    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...

    Catching Up With Foreign Language and Documentary Feature Nominees

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 14, 2013

    Three categories - Foreign Language Film, Documentary Feature and Animated Feature - frequently have nominees that have received little or no U.S. theatrical play, and even sometimes no set playdate ahead. Things look better this year, but still not ideal for those who want to see all the nominees p...

    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). Unusually, four Oscar rivals have already grossed over $100 million, one is closi...

    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. But the shocker so far is Open Road's unheralded "The Haunted House," which for its opening day seem...

    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

    It's not easy figuring out what films were hits or misses (or something inbetween). Domestic gross totals don't tell the whole story. You need to look at revenue as well as production and marketing costs to assess global returns. (Remember, theaters return about half of what they take in at theater ...

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 6, 2013

    Late year releases, many expanding, dominate the specialized market this weekend. By far the biggest, "Zero Dark Thirty," is mainly playing in upscale multiplexes, providing fierce competition to such already strong wide releases as "Django Unchained" and "Les Miserables."
