    Saturday Box Office Preview: Holdovers Keep Grosses on Positive Track

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 8, 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 ...

    'Skyfall' is Biggest Film in UK History, Eclipsing 'Avatar'

    by Anne Thompson on December 5, 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 December 2, 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. "Silver Linings Playbook" kept at about the same level of theaters as last week, and held quite well. While both "H...

    Saturday Box Office Preview: Weekend Dominated by Holdovers

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 1, 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 November 25, 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 November 25, 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...

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 23, 2012

    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...

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 18, 2012

    A wide variety of films succeeded this weekend, mostly well-reviewed pictures for adults-- with one franchise finale (“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2”) and one non-holiday Disney animation hit ("Wreck-It-Ralph") delivering as expected.
