We noted during last weekend’s box office report that Frozen 2, which came in at $130 million, was telling only half the story. A holiday mid-week like this week had with school’s closing, traveling, and lots of family visits to the … Continue reading Box Office: November 28 – December 1

As we get ready for really big box office numbers next weekend with the debut of Frozen II, this weekend saw the box office deal with three very different properties. Ford v Ferrari had been gaining some noise and traction ahead … Continue reading Box Office: November 15-17

September has been a quiet month overall with a couple of bright spots here and there. One of those was this weekend with Universal and DreamWorks coming out on top with Abominable. While the film doesn’t have a huge window in … Continue reading Box Office: September 27-29
The month of September continues to be a decent if light month on films depending on your interests as I’ve only managed to get enthused enough once to use my Regal Unlimited card. But that’s how this period goes! The … Continue reading Box Office: September 20-22
