    by Peter Knegt on February 18, 2013

    Sony Pictures Classics continued to belatedly benefit from its Oscar nominations, with foreign language film nominee "No" -- directed by Pablo Larraín and starring Gael Garcia Bernal -- opened on 4 screens this weekend to excellent numbers. The film took in $74,476 for a $18,619 ave...

    Oscars: The Box Office Bonanza of This Year's Best Picture Nominees

    by Peter Knegt on February 18, 2013

    Over a month ago -- before the Oscar nominations were announced -- we asked whether we were heading toward the biggest box office ever for a best picture race. In terms of the overall combined gross of the nominees, we acknowledged that was a bit of a longshot thanks to the inclusion of "Avatar...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: Bruce Willis is Back, But Melissa McCarthy Stays Close, 'Silver Linings' Passes $100 Million

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 16, 2013

    Good news: four wide releases grossed over $20 million for the four-day Presidents' Day weekend. On paper that looks solid. Pictures with varied appeal--male action, comedy, young female, kids--marked a return to more normal moviegoing after weeks of adult-sewing films, with a few genre films grabbi...

    Weekend Box Office Returns to Normal: 'Good Day to Die Hard' & 'Safe Haven' Open, 'Silver Linings' Heads for $100 Million

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 16, 2013

    After a disastrous weekend when grosses dipped to half of last year's, two new releases and one strong holdover continued the Thursday Valentine's Day rebound. Friday's Top Ten total is close to the 2012 sum. Three of the week's four new films premiered a day earlier. All three fell off their initia...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Lore' and 'Charles Swan' Modest Openers, Holdovers Stay Strong

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 10, 2013

    With few significant new openings these days and competition for multiple adult-appealing Oscar contenders still significant, "Lore" and "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" both posted just average opening grosses. The snow in New York likely had some impact on box office there (both fil...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Identity Thief' First Breakout of 2013 Amid Weak Field

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 10, 2013

    A weekend standout amid weather closings, "Identity Thief" outdid expectations for a terrific opening. While a number of recent releases and older Oscar contenders held up well (following the depleted Super Bowl weekend), most or all of the Top 10 films are successes. So what's the worry?

    Friday Box Office: 'Identity Thief' Outpaces Weak Pack

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 9, 2013

    The good news: Universal's Melissa McCarthy comedy "Identity Thief" scored the best Friday gross of any film so far this year. Battling both a Northeastern blizzard-- which closed theaters across the most populated stretch of the country-- and inferior reviews, it easily surpassed the first-day gros...

    Arthouse Audit: Four Docs and Oscar Shorts Program Buoy Specialized Weekend Box Office

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 3, 2013

    After a January of weak specialized openings (led by First Run's "56 Up"), February is showing some life with four new documentary releases and a shorts program. The standouts are Sony Pictures Classics' Oscar-nominated "The Gatekeepers" in two cities and Zeitgeist's "Koch" in New York. Arthouses in...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: Low-Scoring Game Boosted by Veteran Holdovers

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 3, 2013

    It was a piss-poor weekend at the box office. Grosses showed somewhat more strength Saturday than Friday. The Super Bowl always damages both audience turnout and viable new releases, but this looks like the worst in total gross since at least 2007, and less than that when higher ticket prices are in...

    Friday Box Office: Is It Time to Panic Yet?

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 2, 2013

    Another post-holiday Friday, another dismal box office report. And with the Super Bowl upon us, the weekend is unlikely to get much better. The top ten films yesterday grossed around $22 million, compared to $31 million last year (also opposite The Big Game). This continues a trend for recent wee...

    MVPs of the Movies: Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams Top the List

    by Sophia Savage on January 31, 2013

    What does it take to be one of the most valuable actors of all time? 24/7 Wall St. considered this and ranked almost 700 leading actors. They found that in order to top the list, an actor needed to have starred in not just one but several high-grossing franchises

    Specialty Box Office: Quartet of Debuts Find Respectable Numbers, But They're No Match For 'Quartet'

    by Peter Knegt on January 27, 2013

    Despite not getting any traction this awards season, Dustin Hoffman's senior-audience skewing "Quartet" continued to find very impressive numbers at the specialty box office, which has been off to a slow start for newcomers this month.

    Arthouse Audit: VOD Vet 'John Dies at the End' Scores, 'Quartet' Builds

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 27, 2013

    The contrast between the fevered buying at the just completed Sundance and the pace of business, particularly for new openings, at specialized theaters was fairly stark this weekend. Among those new films reporting grosses, each opened in only one city (two in New York, one in Los Angeles), all gett...
