    Melissa McCarthy Rules Weekend Box Office Top Ten

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 24, 2013

    On a Sunday when studio films look to take home most of the top Oscars (not always the case), their new pictures aren't playing well with audiences. Only three studio pics make the top ten, while mini-majors and independents carry most of the weight. The continued success of such companies as Weinst...

    'Snitch' Edges Out 'Identity Thief' for Friday in Another Down Weekend

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 23, 2013

    Oscar Weekend is often not prime time for new openings. But this year looks weak even by that standard. Continuing a pattern that hasn't varied now for several weeks, grosses for the day were down again, this Friday about 25% from last year (also right before the awards).

    Arthouse Audit: Smart Audiences Give 'No' a 'Yes'

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 18, 2013

    While it's been a spotty 2013 so far for new specialized openings, Sony Pictures Classics' Chilean-election drama (and Oscar nominee) "No" was a winner over the four-day holiday weekend in limited initial release, proving itself the strongest new art-house performer since "Quartet" last month, and f...

    Oscars: The Box Office Bonanza of This Year's Best Picture Nominees

    by Peter Knegt on February 18, 2013

    Over a month ago -- before the Oscar nominations were announced -- we asked whether we were heading toward the biggest box office ever for a best picture race. In terms of the overall combined gross of the nominees, we acknowledged that was a bit of a longshot thanks to the inclusion of "Avatar...

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 16, 2013

    Good news: four wide releases grossed over $20 million for the four-day Presidents' Day weekend. On paper that looks solid. Pictures with varied appeal--male action, comedy, young female, kids--marked a return to more normal moviegoing after weeks of adult-sewing films, with a few genre films grabbi...

    Weekend Box Office Returns to Normal: 'Good Day to Die Hard' & 'Safe Haven' Open, 'Silver Linings' Heads for $100 Million

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 16, 2013

    After a disastrous weekend when grosses dipped to half of last year's, two new releases and one strong holdover continued the Thursday Valentine's Day rebound. Friday's Top Ten total is close to the 2012 sum. Three of the week's four new films premiered a day earlier. All three fell off their initia...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Lore' and 'Charles Swan' Modest Openers, Holdovers Stay Strong

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 10, 2013

    With few significant new openings these days and competition for multiple adult-appealing Oscar contenders still significant, "Lore" and "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" both posted just average opening grosses. The snow in New York likely had some impact on box office there (both fil...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Identity Thief' First Breakout of 2013 Amid Weak Field

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 10, 2013

    A weekend standout amid weather closings, "Identity Thief" outdid expectations for a terrific opening. While a number of recent releases and older Oscar contenders held up well (following the depleted Super Bowl weekend), most or all of the Top 10 films are successes. So what's the worry?

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 9, 2013

    The good news: Universal's Melissa McCarthy comedy "Identity Thief" scored the best Friday gross of any film so far this year.
