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

    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?

    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...

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

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

    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...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: Weak Openers Led by 'Hansel and Gretel'

    Things picked up on Saturday after poor box office performance Friday due to Eastern weather.

    Weekend Box Office Preview: Weak Openers, 'Silver Linings' Holds Strong

    Did you look at the movie ads this weekend and decide maybe it was a good time to stay home? Apparently you weren't alone. Three new openings failed to spark much interest, and combined with other post-Christmas releases that got whatever attention they deserved on their first few days, business col...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Amour' and 'Quartet' Thrive in New Expansions

    While distributors ponder how much to spend on new films showcased at Sundance, the business of opening and playing off previous acquisitions continues, with most of the success coming from higher-level films from top companies, particularly those in the middle of the Oscar race.
