    Friday Box Office: Is It Time to Panic Yet?

    by Tom Brueggemann on February 2, 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...

    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

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

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 27, 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...

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 27, 2013

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

    by Tom Brueggemann on January 26, 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 Tom Brueggemann on January 21, 2013

    Sundance 2012 at the Box Office: Charting Last Year's Acquisitions

    by Peter Knegt on January 17, 2013

    Last year's Sundance Film Festival -- like the year before it -- saw a remarkable amount of deals go down that made clear the sales drought of the end of the last decade had come to an end.  Over 40 films were picked up for release, and most of them made their way to theaters in the past ye...
