    Arthouse Audit: Four Docs and Oscar Shorts Program Buoy Specialized Weekend Box Office

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Feb 03 16:46:31 EST 2013

    After a January of weak specialized openings (led by First Run's "56 Up"), February is showing some life with four new documentary releases and a shorts program. The standouts are Sony Pictures Classics' Oscar-nominated "The Gatekeepers" in two cities and Zeitgeist's "Koch" in New York. Arthouses in...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: Low-Scoring Game Boosted by Veteran Holdovers

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Feb 03 13:29:15 EST 2013

    It was a piss-poor weekend at the box office. Grosses showed somewhat more strength Saturday than Friday. The Super Bowl always damages both audience turnout and viable new releases, but this looks like the worst in total gross since at least 2007, and less than that when higher ticket prices are in...

    Friday Box Office: Is It Time to Panic Yet?

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Feb 02 16:25:58 EST 2013

    Another post-holiday Friday, another dismal box office report. And with the Super Bowl upon us, the weekend is unlikely to get much better. The top ten films yesterday grossed around $22 million, compared to $31 million last year (also opposite The Big Game). This continues a trend for recent wee...

    MVPs of the Movies: Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams Top the List

    by Sophia Savage on Thu Jan 31 14:22:20 EST 2013

    What does it take to be one of the most valuable actors of all time? 24/7 Wall St. considered this and ranked almost 700 leading actors. They found that in order to top the list, an actor needed to have starred in not just one but several high-grossing franchises

    Specialty Box Office: Quartet of Debuts Find Respectable Numbers, But They're No Match For 'Quartet'

    by Peter Knegt on Sun Jan 27 17:57:01 EST 2013

    Despite not getting any traction this awards season, Dustin Hoffman's senior-audience skewing "Quartet" continued to find very impressive numbers at the specialty box office, which has been off to a slow start for newcomers this month.

    Arthouse Audit: VOD Vet 'John Dies at the End' Scores, 'Quartet' Builds

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 27 16:19:47 EST 2013

    The contrast between the fevered buying at the just completed Sundance and the pace of business, particularly for new openings, at specialized theaters was fairly stark this weekend. Among those new films reporting grosses, each opened in only one city (two in New York, one in Los Angeles), all gett...

    Weekend Box Office Top Ten: Weak Openers Led by 'Hansel and Gretel'

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sun Jan 27 13:26:44 EST 2013

    Things picked up on Saturday after poor box office performance Friday due to Eastern weather. But it was still a weak result overall, with the Top Ten down about 25% from last weekend (even without major football competition) and about $6 million under last year (which saw a slight bump for two new ...

    Weekend Box Office Preview: Weak Openers, 'Silver Linings' Holds Strong

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Jan 26 14:07:45 EST 2013

    Did you look at the movie ads this weekend and decide maybe it was a good time to stay home? Apparently you weren't alone. Three new openings failed to spark much interest, and combined with other post-Christmas releases that got whatever attention they deserved on their first few days, business col...

    by David Konow on Mon Jan 21 11:37:54 EST 2013

    This weekend, Universal Pictures opened the horror flick “Mama,” starring actress-of-the-moment Jessica Chastain, to a startling $28.1 million domestic gross over its first three days of release. And while it was produced by a studio, the film has all the earmarks of the low-bu...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Amour' and 'Quartet' Thrive in New Expansions

    by Tom Brueggemann on Mon Jan 21 11:01:34 EST 2013

    While distributors ponder how much to spend on new films showcased at Sundance, the business of opening and playing off previous acquisitions continues, with most of the success coming from higher-level films from top companies, particularly those in the middle of the Oscar race.

    Three films starring Best Actress Oscar nominees nabbed the top positions, while three other films loaded with "A" list male actors struggled at the weekend box office.

    by Tom Brueggemann on Sat Jan 19 18:15:00 EST 2013

    This weekend Jessica Chastain owns the box office, a rarity for actresses today.
