    Weekend Preview: 'Iron Man 3' a Smart Superhero Flick; Critics Applaud 'What Maisie Knew' and 'Something in the Air,' Mixed on 'Post Tenebras Lux'

    by Anne Thompson and Ryan Lattanzio on May 3, 2013

    This weekend, the latest installment of "Iron Man" soars through multiplexes after racking up more than $300 million overseas. Could it score a $150 million opening, or beat 2012's number one movie, "The Avengers"' $1.5 billion total worldwide gross? It is a Marvel sequel, after all.

    Arthouse Audit: 'Mud' Scores Sole Strong Indie Opener Amid Specialized Market Struggles

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 28, 2013

    "Mud" nearly made the weekend box office top 10 in only 363 theaters, towering over all the other new openings this week, none of which had a PSA of even $12,000 with limited New York/Los Angeles two to four theater openings. For the third time in several weeks, and in this case already in the first...

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 28, 2013

    The big news this weekend: Disney/Marvel's "Iron Man 3" opened in most of the world between Wednesday and Friday; its $195 million gross in 42 territories is running ahead of even last year's "number one global blockbuster "The Avengers," which initially grossed $185 million in similar dates.

    Specialty Box Office: 'Mud' Starts Off Strong; 'At Any Price' Tanks

    by Peter Knegt on April 28, 2013

    Jeff Nichols' "Mud" started off very strong in its first frame this weekend. Opening on 363 screens, it was at a much bigger risk than typical platform releases starting in a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles. But it paid off -- thanks perhaps to the presence of Matthew McConaughey...

    More 'Pain' Than 'Gain' in Friday Box Office

    by Tom Brueggemann on April 27, 2013

    The expected May blockbusters can't come quickly enough. Yesterday's top 10 grosses, including two underperforming new releases with prominent stars, had the smallest total since early February. At $23 million, this marked not only a sharp drop from last week's $29 million, but last year's $28 milli...

    CinemaCon Heavyweight Panel Debates Windows, Social Media, State of Industry

    by Anne Thompson on April 26, 2013

    It's easy to look at the Hollywood studios and national theater chains as old sticks-in-the-mud who are refusing to change with the times, but truth is, a lot of smart folks are trying to get ahead of the game--in order to beat out their rivals.

    Indie Box Office Preview: How Much 'Mud' Money Will McConaughey and Company Make?

    by Peter Knegt on April 26, 2013

    Matthew McConaughey continues a rather constant presence in movie theaters this past year or so with "Mud" -- one of the best reviewed films of his recent lot (which also includes "Magic Mike," "The Paperboy," "Killer Joe" and "Bernie" -- all in the past 12 months). Almost a year after it debuted in...

    'Django Unchained' Will Show in China: Tarantino Agrees to SARFT Demand for More Cuts

    by Anne Thompson on April 26, 2013

    Hollywood sees dollar signs when they look at China. It's the land of new opportunity. But navigating with this burgeoning market has its hazards. The main issue is one that will never be resolved, not on the creative co-production side and not at the distribution end either. And that is SARFT, the ...

    by Anne Thompson on April 23, 2013

    After seeing several CinemaCon studio presentations in a row, you start to see the retreads coming. The requisite rehash of 2012 hits, adding up to $4.1 billion worldwide, did not reveal that both "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Men in Black 3" cost too much to return serious profits, or that the glob...
