    Box Office: 'G.I. Joe' Delivers Very Good Friday; 'Place Beyond the Pines' Has Excellent Limited Opening; 'The Host' Disappoints

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 30, 2013

    Last weekend's two $30-million openers have been followed by a strong Easter weekend that looks to top last year's. Led by Paramount's delayed release of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" (with 3-D added and a beefed-up role for Channing Tatum), Friday's top ten films grossed an estimated $54 million, up from...

    MPAA Releases Ticket Stats And Contrary to What Hollywood Wants Us To Believe, Women Do Go To The Movies

    by Melissa Silverstein on March 25, 2013

    Arthouse Audit: 'Gimme the Loot' Delivers; Two New Comedies Flounder

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 24, 2013

    With A24 taking last week's limited smash "Spring Breakers" wide quickly to mainly non-arthouses, this week's new films offer only modest promise for future bookings. IFC's "Gimme the Loot" had a standout New York opening, but the company, which thrives with appropriate Video on Demand placement, is...

    by Peter Knegt on March 24, 2013

    A24 went for it with "Spring Breakers" this weekend. After a massive limited debut last weekend -- taking in $263,002 from just three screens and managing one of the 25 best per-theater-averages ($87,667) ever -- the Harmony Korine film went from 3 to 1,104 theaters as most of the country is on the ...

    Films Targeting Women Dominate the Box Office This Weekend

    by Melissa Silverstein on March 18, 2013

    Maybe we can call this a bit of poetic justice but it looks like the big boys are floundering and the girls are on the rise.  This weekend, the female targeted, yet not very feminist, Oz - The Great and Powerful was again number 1 at the box office.  (I haven't seen the movie but here are ...

    Arthouse Audit: Record Surprise 'Spring Breakers' Puts New Distrib A24 On Map

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 17, 2013

    A24’s “Spring Breakers” opened to the most unexpected limited success of any film in recent history with a two-city $90,000 per screen average: this for a filmmaker (Harmony Korine) whose past films have struggled to gross that much during their entire runs.

    by Tom Brueggemann on March 17, 2013

    With “Oz: The Great and Powerful” holding well and “The Call” opening better than expected, this weekend showed more 2013 weakness. Total gross for the top 10 films was around $93 million, up from last year’s $88, but down from last weekend’s $124 million. Although several lower budget films are fi...
