    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.

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 25, 2012

    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.

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 17, 2012

    The opening of the final "Twilight" film leads all grosses this weekend, but it's not the only box office news.
