THIS WEEK'S THEATRICAL RELEASES:
"Red 2": This sequel to 2010's surprise hit "Red," which chronicled the antics of a group of former black-ops agents who were marked for assassination by a new breed of much-younger agents, doesn't nearly match up to the original. Returning are Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, …
Weekend Box Office: Catching Fire Sets November Record Ablaze
Chris Kavan - wrote on 11/25/13 at 12:20 AM CT
The question going into this weekend wasn't whether The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was going to be the top box office draw - the question was just how good it was going to open. While early estimates has some saying it could surpass the $174.1 million that Iron Man 3 brought in, Catching Fire wasn't quite up to that challenge. Yet it still managed to topple at least one record and, depending on …

After two weeks at the top, Thor is going to have to take the backseat to the next big movie. And this time, it's going to be a tidal wave. When the original Hunger Games hit, everyone knew it was based on a popular YA novel and starred some of the most talked about up-and-coming young actors in Hollywood. With Catching Fire - there are no unknowns - Hungers Games was a monster hit - taking in …

Weekend Box Office: Thor Repeats but Best Man Holiday Makes the Biggest Waves
Chris Kavan - wrote on 11/17/13 at 07:55 PM CT
It was no surprise that Thor took the top spot at the box office for the second weekend. However, it may be a bit of a surprise that The Best Man Holiday nearly took the top spot and was less than $8 million behind the mighty Marvel hero. Chalk it up to good timing, good marketing or good word-of-mouth - but Best Man was really the big news over the weekend. Granted, next week is going to see …
New in Theaters Nov. 15: The Best Man Holiday, Nebraska
Chris Kavan - wrote on 11/14/13 at 07:12 AM CT
With Thor still in full swing - this weekend's new releases are a bit on the light side. You could call this the calm before the holiday storm - as the next few weekends are going to be dominated by the likes of Hungers Games, The Hobbit, Anchorman 2 and Frozen, amongst others. This week only sees one major wide release film and another limited release (before a nationwide expansion) from my …

THIS WEEK'S THEATRICAL RELEASES:
"Frances Ha": Director Noah Baumbach has a knack for taking the mundane detritus of everyday life and weaving it into fascinating cinematic journeys, beginning with the all-too-talky "Kicking and Screaming" (1995) through the depressing but intensely honest and real "The …
Weekend Box Office: Thor is Mighty in Easy First Place Finish
Chris Kavan - wrote on 11/10/13 at 09:06 PM CT
It was a nice weekend for Marvel as Thor: The Dark World topped the box office. It was an easy win for the superhero and proved that the franchise isn't in any danger as post-Avenger films continue to see a nice bump. With Captain America still upcoming, it will be interesting to see if the trend holds as Phase 2 continues to show a lot of promise. Otherwise, things were a bit quiet as the next …
New in Theaters Nov. 8th: Thor: The Dark World, About Time
Chris Kavan - wrote on 11/07/13 at 06:49 AM CT
Last week Ender's Game managed to top Bad Grandpa for the top of slot - even though it was ultimately a weaker-than-expected opening. Following a monster international debut, Marvel looks to make just as big of a splash domestically when Thor brings the hammer down in a darker sequel. In the coming weeks, there are going to be a lot of waves being made - so Thor may only have a couple of weeks …
