    Friday Box Office Top Ten: Trouble With the Grosses, Lawrence Leads Weak Field

    There's no getting around the truth: business continues to be bad. Although the top ten grossed a bit above last week's mediocre numbers, by this point most year's numbers are recovering with new, stronger releases upgrading performance.

    Arthouse Audit: Off To the Races With 'The Master' & 'Arbitrage'

    Not only did "The Master" (limited) and "Arbitrage" (wider and also available outside of theater viewing) do great business this weekend, they did so at what is usually a slow time of the year.
