Looking at the Weekend: Nov. 24-26, 2023
The Hunger Games did well enough last week to take the top spot, but it wasn’t a big enough take to fend off a new Disney animated movie. Wish is likely to do well over Thanksgiving weekend with its competition vying for adult filmgoers who don’t often turn out in the same numbers as family…

Looking at the Weekend: Nov. 17-19, 2023
After the disappointing opening of The Marvels, it seems clear that this week’s number one film is likely to be one of either The Hunger Games sequel or the Trolls sequel. The other two films aren’t likely to have much of an impact. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers…

With a dearth of competition, even a meager Disney debut for The Marvel should still top the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other films that are releasing this weekend that we haven’t considered. Journey to Bethlehem…

There aren’t any major works in new releases, but limited release Priscilla is going wide, so expect her to take the box office crown. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other films that are releasing this weekend that we…

Five films, at the time of this writing, were going to try to release wide. I suspect only one will and that’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, a video adaptation that hopes to lure in fans of the game who may have already grown out of it. I suspect it will struggle to open well and…

There’s little to no chance that Martin Scorsese’s The Killers of the Flower Moon or Dicks: The Musical is going to outperform the second weekend of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other films…

Looking at the Weekend: Oct. 13-15, 2023
There are no new traditional wide releases this week, but Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is getting a concert film release in AMC theaters. That alone has said to have sold millions of tickets so far, so it will dominate this weekend. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on…

Looking at the Weekend: Oct. 6-8, 2023
There is but only one new wide release this week, the latest attempt to revive the Exorcist franchise. The Exorcist: Believer will certainly be the top new wide release, but it also has a strong chance at being the top box office performer overall. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had…

The Saw franchise petered out a long time ago and they keep trying to revive it. Against two other contenders, it will be interesting to see if the studio’s gamble paid off. Paw Patrol: The Might Movie has the most potential to come out on top because it has a built-in audience, but it could…

The fourth Expendables film will determine whether or not this franchise will continue to have legs. It doesn’t have the hype of something like the Fast & Furious films, but it should do well enough to top the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten…

Looking at the Weekend: Sep. 15-17, 2023
A solid debut for The Nun II is sure to be short-lived as horror films are often front-loaded. That leaves plenty of room for A Haunting in Venice to take the top spot at the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube…

Looking at the Weekend: Sep. 8-10, 2023
The first post-Labor Day weekend will see if My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 can be a success like the original or a flop like the second film. It’s up against The Nun II, which will ensure it doesn’t become the biggest film of the weekend. Heck, it probably won’t even beat the second weekend…

September kicks off with a single wide release with Denzel Washington’s star power destined for the top spot at the box office. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels.

With the tepid debut of Blue Beetle fresh on everyone’s mind, barely eking out a victory over Barbie in her fifth week, there’s plenty of room for either of two of this week’s wide releases to come out on top. There are three titles releasing wide, Gran Turismo, The Hill, and Retribution. You can count…

We may finally be getting the Barbie killer. After several lackluster box office debuts and Barbie‘s steady decline, Blue Beetle may have what it takes to top the film, but perhaps not by much. It’s a minor character in the DC universe and interest in DC films has been mediocre at best. Still, it’s the…
