With Dune making an unimpressive debut, the next weekend of releases should have a lot of opportunities to top the chart. That said, only Last Night in Soho really seems like the kind of film that can do it. Our Highest Rated Films: Last Night in Soho Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES…

This weekend, we have a battle of two types of audiences. The first film is likely to draw a lot of fans of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi classic. The other film is likely to appeal to families who haven’t had as much to see at theaters recently. Ultimately, the expansive epic is more likely to…

Two films release wide this week in an effort to take down #1 No Time to Die. The Last Duel might have actors people recognize, but it looks like a very dreary historical drama and those aren’t that popular. Halloween Kills, on the other hand, has much more potential. The film is part of a…

Delayed a year, the last Daniel Craig James Bond film is sure to make quite the splash. Early reviews are solid, so it should appeal to audiences and with each subsequent new release showing new teeth at the Pandemic Era box office, I see No Time to Die topping the chart with the second weekend…

Shang-Chi‘s reign at the top of the box office is likely to come to an end this weekend with four new wide releases and two of them have a shot at the top spot. The Many Saints of Newark and The Jesus Music are not going to be topping the chart. Meanwhile, The Addams Family…

With three new wide releases and nothing that looks particularly stellar, it will be a tough weekend for all newcomers. Dear Evan Hanson might have a shot over the widening The Eyes of Tammy Faye and the re-release of Courageous, but there’s no question the weekend will be poorly attended and might see Shang-Chi triumphing…

Presently, there are three films scheduled for wide release this weekend, going up against the third week of Shang-Chi. It’s possible that two of the three could come out on top. First, we must discard CopShop, which just doesn’t have the kind of draw a film would need to be a box office success. Cry…

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…
