Weekend Movie Earnings: Nov 28 - 30, 2008

The holiday weekend belonged to Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon as their “Four Christmases” stayed just ahead of Disney’s “Bolt” with $31 million and $26 million, respectively, for the top two spots at the box office. The teenybopper hit “Twilight” slumped in its second week with a drop of over 60% of its earnings [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: Nov 21 - 23, 2008

I certainly underestimated the power of “Twilight,” but perhaps that’s because I heard of its bad reviews and thought that might influence audiences. I was wrong. The teenyboppers were in full force over the weekend as “Twilight” brought in just over $70 million with its debut and has lead its studio to immediately [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: Nov 14 - 16, 2008

No surprise this weekend as James Bond debuted with his biggest box office opening ever with just over $70 million for “Quantum of Solace”. Even with Bond’s domination at the top spot, “Madagascar 2″ picked up another $36.1 million for a two week total of $118 million in movie earnings. Not bad for [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: Nov 7 - 9, 2008

I’m amazed that Hollywood even bothers putting out any kinds of movies other than kids’ animated flicks. “Madagascar 2″ earned a whopping $63.5 million at the box office this weekend, more than tripling the movie earnings of the number two film, “Role Models” which earned $19.2 million. Not too shabby for Stiffler and [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings: Oct 31 - Nov 2, 2008

The Wildcats were on top again this weekend as “High School Musical 3″ overtook Seth Rogen’s “Zack & Miri Make A Porno.” While “Zack & Miri” was likely a hard sell to mainstream audiences I was still surprised to see what low numbers all the movies posted.
“HSM3″ brought in just $15 million at the [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings - Oct 24 - 26, 2008

No surprises in this weekend’s box office movie earnings. Disney’s cash cow, “High School Musical 3″, came through its freshman weekend with the top spot and $42 million in its pocket. Not far behind is the annual horror flick, “Saw V”, which pulled an impressive $30.5 million in its debut at second place. [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings - Oct 17 - 19, 2008

Mark Wahlberg wants to thank you for seeing his movie, “Max Payne”, and please, say hello to your mother for him. “Payne” took the top spot at the box office, as expected, with an even $18 million in movie earnings. Not to be greatly outdone, those talking dogs held on with second place [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings - Oct 10 - 12, 2008

It was just not the weekend for movie earnings at the box office. Audiences continued to flock to the talking dog movie, highlighting the dumbing down of America. “Cloverfield” imitator “Quarantine”, which declined advance screenings (never a good sign), picked up second place on its debut with $14.2 million. The excellent action [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings - Oct 3 - 5, 2008

It was “Attack of the New Releases” this weekend at the box office with movie earnings being eaten up by at least seven new movies (depending on your area). The top performer of the new comers was “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” (really??) with $29 million followed by sophomore film “Eagle Eye” with “Nick and Norah” [...]

Weekend Movie Earnings - Sept 26 - 28, 2008

Shia LaBeouf dominated the box office with Eagle Eye’s movie earnings of just under $30 million. Spielberg’s exec-produced action thriller had what it took to beat out Richard Gere and Diane Lane’s super-syrupy romance “Nights in Rodanthe” which brought in $13.5 million.
The relatively unknown “Fireproof”, a Christian based film on strengthening marriage, [...]
