Category: Looking at the Weekend

The Card Counter shifted to a limited release, which is probably for the best, which leaves three wide releases to compete against the second weekend of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Malignant probably has the best chance even though horror hasn’t done incredibly well since the pandemic began. Queenpins feels like one…

There won’t be much competition, so Disney will have the top spot all to itself with its latest Marvel Cinematic Universe feature. Our Highest Rated Films: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Our Best Awards Ratings: No consensus OTHER LIMITED RELEASES The Big Scary ‘S’ Word (Limited) Faya Dayi (Limited) Hands Up (Limited)…

After two weeks at the top, Free Guy will likely fade in his third frame allowing the only new wide release this weekend to claim the spot: Candyman. Our Highest Rated Films: Together, Candyman Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Conni and the Cat (Limited) Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders…

This weekend will be rather tough. Deciding which of the four wide releases will top the box office will be daunting since none of them seem like the kinds of films to normally top the box office. The Night House appeals to horror fans who’ve been loath to set foot in movie theaters lately. Paw…

With the dismal opening weekend for The Suicide Squad, it’s difficult to imagine a situation where any of the three new wide releases this week don’t end up on top. Don’t Breathe seems iffy as horror films still haven’t quite bounced back and Respect would have been better served with a platform release. Then there’s…

While Jungle Cruise topped the weekend, its $34 million tally wasn’t great and that means this coming weekend is rife for a new film to be crowned. That film will be The Suicide Squad. As Black Widow proved, superhero films are still clamored for at the box office and we’ll see if Margot Robbie and…

With both Snake Eyes and Old putting up unexceptional numbers, one of this week’s three new wide releases could come out on top. Stillwater doesn’t seem like the kind of film to have a strong opening weekend, but it might have quite a bit of longevity. The Green Knight doesn’t have anyone that broad audiences…

The box office continues to be unpredictable with audiences still not turning out in droves like it should be. Strong debuts are followed by week second frames, which might just give Snake Eyes a chance to top the box office without much competition. Old is another M. Night Shyamalan attempt to revitalize his career, but…

With Black Widow entering its second week, three films hope to take it down, but only one of them is likely to do so. The original Space Jam was a success in its day and this is the only one of the three new wide releases with any chance of toppling Black Widow. Our Highest…

F9‘s domination of the box office ends this week with the release of Black Widow, the first new Marvel Cinematic Universe film to release since the pandemic forced the re-arrangement of Disney’s big screen release schedule. It’s strange that of all the films they released directly on their streaming platform, the MCU wasn’t among them.…

Three films, two feature and one documentary, release wide this weekend, hoping that the F9 success ushers in an improving theatrical landscape. Only two of these films have any chance at landing the top spot while one of them might struggle more than the other in the reviving post-pandemic box office. The Boss Baby: Family…

There’s little question that F9, the week’s only new wide release, will top the box office for the weekend. Its performance will also tell us whether the pandemic box office is back at full steam or if we’re in for a few rough months before its entire revitalization. Our Highest Rated Films: I Carry You…

Another week with a single new release as Hollywood begins to get back into the swing of things. This week, the sequel to the popular Hitman’s Bodyguard releases and it should handily win the weekend. Our Highest Rated Films: The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES The Birthday Cake (Limited)…

The first of this year’s potential Best Picture Oscar contenders releases to cinemas. In the Heights is adapted from the Tony-winning Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda and will be one of two New York-set musicals this year, both of which will compete at the Oscars. This film has one other wide release to compete against,…

There’s only one film that has the potential to tear the horror crown away from A Quiet Place: Part II, and it’s one of the most successful modern horror franchises…unfortunately. Our Highest Rated Films: Chasing Wonders Our Best Awards Ratings: No consensus. OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Samaritan (Wide) All Light, Everywhere (Limited) Bad Tales (Limited) Gully…
