ten and once again, ‘Prometheus‘ snatched the number two spot. Both films managed to keep their momentum despite the opening of two new releases starring two of the biggest movie stars in the world. That’s good news if you’re ‘Madagascar 3′ or ‘Prometheus,’ but pretty bad news if you’re Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler.

Another busy week. First off the weekend was perfect for outdoor fun.

One thing I didn't have a chance to do was play a couple of rounds of golf, but this guy did!

Andy Scott — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:41:06 +0000

As expected, Pixar’s ‘Cars 2′ easily took first place at the weekend box office, netting a healthy $68 million. That’s about $8 million higher than the original ‘Cars,’ which opened to $60.1 million in 2006. Also opening strong this weekend was the R-rated comedy ‘Bad Teacher.’ The Cameron Diaz vehicle exceeded all expectations to gross [...]

Weekend Box Office: 'Hangover Part II' Tops 'Kung Fu Panda 2′

K Bear — Tue, 31 May 2011 16:02:59 +0000

The 'Hangover' boys were back for another booze-filled adventure this weekend, and as box office estimates showed, audiences were more than willing to go along for the ride.

The sequel to the 2009 smash comedy took in a whopping $105.8 million over four days, helping to make this weekend the biggest Memorial Day weekend ever at the box office.

Even better for 'Part II,' its $86.0 intake between Friday and Sunday was the highest ever for a comedy, and the second-highest for an R-rated movie, behind only 'The Matrix Reloaded.'

New Movie Releases: 'Thor,' 'Something Borrowed' and More [VIDEOS]

K Bear — Wed, 04 May 2011 23:11:48 +0000

Three new movies are opening nationwide this weekend.

One has the makings of a mega-blockbuster in 'Thor,' the latest in a long line of superhero movies from Marvel. Interestingly enough, this one is from critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated director Kenneth Branagh, the man behind such Shakespeare adaptations as 'Henry V.'

The other big releases this weekend are a nice alternative to the loud thunderous action in 'Thor.' The first is 'Something Borrowed,' based on the popular book by Emily Giffin, starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin. If that doesn't float you boat, you may want to try 'Jumping the Broom,' about two very different families who come together for a wedding at Martha's Vineyard.

Which of these movies will you see this weekend? Take a look at their trailers after the jump, then check out a list of movies still playing in theaters.
