    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Sep 29 16:20:45 EDT 2012

    For the first weekend in a while, there's been a real uptick in business. The top 10 films on Friday grossed over $30 million, compared to $23.5 million last Friday and $26 million a year ago. Led by two Sony releases in the top positions, followed by indie holdover "End of Watch," the wide range of...

    by Tom Brueggemann on Mon Sep 24 18:51:57 EDT 2012

    After a rare tie for #1 in the Sunday box office estimates, the gritty acclaimed police drama "End of Watch" emerged as the clear winner, easily outpacing the Jennifer Lawrence horror film "House at the End of the Street," which barely edged out "Trouble With the Curve" for second.

    Arthouse Audit: The Perks of Being a Young Adult

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Sep 23 15:53:32 EDT 2012

    Another week, another spectacular limited September (or anytime) opening as "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" exceeds expectations and shows promise for a strong expansion. Though not at the level of "The Master" last week (whose expansion is covered in the Top Ten wrapup), with appeal to a broad sw...

    by Peter Knegt on Sun Sep 23 12:48:26 EDT 2012

    Top Ten Weekend Box Office: Slump Continues, Lawrence vs. Gyllenhaal/Pena for Number One UPDATED

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Sep 23 12:41:30 EDT 2012

    The order for the top three is uncertain until Sunday actuals are reported Monday, with an unusual tie as of now for #1. Among those two films - "House at the End of the Street" and "End of Watch" - the latter, in fewer theaters, had the higher per screen average. For their modest level of expense a...

    Friday Box Office Top Ten: Trouble With the Grosses, Lawrence Leads Weak Field

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Sep 22 16:29:04 EDT 2012

    There's no getting around the truth: business continues to be bad. Although the top ten grossed a bit above last week's mediocre numbers, by this point most year's numbers are recovering with new, stronger releases upgrading performance. But compared to a year ago, grosses are down by a disastrous o...

    Arthouse Audit: Off To the Races With 'The Master' & 'Arbitrage'

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Sep 16 16:08:59 EDT 2012

    Not only did "The Master" (limited) and "Arbitrage" (wider and also available outside of theater viewing) do great business this weekend, they did so at what is usually a slow time of the year. The same weekend in 2011 saw "My Weekend With Margueritte" and "Restless" open to modest at best results. ...

    Top Ten Weekend Box Office: Two Paul Andersons Rule UPDATED

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Sep 16 12:58:00 EDT 2012

    Although the weekend's top ten grosses- totaling around $65 million--were a nice boost from last weekend's disastrous $45 million, they still represent a drop of more than 25% from the same weekend last year. Much of the difference comes from this year's 3-D Disney reissue falling short of last year...

    Superheroes, CGI Bears & Channing Tatum: The Box Office Year To Date

    by Matthew Klekner on Wed Sep 12 18:15:02 EDT 2012

    By now you’ve probably heard that summer movie attendance reached the lowest point in the past 20 years (and indeed, this past weekend saw the worst total gross among the top 10 in at least four years). This may come as a surprise to you, but it actually fits into the historical pattern playing out ...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: No Major New Releases Brings Disaster UPDATED

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Sep 09 13:13:00 EDT 2012

    Don't look now, but this could end up being the lowest grossing weekend in theaters since at least 2008. And if you look at admissions, far worse.
