The number one film for at least two weeks will be Captain Marvel, the latest origin film from the Disney/Marvel universe. There’s little chance that it doesn’t do well, probably topping $100 million on opening weekend. The big question is whether or not the film can top Black Panther, the $700 million (U.S.) juggernaut of…

There aren’t a lot of options this weekend, so Tyler Perry’s latest Madea film should have little trouble topping the charts or coming in second to the second weekend of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World more than likely. Our Highest Rated Films: Transit, The Wedding Guest Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER…

There’s only one new wide release and after a series of disappointing openings, the final How to Train Your Dragon film should rescue the box office this weekend. Our Highest Rated Films: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World Our Best Awards Ratings: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World OTHER LIMITED RELEASES…

With The Lego Movie 2 underperforming, it makes next weekend ripe for a new number one film. Alita: Battle Angel may have the best chance simply because it has more advertising. That said, Isn’t It Romantic could be a surprise hit giving it the top spot. Happy Death Day 2U is a sequel to a…

After several weeks of meager offerings, we get no less than four wide releases, with one of them clearly the frontrunner for topping the box office chart. The Lego Movie 2 is the follow-up to the incredibly popular The Lego Movie, which opened five years ago to the tune of $69 million. It went on…

There’s only one choice this week for box office topper and Miss Bala might be it. Glass is already growing long in the tooth, so it’s next weekend should be small enough that Miss Bala, which doesn’t have a lot of strong box office prospects could come out on top. Our Highest Rated Films: Arctic,…

There aren’t a lot of good options this weekend, which suggests Glass may pick up a second week atop the chart. The Kid Who Would Be King is the only new release this week that could have a superb weekend or a tepid one and still come in second. Our Highest Rated Films: Never Look…

The weekend sees one new wide release and it will handily top the box office. Glass is the third film in an unexpected trilogy from M. Night Shyamalan who, from all accounts, has gotten his groove back. Of course, digging back into his second-most popular feature was probably good idea for him. Our Highest Rated…

Of the new releases, two films are clearly in line for the chart topper position. A Dog’s Way Home is the latest canine-centric drama that could take the box office by storm. Unfortunately, it comes up against Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart in the American remake of The Intouchables, which has all the makings of…

There aren’t a lot of box office options in the first weekend of 2019. While there’s one new release, everything else will be leftovers from 2018. While Aquaman would Our Highest Rated Film: Escape Room Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Great Great Great

There aren’t a lot of options this weekend outside of holdovers. There are two new wide releases and only one of them has genuine potential to top the box office. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star as the frequently filmed Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. The pair have done well at the box…

Five major films release this weekend with three of them having the potential of landing in the top spot with one of those three having a tougher time thanks to its Wednesday opening. Mary Poppins Returns is that film, which should pick up quite a lot of money in the two days prior to the…

Three potential box office toppers release this weekend and, once again, Marvel appears to be likely to win it all. Mortal Engines is the latest attempt to building a major young adult dystopian cinematic franchise. Few have succeeded and while this one seems bolder and more effects-heavy than prior versions, it still looks to be…

Since there are no new wide releases this weekend, it’s hard to know exactly which of the four new limited releases will perform best. All of them have potential, though the two bigger Oscar contenders are most likely to shine. Mary Queen of Scots is bigger and bolder than Ben Is Back, but the latter…

The post-Thanksgiving weekend is always a quiet one where the turkey day champs make another weekend of lots of money. The only newcomer will be The Possession of Hannah Grace, a film that is way outside of its customary programming window, so it probably won’t top any of the major holdovers. Our Highest Rated Films:…
