Weekend Movie Earnings: July 10 – 12, 2009

It was a gay ol’ time at the theaters this weekend with “Bruno” leading the pack and dominating the box office. Not even an “Ice Age” or intergalactic robots could stop Sacha Baron Cohen and his latest character creation which brought in over $30 million this weekend. Meanwhile, the poorly reviewed teen comedy “I Love [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: July 3 – 5, 2009

It was a battle of the sequels this holiday weekend with newcomer “Ice Age 3″ attempting to dethrone “Transformers 2″ from its post atop the box office. Right now the studio estimates show the pair tied at a very respectable $42.5 million. We’ll have to see how that gets revised once the actuals come in. [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: June 26 – 28, 2009

No surprises here. “Transformers 2″ dominated the box office with $112 million in 3 days and a total grossing of over $200 million since it broke into theaters on Wednesday. That’s not too bad for a movie consistently reviewed as horrible. “Transformers 3″ is undoubtedly in the works already. Comedies stood their ground against the [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: June 19 – 21, 2009

“The Hangover” finally wore off this weekend as “The Proposal” took over at the top of the box office earning $34.1 million in its debut. “Hangover” hung on to its earning power though with second place and nearly $27 million during its third week in release. Not all comedies did as well with the Jack [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: June 12 – 14, 2009

“The Hangover” became the first movie of the summer to hold on to the number one spot at the box office for two weeks in a row by once again beating out Disney’s “Up.” Last weekend’s numbers initially had “Hangover” coming in second, but the estimates were revised to actuals and had the Todd Phillips [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: June 5 – 7, 2009

It was a big weekend for comedies at the box office with “The Hangover” facing off against similarly silly “Land of the Lost.” Todd Phillips tapped into his following from directing “Old School” to earn an impressive $43+ million even if it wasn’t enough to beat out Pixar’s “Up.” Will Ferrell must be losing steam [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: May 29 – 31, 2009

It was another big weekend for Pixar with the release of their latest animated movie, “Up.” Unlike some of their recent films I’m actually interested in seeing this one, but we went with “Drag Me To Hell” instead. “Drag” was a lot of fun, but be warned, this is not a straight horror film. There [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: May 8 – 11, 2009

The summer blockbuster season continues with another massive movie debut with “Star Trek” earning over $72 million this weekend with an extra $4 million for its early debut on Thursday night. While $72 million is impressive and it still fell short of “Wolverine’s” earnings last week of over $87 million. Next weekend we’ll have the [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: May 1 – 3, 2009

Negative early reviews be damned! “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” tore through theaters this weekend launching the summer blockbuster storm with an incredibly impressive $87 million in box office movie earnings. I wasn’t one of those handing over my money, but if word of mouth carries this one above the bad reviews then I might still consider [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: April 24 – 26, 2009

Wow. I did not see this coming from the tired storyline of “Obsessed.” Honestly, I thought it was a straight-to-DVD movie when I kept seeing the commercials, but this domestic disturbance stalker flicker, pretty much a “Fatal Attraction” meets “The Temp,” managed to stomp all over the box office with $28.5 million in the top [...]
