Category: Looking at the Weekend

With two new wide releases this weekend, it’s a surprisingly bountiful weekend. That said, it’s one of the few so far this year with fewer still in sight. That said, Judas and the Black Messiah is likely to do much better than Land considering it lends itself more to box office sensation than does the…

Another week lacking in new wide releases means the same old films at the top of the list. Nothing to see here. Our Highest Rated Films: Falling, Two of Us Our Best Awards Ratings: Two of Us (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Angelique’s Isle (Limited) Balloon Man (Virtual) Dara Of Jasenovac (Limited) A Glitch in the…

With the star power of Denzel Washington alone, this should do quite well at a depressed box office. Rami Malek and Jared Leto aren’t likely to bring in many, if any, viewers, so it will be all Washington that sells this film and with neither The Marksman nor Wonder Woman 1984 putting up huge weekend…

There are no new wide releases again this week and with The Marksman stealing Wonder Woman 1984‘s crown, the race will either heat up or Marksman will take the top spot again. Our Highest Rated Films: Identifying Features, Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time Our Best Awards Ratings: No consensus OTHER…

With a single new wide release, it’s possible The Marksman claims to the top spot. Can it outperform Wonder Woman 1984? Possibly, but it could be a fight. Our Highest Rated Films: My Little Sister Our Best Awards Ratings: My Little Sister (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Acasa — My Home (Virtual) American Skin (Limited) The…

There’s nothing new releasing wide again this week, which will make it a three-peat for Wonder Woman 1984. Our Highest Rated Films: Herself Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Average Joe (Limited) The Reason I Jump (Limited) Zombie Bro (Limited)

There are no new wide releases this weekend, so there should be no competition for the top of the box office. Wonder Woman 1984 will continue to hold the spot. Our Highest Rated Films: Shadow in the Cloud Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES An Imperfect Murder

Every other major release has either been moved entirely onto a streaming service or into 2021. Wonder Woman 1984 is the only film attempting a day-and-date release with HBO Max streaming it the same day as it releases to theaters. The box office will obviously be depressed, but there’s no reason to think it won’t…

Two films hope to take The Croods‘ crown in the final weekend before Christmas. Monster Hunter had been poised for a New Year’s release, but got pulled back to this weekend for what reason, who knows. Opposite Fatale, which was booted further down the release calendar once before, the likelihood of either doing incredibly well…

Another weekend with no new wide releases and it doesn’t look like things will be letting up anytime soon. Our Highest Rated Films: Farewell Amor Our Best Awards Ratings: No consensus OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Assassins (Limited) Finding Yingying (Virtual) Gunda (Virtual) The Never List (Limited) On-Gaku: Our Sound (Limited) Queer Japan (Virtual) The Weasel’s Tale…

With December fairly barren for new releases, it’s rather surprising that two are slated for this weekend. All My Life is a romantic weepie and Half Brothers is about a pair of half brothers trying to trace their father’s immigration origins. Neither film looks to draw a wide audience to the theater, but Half Brothers…

Once again, we only have one new wide release for the weekend and with this being a holiday weekend, usually one of the biggest of the year, it will be interesting to see just how many people actually make it to theaters. Our Highest Rated Films: The Croods: A New Age Our Best Awards Ratings:…

There are no new wide releases this week with fewer and fewer on the horizon. Many of the potential releases have vacated as U.S. pandemic infections are on a dramatic rise as we enter Phase 2. The light may be seen at the end of the tunnel, but the upcoming holiday box office season is…

If there were any film that could possibly break the pandemic box office curse, it’s this film, a horror comedy. It probably won’t do very well, but it could outperform expectations. Our Highest Rated Films: Ammonite Our Best Awards Ratings: Ammonite (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Colors of Character (Limited) Come Away (Limited) Echo Boomers (Limited)…

Without much new at the box office, a film like this could do well, but as we’ve seen in recent months, audiences just aren’t flocking back to cineplexes. That means this Diane Lane and Kevin Costner film, which would appeal more to older audiences, who are most at risk in the pandemic, isn’t likely to…
