November is a good slow start to the holiday season with things really getting underway at Thanksgiving but there are a number of things that are brought out earlier to try and jumpstart things a bit more. This weekend saw three new films going wide and they were met with some mixed success overall. The big winner is The Grinch from Illumination, coming nearly twenty years after the previous live-action version. The film did a $66 million debut in North America and added $12.7 million overseas with a limited rollout. It’s hitting a lot of territories over the next month or … Continue reading Box Office: November 9-11
There’s a million points of coverage with the box office and everyone tries to come up with their own quip but largely end up in the same area. The simple truth is that even after the various controversies over Bohemian Rhapsody the film had a strong opening weekend with a $50 million take, exceeding expectations going into the weekend. With an “A” CinemaScore from audiences and a pretty even mix in gender, it leaned heavily to those twenty-five and over with almost 80% of the audience in that range. The film also racked up some good numbers overseas where it’s not … Continue reading Box Office: November 2-4

The early fall months and often a lot of August are considered months where you can’t do big business at the box office, especially after the heady days of spring and summer. But you’d think after seeing some films do huge numbers in February and even January that studios would realize you can do big numbers year round – with the right property. Sony got a lot of criticism for Venom without Spider-Man and the critics have not been kind to the film. But, in its opening weekend, it did $80 million in 4,250 locations with the tracking originally viewing it around … Continue reading Box Office: October 5-7
