We have one new wide release, One Piece Film: Red, and one expanding feature, Armageddon Time. Neither is likely to outperform the third weekend of Black Adam, so we’ll see. Our Highest Rated Films: Armageddon Time Our Best Awards Ratings: Armageddon Time (Oscars), Cuaseways (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES 1-800-Hot-Nite (Limited) Black Notebooks: Ronit (Limited) The…

This week’s wide releases are more horror fodder for audiences, but won’t provide an incredibly strong weekend as a result. Prey for the Devil may struggle to overcome the second week of Black Adam, but as the only new wide release, it will have those who’ve seen those prior films as an available choice. Our…

From the soft debut of Halloween Ends to the likely stellar debut of Black Adam what a difference a week can make. Black Adam faces only minor competition from Julia Roberts and George Clooney whose romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise faces unknown circumstances. Our Highest Rated Films: The Banshees of Inisherin, Wendell & Wild Our…

With Smile trying for a third week at the top of the box office chart, its chances are slim with the literally ultimate Halloween film, Halloween Ends, releasing. Jamie Lee Curtis’ final outing as Laurie Strode should do well at the box office and handily top the chart. Our Highest Rated Films: Till Our Best…

With two new wide releases, both coming on the heels of the success of Smile, the weekend’s top spot is up for grabs. Likely to come in first is kids book adaptation Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile with original music by The Greatest Showman composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and sung by Shawn Mendes. The film…

Two new wide releases will compete for the top of the box office against the second weekend of Don’t Worry, Darling and The Woman King. The Woman King didn’t have the best second-weekend hold, so it’s not likely to compete, but new releases Bros and Smile do have that opportunity. We don’t know how a…

There’s one new wide release, one expanding feature, and one re-release headed to the box office this weekend and while the re-release of Avatar is likely to top the charts, Don’t Worry, Darling being the only new wide release is likely to come in above Moonage Daydream, a documentary about David Bowie. Our Highest Rated…

A whole herd of new releases stamped this weekend’s box office. Currently, there are four new wide releases and one expansion headed for cineplexes. While it’s possible a couple of those might end up with more limited releases, of the ones we know for certain will stay wide (Clerks III, which is expanding; See How…

The prospects for this weekend’s box office are not particularly great. Three new wide releases hope to break through the morass of old releases in hopes of finding an audience. Horror, Bollywood, and period dramas are on top and none of them look terribly promising. Barbarian likely has the best chance, an average horror film…

There’s only one new wide release this weekend and after the anemia of the prior frame, Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. has a clear path towards victory. That is if it can overcome the re-release of Jaws and Spider-Man: No Way Home. It’s Labor Day weekend, so the likelihood of any film doing really…

With two new wide releases, neither with the best prospects at huge openings, Three Thousand Years of Longing seems the better bet to win out over The Invitation and that could also mean the top spot at the weekend box office. Our Highest Rated Films: Three Thousand Years of Longing Our Best Awards Ratings: Three…

There aren’t a lot of options this weekend for huge openings, so between Beast and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Beast seems the more likely to top the other, but neither are compelling box office contenders. Our Highest Rated Films: Beast Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Bullet Proof (Limited) Dinner Party (Limited)…

This weekend will have a few questions associated with it. 1) Can Bullet Train avoid a huge second weekend plunge and will that be enough to overcome a weak set of new releases? 2) Will Diane Keaton still be able to open a geriatric comedy at the top of the box office in spite of…

With the soft debut of DC League of Super Pets, the opportunity for Bullet Train to top the charts this weekend is high. It doesn’t need much. It’s nearest competition is Easter Sunday, which isn’t likely to do boffo business at the box office. Our Highest Rated Films: Bullet Train Our Best Awards Ratings: None…

In spite of its clear inferiority, the DCEU films continue to do quite well at the box office. Whether this film is going to tie into the live-action films is currently unknown, but it’s sure to play at least decently well among audiences with young children and DC completists. Our Highest Rated Films: Hypochondriac Our…
