    by Peter Knegt on Sun Dec 09 13:10:10 EST 2012

    Focus Features' "Hyde Park on Hudson" led a generally slow weekend at the indie box office. The film -- directed by Roger Michell and starring Bill Murray as Franklin D. Roosevelt -- debuted on 4 screens to a $83,280 gross, giving it by far the best per-theater-average of any film...

    Saturday Box Office Preview: Holdovers Keep Grosses on Positive Track

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Dec 08 18:45:45 EST 2012

    Lacking an early release of a Christmas blockbuster, this weekend is traditionally one of the weakest of the year. With only a single (soft) new film in play -- Millennium's Gerard Butler starrer "Playing for Keeps" (released by FilmDistrict) -- the surprise is that for Friday, the top ten actually ...

    by Anne Thompson on Wed Dec 05 13:08:00 EST 2012

    "Skyfall" is now the UK's biggest film in history, eclipsing "Avatar"'s £94 million with £94.27 million in 40 days (particularly staggering given James Cameron's sci-fi blockbuster got to that haul after 11 months, and with increased 3-D ticket prices).

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Dec 02 15:47:48 EST 2012

    Yet another initially successful NY opening of a doc about a performer ("Beware of Mr. Baker") competes with important expansions of several major awards contenders across the country.

    Saturday Box Office Preview: Weekend Dominated by Holdovers

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Dec 01 16:08:19 EST 2012

    A strong group of Oscar contending/older audience films led to a surge in what is usually the dead post-Thanksgiving weekend. With the same top five films as last weekend (although the final order might be slightly different), the top ten films Friday night grossed about 50% better than last year.

    Arthouse Audit: 'Hitchcock' and 'Rust and Bone' Fight for Attention

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Nov 25 16:27:28 EST 2012

    In a weekend that had adult audiences flocking to theaters in numbers rarely seen apart from Christmas and New Year's weeks, core specialized theaters struggled to get their normal share of the action.

    Thanksgiving Box Office Top Ten: Weekend Record, More Gravy than Turkeys

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Nov 25 12:52:42 EST 2012

    The post-Thanksgiving weekend soared this year, but not via the usual family films. Continuing the trend over the past several weeks, Oscar contenders appealing to older audiences provided the heft to elevate grosses. Like last year, a "Twilight"-dominated weekend (again, the second) leads the pack...

    Two days into the five-day Thankgiving holiday weekend, a pair of $100-million-plus wide releases opened on Wednesday, but both failed to make it into the top three, as holdovers "Breaking Dawn Part 2," "Skyfall," and "Lincoln" led the field. But overall business i...
