    by Gabe Toro on June 18, 2013

    We're about halfway through a year that has seen no seismic shift in business from previous ones. Earlier in 2013 it was clear the year was lacking and had no "The Hunger Games" or "The Avengers" to prop up overall stats. As we've eased into summer, however, the numbers have strengthened, and audien...

    by Tom Brueggemann on June 16, 2013

    Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" is the latest in a series of solid performers among limited specialized openings, joining "Frances Ha," "Before Midnight" and "Much Ado About Nothing" as above-average grossers.

    'Man of Steel' Hits Its Marks; 'This Is the End' Is Counterprogramming Hit

    by Tom Brueggemann on June 16, 2013

    Last week Steven Spielberg predicted that the movie business could soon implode-- speaking to film students at USC with George Lucas--should a handful of huge-budgeted films flop at the same time.

    by Tom Brueggemann on June 15, 2013

    "Man of Steel," Warner Bros.' reboot of the "Superman" franchise, grossed a super $44 million on Friday (including midnight shows, but not Thursday evening Walmart-promotion screenings, which took in an addition $12 million).
