    Weekend Box Office: 'Evil Dead' Rises to Top, 'G.I. Joe' Plummets, Fights for Second with 'Croods'

    Sony's remake of "Evil Dead" performed better than expected, but fell just below the best horror film opening of the year. "Evil Dead" took #1 for the weekend, a position Paramount hoped to retain for its expensive "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." That film is a global hit, but is fighting for the #2 spot w...

    'Evil Dead' Leads Friday Pack, 'Jurassic Park 3D' Stomps in Second

    "The Evil Dead" opened well enough on Friday to make it a likely fifth horror-related film to make #1 in 2013. The twelve top-ranked horror flicks thus far have kept the year's to-date grosses from falling off more than they might have otherwise due to several underperforming costly would-be tentpo...

    Indie Box Office Quarterly: The Winners and Losers of 2013 So Far

    The first quarter of 2013 has come and gone, and it's unlikely to have left too many film studio execs in good moods. The overall box office is down 13% from last year, with "Oz: The Great and Powerful" and "Identity Thief" the only new films to break the $100 million mark (though "The Croods" and "...

    Arthouse Audit: Star Power Pushes 'The Place Beyond the Pines' to Triumphant Opening

    "The Place Beyond the Pines" is the second limited opening of the month to open better than expected, and among the strongest ever early-year launches.

    Box Office: 'G.I. Joe' Delivers Very Good Friday; 'Place Beyond the Pines' Has Excellent Limited Opening; 'The Host' Disappoints

    Last weekend's two $30-million openers have been followed by a strong Easter weekend that looks to top last year's. Led by Paramount's delayed release of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" (with 3-D added and a beefed-up role for Channing Tatum), Friday's top ten films grossed an estimated $54 million, up from...

    MPAA Releases Ticket Stats And Contrary to What Hollywood Wants Us To Believe, Women Do Go To The Movies

    It's the time of the year when the MPAA (the lobbying group from Hollywood) releases their annual stats.  Since Hollywood films are so skewed towards the young boys I always think the stats are going to come out and give me an understanding as to why women consistently are dismissed as an audie...

    Arthouse Audit: 'Gimme the Loot' Delivers; Two New Comedies Flounder

    With A24 taking last week's limited smash "Spring Breakers" wide quickly to mainly non-arthouses, this week's new films offer only modest promise for future bookings. IFC's "Gimme the Loot" had a standout New York opening, but the company, which thrives with appropriate Video on Demand placement, is...

    Films Targeting Women Dominate the Box Office This Weekend

    Maybe we can call this a bit of poetic justice but it looks like the big boys are floundering and the girls are on the rise.  This weekend, the female targeted, yet not very feminist, Oz - The Great and Powerful was again number 1 at the box office.  (I haven't seen the movie but here are ...
