    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. With the debuting films this year ranging for modest to weak, whatever strength there was came from ...

    Pre-Holiday Box Office: 'Jack Reacher' Best of So-So New Openers

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 22, 2012

    Warning signs for this year's year-end box office prospects appeared in Friday's numbers. Even though pre-Christmas Friday was two days earlier this year (generally the closer the day is to the holiday, the fewer people are going to movies), the take for the Top Ten was only $28 million yesterday, c...

    Pre-Holiday Box Office: 'Zero Dark 30' 'Amour' Openings Boost Oscar Chances; 'Guilt Trip' 'Monsters 3D' Start Slow

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 20, 2012

    Four new films opened midweek, during the pre-Christmas period when most people postpone their moviegoing until the holiday. "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Amour" both opened well in limited release in NY/LA, particularly for the date. The two wide studio releases -- "Guilt Tr...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'The Hobbit' Breaks Records, But What Does It Mean?

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 16, 2012

    "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" delivered about 70% of the top ten revenue in the pre-Christmas doldrums. Grosses almost doubled from last weekend and climbed about 13% from last year, making this a very successful weekend indeed. Yes, "The Hobbit" set a record for December weekend openings--...

    Specialty Box Office: 'Silver Linings' Keeps Showing Its Legs In Slow Weekend; 'The Other Son' Hits $1 Million Mark

    by Peter Knegt on December 16, 2012

    With few specialty openers to compete with, a handful of November releases benefited from a calm before an anticipated Christmas storm that begins next weekend with the limited debuts of "Amour" and "Zero Dark Thirty." The film that perhaps had the impressive performance was...

    Saturday Top Ten Preview: 'The Hobbit' Gobbles Up 80% of Box Office, 'Lincoln' Strong

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 15, 2012

    As expected, Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" overcame a turbulent production history, mixed reviews and a nearly three-hour length to open strong. The $37-million-plus gross included some $13 million from midnight shows: about one million people on a December weeknight attended t...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Hyde Park on Hudson' Opens Just OK, 'Silver Linings' Takes It Slow

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 9, 2012

    The only high-profile specialty release this weekend was "Hyde Park on the Hudson" from Focus, normally a prime date for late year high profile releases (last year, "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Young Adult" both premiered). "Hyde Park" did respectable business under difficult circumstances, but at ...

    by Peter Knegt on December 9, 2012

    Saturday Box Office Preview: Holdovers Keep Grosses on Positive Track

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 8, 2012

    Lacking an early release of a Christmas blockbuster, this weekend is traditionally one of the weakest of the year. With only a single (soft) new film in play -- Millennium's Gerard Butler starrer "Playing for Keeps" (released by FilmDistrict) -- the surprise is that for Friday, the top ten actually ...
