    Sundance 2012 at the Box Office: Charting Last Year's Acquisitions

    by Peter Knegt on Thu Jan 17 12:33:35 EST 2013

    Last year's Sundance Film Festival -- like the year before it -- saw a remarkable amount of deals go down that made clear the sales drought of the end of the last decade had come to an end.  Over 40 films were picked up for release, and most of them made their way to theaters in the past ye...

    by Tom Brueggemann on Thu Jan 17 06:00:03 EST 2013

    As the buying frenzy for Sundance 2013 begins -- bolstered by the unexpected Oscar nominations for last year's grand jury prize-winner "Beasts of the Southern Wild" -- let's look at what happened to the rest of the 2012 acquisitions. Last year, the prices for top films fell a bit below 2011, after s...

    New York Times Says ‘Female Directors Gain Ground, Slowly.’ Should We Wait That Long?

    by Melissa Silverstein on Wed Jan 16 13:00:00 EST 2013

    The great Carrie Rickey published a piece in the New York Times this past weekend with the depressing headline ‘Female Directors Gain Ground, Slowly’. The piece reported that in 2012, by their count, women directors hit a recent high of 9% of the 250 top grossing films.  That number...

    Catching Up With Foreign Language and Documentary Feature Nominees

    by Tom Brueggemann on Mon Jan 14 06:33:00 EST 2013

    Three categories - Foreign Language Film, Documentary Feature and Animated Feature - frequently have nominees that have received little or no U.S. theatrical play, and even sometimes no set playdate ahead. Things look better this year, but still not ideal for those who want to see all the nominees p...

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 13 16:22:48 EST 2013

    Two films with senior citizen casts stood out above the other specialized limited releases this weekend, the first after the Oscar nomination.

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Takes Top Spot; Four Oscar Contenders Pass $100 Million

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 13 13:23:24 EST 2013

    The initial wide release of "Zero Dark Thirty" easily made number one for the weekend, becoming only the second of the nine Best Picture Oscar contenders to attain that position ("Argo" did so for one week in October). Unusually, four Oscar rivals have already grossed over $100 million, one is closi...

    Box Office Preview: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Achieves Mission; 'Haunted House' Edges 'Gangster Squad' for Second Place

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Jan 12 14:49:51 EST 2013

    "Zero Dark Thirty" stood out among eight Oscar Best Pictures nominees in release the weekend after the nominations with a strong $9 million and a likely dominant #1 position expected for the weekend. But the shocker so far is Open Road's unheralded "The Haunted House," which for its opening day seem...

    Oscars: Are We About To Have The Biggest Ever Box Office For a Best Picture Race?

    by Peter Knegt on Mon Jan 07 11:28:10 EST 2013

    Last year, only one of the 9 best picture nominees -- "The Help" -- grossed more than $100 million. Four films most likely to be nominated for best picture this year have already hit $100 million, and three more may join them. So will the category be the biggest lineup ever?

    2012 Box Office Wrap: Wide Release Blockbusters, Underperformers and Bellyflops, Studio Winners and Losers

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 06 17:35:57 EST 2013

    It's not easy figuring out what films were hits or misses (or something inbetween). Domestic gross totals don't tell the whole story. You need to look at revenue as well as production and marketing costs to assess global returns. (Remember, theaters return about half of what they take in at theater ...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Expands Strongly, '56 Up' First Doc Hit of 2013?

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 06 16:05:28 EST 2013

    Late year releases, many expanding, dominate the specialized market this weekend. By far the biggest, "Zero Dark Thirty," is mainly playing in upscale multiplexes, providing fierce competition to such already strong wide releases as "Django Unchained" and "Les Miserables."

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Texas Chainsaw' Wreaks Havoc; 'Django' Bests 'Les Mis;' 'Zero Dark Thirty' Soars

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 06 12:55:05 EST 2013

    Three strong Christmas pictures have been battling for box office supremacy for ten days, with "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," "Django Unchained" and "Les Miserables" switching positions almost daily. But none of them ended up on top this weekend. Younger audiences, bored with the the adult an...

    Younger moviegoers eagerly greeted Lionsgate's "Texas Chainsaw" (3D and 2D), the first new horror release since Halloween with a $10 million-plus Friday gross, much bigger than expected and heading to a likely #1 spot for the weekend.

    by Peter Knegt on Sat Jan 05 13:22:47 EST 2013

    After three weeks of holding tight in 5 theaters, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" expanded to 60 theaters this weekend and showed no signs of slowing down. On Friday night the acclaimed, controversial film grossed $825,000 for a $13,750 average. That puts it on track for a weekend...
