Nice Try, Old Sport: “The Great Gatsby” Can’t Catch “Iron Man 3″ at Box Office
Here’s your box office report for the past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Iron Man 3,” $72.5M. Having been around for most of Robert Downey Jr.’s tumultuous career — the perplexing choices, the stretch in prison — it’s to comprehend that this guy (who is now pushing 50) is box office royalty. 2.) “The more »
As Expected, “Iron Man 3″ Rules the Weekend
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Iron Man 3,” $175M. It wasn’t a question of whether it would be number one, but how much money it would make on its opening weekend. As for whether it’s any good or not, I’ll say this: It all depends on more »
What Did We Do, America? “Pain & Gain” Wins Box Office
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Pain & Gain,” $20M. After enduring this spectacle on Saturday morning, I’m convinced that Michael Bay has no original or interesting thoughts. About anything. Politics, sports, the delicious roast beef sandwich he ate the other day. I think if you were more »
Tom Cruise Returns as Box Office Royalty
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Oblivion,” $38.2M. It’s a good thing this movie did as well as it did, because Tom Cruise was two more disappointing movies away from starring in “The Expendables 5.” 2.) “42,” $18M. Will become a staple in grammar school classrooms for more »
“42″ Scores at Box Office, “Scary Movie 5″ Stumbles Into Second
Here’s your box office report for the past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “42,” $27.2M. The good news is that this biopic’s success should launch Nicole Beharie (who plays Jackie Robinson’s wife, Rachel) to the next level after years of inexplicable obscurity. The lady is pure effervescence. 2.) “Scary Movie 5,” $15.2M. Um, maybe more »
“Evil Dead,” “Jurassic Park” Turn Fright Into Box Office Might
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Evil Dead,” $26M. If this starts a trend of Sam Raimi remakes, can the next target be “For Love of the Game”? Because that movie was awful in every way. 2.) “The Croods,” $21.1M. How much does it say for Nicolas more »
Box Office Report: Joes Before Hosts, Y’All!
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” $41.2M. Lost in the whole “Dwayne Johnson can revive a franchise” talk is how much better directed this movie is compared to “The Rise of Cobra.” Seriously, rent the first installment and prepare yourself for two hours of more »
Box Office Report: Audiences in the Mood for “The Croods”
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “The Croods,” $44.7M. Nicolas Cage is so gonna buy an island. 2.) “Olympus Has Fallen,” $30.5M. Impressive opening weekend, even with downright tepid reviews. One possible reason behind the success: Gerard Butler in a role where he’s doing something violent and not more »
“Oz” Remains Great and Powerful at Box Office, Crushes “The Call,” “Burt Wonderstone”
Here’s your box office report for this past weekend, complete with snarky commentary. 1.) “Oz the Great and Powerful,” $42.2M. If James Franco’s character from “Spring Breakers” played the protagonist, I would have watched this by now. 2.) “The Call,” $17.1M. Does anyone else think that Halle Berry’s haircut in this movie makes her look like Sideshow more »
“Oz the Great and Powerful” Takes the Box Office, and It’s Not Even Close
Here’s your box office report, complete with snarky commentary, for the past weekend. 1.) “Oz the Great and Powerful,” $80.3M. Weird to see Michelle Williams and James Franco in a family movie. Have not seen it yet. Does one of them play a meth addict? 2.) “Jack the Giant Slayer,” $10M. Fie, fi, fo, fum, I smell more »
