    by Tom Brueggemann on December 1, 2012

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 25, 2012

    In a weekend that had adult audiences flocking to theaters in numbers rarely seen apart from Christmas and New Year's weeks, core specialized theaters struggled to get their normal share of the action.

    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. Like last year, a "Twilight"-dominated weekend (again, the second) leads the pack...

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 23, 2012

    Two days into the five-day Thankgiving holiday weekend, a pair of $100-million-plus wide releases opened on Wednesday, but both failed to make it into the top three, as holdovers "Breaking Dawn Part 2," "Skyfall," and "Lincoln" led the field. But overall business i...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: 'Twilight,' 'Skyfall' and 'Lincoln' Soar

    by Tom Brueggemann on November 18, 2012

    A wide variety of films succeeded this weekend, mostly well-reviewed pictures for adults-- with one franchise finale (“Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2”) and one non-holiday Disney animation hit ("Wreck-It-Ralph") delivering as expected.

    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.
