    Films Targeting Women Dominate the Box Office This Weekend

    by Melissa Silverstein on March 18, 2013

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 17, 2013

    A24’s “Spring Breakers” opened to the most unexpected limited success of any film in recent history with a two-city $90,000 per screen average: this for a filmmaker (Harmony Korine) whose past films have struggled to gross that much during their entire runs.

    Why 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Flopped

    by John Anderson on March 4, 2013

    The dwarfish $28 million domestic that Warner Bros.' “Jack the Giant Slayer” grossed over the weekend was what? A surprise? That the wheel-spinning Bryan Singer would make a soulless 3-D disaster film out of a timeless children’s story was hardly a shock. But the film’s anemic showing was indicativ...
