    by Tom Brueggemann on December 30, 2012

    Post-Holiday Weekend Box Office: Three Top Films Battle for Placement

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 30, 2012

    Three juggernauts grossing $28 million or more dominated a strong post-Christmas weekend, all jockeying for position since last Tuesday. The shakeout led to the top film on December 25 ("Les Miserables") falling to third by the weekend, beat out by top dog "The Hobbit" followed by "Django Unchained....

    by Peter Knegt on December 30, 2012

    While "The Hobbit," "Django Unchained" and "Les Miserables" brought a huge boost to the post-Christmas studio box office, a bunch of platform release holdovers -- namely "Zero Dark Thirty," "Amour," "The Impossible" and "Silver Linings...

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 29, 2012

    It's an embarrassment of riches. The days following Christmas have been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs in grosses.

    Bigger Than 'Pulp Fiction'? Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Earns $34 Million in its First 3 Days

    by Jay A. Fernandez on December 28, 2012

    Despite -- or, more likely, because of -- the debate raging around Quentin Tarantino's latest genre pastiche "Django Unchained," the film has opened to especially large numbers at the box office, even in its position as perverse holiday counterprogramming. The Weinstein Co., Tarantino&...

    by Gabe Toro on December 27, 2012

    So we’re completing a year of record domestic box office returns, but it’s impossible to ignore that the international market is a hefty player, taking a bigger overall chunk of the pie.

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 26, 2012

    On the surface 2012 doesn't look like a game-changer, after a decade of film business upheaval. In many ways the top fifteen top-grossers are all-too familiar--sequels, tentpoles, animated family fare and a comedy. But dig into the hits a bit and there are developments that could change how future f...

    Pre-Holiday Box Office is Weak: Christmas Can't Come Too Soon for Studios, Theaters

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 23, 2012

    Pre-Christmas weekends vary wildly in performance year by year, depending on where the dates fall (the closer to Christmas, the worse the business until December 25) and the strength of new openings.

    Warning signs for this year's year-end box office prospects appeared in Friday's numbers.
