    Films Targeting Women Dominate the Box Office This Weekend

    by Melissa Silverstein on March 18, 2013

    Why 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Flopped

    by John Anderson on March 4, 2013

    The dwarfish $28 million domestic that Warner Bros.' “Jack the Giant Slayer” grossed over the weekend was what? A surprise?
