Looking at the Weekend #15: July 9-11, 2010
We have a jam-packed weekend of new releases. Six in total are competing for your dollars, three in wide release and three in limited. The three new wide releases appeal to wildly different audiences: Despicable Me will appeal to the family audience, Predators will appeal to the fanboy crowd and Grease Sing-A-Long will appeal to…

Looking at the Weekend #14: July 2-4, 2010
Three new films release this weekend, two go wide, one releases in limited engagements. The weekend dominator will be the third film in the Twilight Saga as it’s been called (so people don’t mistake the title for some other film). Its only competition is M. Night Shyamalan’s latest, an adaptation of the popular anime series…

(Updated 6/23/10, 2:39p: Added Wes’ contribution) This week we have two new wide releases, a limited release and a New York/Los Angeles-only release. Grown Ups and Knight and Day duke it out for the weekend crown, but will likely come in under the second week of Toy Story 3. Stranger things have happened, though. The…

Previews: Week Ending June 20, 2010
Three films have had release date changes and we’ve got new trailers for 9 films, including one from 2011. Poster Highlights: What a dreadful batch of posters this week.

Looking at the Weekend #12: June 18-20, 2010
One major new wide release this week, one minor one. Toy Story 3 is undoubtedly going to dominate the weekend and Jonah Hex is going to struggle to make much in its wake. I Am Love and Cyrus are this week’s limited releases. Consensus We agree 100% on the following: Toy Story 3: It’s both…

Looking at the Weekend #10: June 4-6, 2010
We have four new wide releases to look at this week and they are accompanied by a limited release. Here’s what we are thinking: Consensus We agree 100% on the following: Killers: Not an Oscar contender. Get Him to the Greek: Not an Oscar contender. Marmaduke: We won’t be watching it and it’s not an…
