New in Theaters June 14: Men in Black: International, Late Night, Shaft
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/13/19 at 06:47 AM CT
It has been a couple of weeks of disappointing openings - all sequels which, to be honest, may not bode well for the big new film of the weekend. Both Godzilla: King of the Monsters and X-Men: Dark Phoenix failed to spark much interest at the box office. Now we're going to find out if Men in Black has any better luck. As a counter-punch, Late Night offers up some laughs while Shaft offers up …
The Lion King, Spider-Man: Far from Home and More in This Week's MPAA Ratings Bulletin
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/12/19 at 10:03 AM CT
Sometimes it's better to take quality over quantity and thought the MPAA Ratings Board has only graced us with two new wide-release ratings, they are two big ones. First we have a huge Disney live-action remake that, if Aladdin is any indication, should blow away the competition and be another huge film for the studio. If that wasn't enough, Disney also has the other wide-release, the next …

Weekend Box Office: Secret Life of Pets 2 Wins the Day as Dark Phoenix Flames Out
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/09/19 at 08:06 PM CT
It was good news, bad news over the weekend as the box office was up a nice 43% compared to last year but the two new films, Secret Life of Pets 2 and Dark Phoenix came in under expectations. They join Godzilla: King of the Monsters in disappointing openings, though Pets 2 is sitting much better than Phoenix. Both Godzilla and Rocketman passed major milestones as did Aladdin on a global scale. …
New in Theaters June 07: Dark Phoenix, The Secret Life of Pets 2
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/06/19 at 06:40 AM CT
Another week, another blockbuster - well, maybe two this time. Godzilla: King of the Monsters ruled over last weekend, but his roar was a bit weaker than expected, thus I have a feeling his reign over the box office is going to be short-lived. Two big films are going to sucker punch the big guy: the final film in the current generation of X-Men films and a sequel to a well-received animated …
Annabelle Comes Home, Stuber, Ready or Not and More in This Week's MPAA Ratings Bulletin
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/05/19 at 08:40 AM CT
Thankfully we aren't going to have a repeat of the dreadful nothing we all had to endure during the Memorial Day update. There are three big movies getting their ratings due - a nice, round number. We have a new horror addition to the Conjuring franchise, a different kind of horror film that will prove doubly so for newlyweds and an action/comedy that combines Dave Bautista and Kumail Nanjiani - …

Weekend Box Office: Godzilla Is King, Rocketman Soars, Ma Impresses
Chris Kavan - wrote on 06/02/19 at 08:06 PM CT
It was mixed to good news for all the new releases over the weekend. While Godzilla: King of the Monsters took the box office crown, it's opening was lower than anticipated and it will have to get a helping hand on the international front to save face. On the other hand, both Rocketman and Ma opened better than expected, both finding a place in the top five. Overall, the weekend helped push the …
New in Theaters May 31: Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Rocketman, Ma
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/30/19 at 06:41 AM CT
With summer coming in full speed ahead and with Avengers: Endgame running down, it's time to look out for the next big blockbuster. Sure, Aladdin has been pretty magical and John Wick has been strong, but we want bigger! And who is bigger than Godzilla? That's right - everyone's favorite atomic-era nightmare returns, along with a few friends, to spice up the weekend. Elton John gets his own …
A Moment of Silence for the Memorial Day MPAA Ratings Bulletin
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/29/19 at 05:26 PM CT
Silence is golden - this week's update is not. Once again, I have nothing worthy to talk about - no wide releases, not even any limited releases. We have a handful of documentaries and some even more under-the-radar films that will likely never the light of day outside of art house theaters or the bottom of your streaming queue. In any case, that leaves me with little more than another list to …
