So, I understand some folks were calling for a boycott of Captain Marvel, largely due to star Brie Larson’s criticism of white, male movie critics. Don’t think it worked. Captain Marvel, the 21st film in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, obliterated its competition as if the movie was equipped with its hero’s plasma-blasting fists. Consider: Captain Marvel […]

It’s been a slow year thus far at the box office. The LEGO Movie 2 underperformed. Alita: Battle Angel staggered. We’re nearly done with February, and the only film to crack $100 million in North America has been M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass—and it needed a whole month to do so. Last year, Black Panther earned […]

In the movie Alita: Battle Angel, the titular hero tells us she “will not stand by in the presence of evil.” Apparently, she won’t stand by in the presence of LEGOs, either. Alita: Battle Angel hauled its collection of spare cyborg parts to the top of the box-office heap this weekend, collecting $27.8 million during […]

You’d think that The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part would be a blockbuster. After all, LEGOs are all about blocks, right? But while The LEGO Movie 2 did cruise to a win this weekend, it’s leaning toward more of a bust. The newest LEGO flick earned an estimated $34.4 million, which easily outdistanced its […]

Maybe it’s only appropriate that Glass finished victorious for a third-straight weekend. Windows are made of the stuff, after all, and Glass showed once again that it knows how to … win dough. Not that it won that much in the grand scheme of things on this quiet Super Bowl weekend at the multiplex. The […]

For the second-straight weekend, M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass claimed dominion over the box office, earning the No. 1 slot. Its theatrical peers languished in its shadow, writhing in misery once again. Would that make Glass … double pained? Glass earned $19 million in North America, according to estimates, pushing its overall domestic gross to $73.6 […]

You’ve heard of the glass ceiling, right? That cliché took on a whole different meaning this weekend. Glass, the latest from director M. Night Shyamalan, created its own box-office ceiling this weekend, keeping its competition well underneath. It earned $40.5 million during the traditional three-day weekend, and $47 million if you toss in the receipts […]

If DC superheroes were a high school football team, Aquaman would’ve been the perennial backup placekicker: He was part of the team, sure, but not likely to get nominated for the homecoming court. His superpowers just didn’t feel all that … well, super. Nifty, yes. But if Lex Luther’s creating havoc in, say, Nebraska, Aquaman’s […]

Hey, there, friend! Glad you stopped by. Bad news, though: You might just as well move on. That’s right, move along. Read our review of Netflix’s Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (which was still in a handful of theaters over the weekend, as well as now streaming online, though Netflix didn’t report its earnings), or […]

The best thing about Thanksgiving? The leftovers. And this weekend, the same could be said of the box office—at least for the movies in question. With just one new release in theaters (and that one not very prominent), the weekend’s box-office derby featured a veritable cornucopia of reheated cinematic holdovers. Indeed, the whole top five […]
