Can Ambulance do what Morbius could not? It’s possible, though Sonic the Hedgehog 2 could prove to be a capable competitor as well.

Sony’s Marvel properties get another infusion of antiheroes, but so far there’s no sign that anyone’s that excited about this one. Still, facing off against the fading likes of The Batman and the second week of The Lost City, it will likely still top the box office. Our Highest Rated Films: The Rose Maker Our…

With The Batman having dominated the last 3 weekends, it’s time for a new champion and unlike this past weekend, there is only one major release and it is very likely to topple the dark knight. The Lost City features Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, and Daniel Radcliffe. With plenty of advertising to support the film,…

The Batman had such a strong holdover in its second week, it’s unlikely that this week’s new releases will be able to overcome that. Umma will try incredibly hard, though.

Nothing new this week on the wide market, so The Batman will have an easy time holding on for another week.

Can the DC Extended Universe reboot an already familiar hero? Who knows for sure, but their pandemic-era track record isn’t very good.

There are two wide release and neither are likely to be huge hits, but I would guess that Cyrano was likely to do the better of the two.

Three new wide releases come out this week and while two of them could be hits, I expect the only one that will make much money is Uncharted. Our Highest Rated Films: The Last Bus Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES A Fairy Tale After All (Limited) Finding Carlos (Limited) The Ledge (Limited)…

Three new wide releases, but are really any of them going to be draws? Not likely, though I expect Blacklight has a better shot as any at topping the chart. Our Highest Rated Films: Death on the Nile Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Conundrum: Secrets Among Friends (Limited) Cosmic Dawn (Limited) Give…

The first set of new wide releases in what seems like forever, but there isn’t much to see here as they aren’t titles that are likely to ignite interest in the box office, though Jackass Forever is sure to pull plenty of people who don’t care about the pandemic to theater, so it might come…

Without a new wide release, it will be between Spider-Man: No Way Home and Scream. Who knows for sure who will end up on top. Our Highest Rated Films: Compartment No. 6 Our Best Awards Ratings: Compartment No. 6 (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Charli XCX: Alone Together (Limited) Gamestop: Rise of the Players (Limited) In…

This weekend, two new movies challenge reigning champs Spider-Man: No Way Home and Scream. Neither titles seem like save bets to best either older release, but Kings_Daughter will probably do the better of the two. Our Highest Rated Films: Aline Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Confession (Limited) The Laureate (Limited) Salt in…

The first film in weeks that has looked like it could dethrone the reigning champ Spider-Man: No Way Home and it’s another in a series of films that was once incredibly popular, but had faded in the intervening years. Some initial reactions were positive, which could bolster the film’s chances. Our Highest Rated Films: Scream…

There’s only one somewhat minor wide release opening and I doubt it has the strength to topple Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is pushing for a Titanic-like run at the top of the charts.

The final weekend of the year, the New Year’s holiday weekend, has one new major release and that’s Jockey, heading out into a scant number of theaters. This is to that the Christmas releases can continue bringing in audiences and because New Year’s tends to be one of the year’s slowest weekends (like Labor Day,…
