    by Jay A. Fernandez on January 2, 2013

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 2, 2013

    The first day of 2013 saw grosses for the top 10 films rise about $3 million - better than 6% - above New Year's 2012. The top 10 stayed the same as for the weekend, with the order finally stabilizing after much shifting, particularly in the top 3. But the film that looks strongest going forward cou...

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 30, 2012

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 30, 2012

    Three juggernauts grossing $28 million or more dominated a strong post-Christmas weekend, all jockeying for position since last Tuesday. The shakeout led to the top film on December 25 ("Les Miserables") falling to third by the weekend, beat out by top dog "The Hobbit" followed by "Django Unchained....

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 29, 2012

    It's an embarrassment of riches. The days following Christmas have been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs in grosses.

    Bigger Than 'Pulp Fiction'? Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Earns $34 Million in its First 3 Days

    by Jay A. Fernandez on December 28, 2012

    Despite -- or, more likely, because of -- the debate raging around Quentin Tarantino's latest genre pastiche "Django Unchained," the film has opened to especially large numbers at the box office, even in its position as perverse holiday counterprogramming. The Weinstein Co., Tarantino&...

    by Gabe Toro on December 27, 2012

    So we’re completing a year of record domestic box office returns, but it’s impossible to ignore that the international market is a hefty player, taking a bigger overall chunk of the pie.

    by Tom Brueggemann on December 26, 2012
