    New York Times Says ‘Female Directors Gain Ground, Slowly.’ Should We Wait That Long?

    by Melissa Silverstein on January 16, 2013

    The great Carrie Rickey published a piece in the New York Times this past weekend with the depressing headline ‘Female Directors Gain Ground, Slowly’. The piece reported that in 2012, by their count, women directors hit a recent high of 9% of the 250 top grossing films.  That number...

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 14, 2013

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Takes Top Spot; Four Oscar Contenders Pass $100 Million

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 13, 2013

    The initial wide release of "Zero Dark Thirty" easily made number one for the weekend, becoming only the second of the nine Best Picture Oscar contenders to attain that position ("Argo" did so for one week in October).

    Box Office Preview: 'Zero Dark Thirty' Achieves Mission; 'Haunted House' Edges 'Gangster Squad' for Second Place

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 12, 2013

    "Zero Dark Thirty" stood out among eight Oscar Best Pictures nominees in release the weekend after the nominations with a strong $9 million and a likely dominant #1 position expected for the weekend.

    by Peter Knegt on January 7, 2013

    Last year, only one of the 9 best picture nominees -- "The Help" -- grossed more than $100 million. Four films most likely to be nominated for best picture this year have already hit $100 million, and three more may join them. So will the category be the biggest lineup ever?

    2012 Box Office Wrap: Wide Release Blockbusters, Underperformers and Bellyflops, Studio Winners and Losers

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 6, 2013
