    by Tom Brueggemann on August 5, 2012

    After last weekend's Olympics-be-damned slate of high pedigree new films, the second weekend provided only one with real expectations - Sundance Premiere section acquisition "Celeste and Jesse Forever."

    Studio Weekend Box Office: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Wins the Gold Vs. New Competition UPDATED TOP TEN ANALYSIS

    by Tom Brueggemann on August 5, 2012

    Nothing could touch Chris Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" at the box office this weekend. Grosses for the top wide releases came in at about below 27% of the same weekend last year, mostly due to the ongoing impact of the Olympics. "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes" debuted that weekend, with a w...

    Weekend Preview: 'Total Recall' a Noisy, Shallow, Costly Misfire

    by Sophia Savage on August 2, 2012

    For a reported budget of $200 million, you'd think that if nothing else "Total Recall" would be visually dazzling. Sadly, Len Wiseman's futuristic universe lacks believable depth and texture, and the actors are stuck with a truly uninspired script. A zero-gravity sequence is an exception to the othe...

    Arthouse Audit: New Releases Led by 'Ruby Sparks' Are Hurt By Olympics

    by Tom Brueggemann on July 29, 2012

    Weekend Box Office: Business As Usual? No, It's the Olympics, Stupid

    by Tom Brueggemann on July 29, 2012

    As the film industry worries about audience fears at movie theaters, there's a temptation to pass some quick judgments about the long-term impact of the Aurora tragedy on movie attendance. This weekend at least, we should not overlook the more important X factor ---the opening of the Olympics. That ...
