Category: Looking at the Weekend

Can a big budget summer-like blockbuster really draw audiences back to the theater when they’ve been so far reticent? We shall see, though the Wednesday opening might temper weekend expectations. Our Highest Rated Films: Godzilla vs. Kong, Shiva Baby Our Best Awards Ratings: Godzilla vs. Kong (Oscars) OTHER LIMITED RELEASES 2021 Oscar Shorts (Limited) Amundsen…

With a single new wide release, it looks like Nobody could top the box office as Raya and the Last Dragon begins to wind down. Our Highest Rated Films: Six Minutes to Midnight Our Best Awards Ratings: None. OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Miracle Fishing: The Kidnapping of Tom Hargrove (Limited) Mystery of the Kingdom of God…

Another weekend with no new wide releases means we have nothing much to say other than another week of Disney dominance of the box office. Our Highest Rated Films: The Courier Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Dark State (Limited) Enforcement (Limited) The Fever (Virtual) St. Patrick’s Day (Limited) Wojnarowicz: F**k You F-ggot…

With nothing new in terms of wide releases, Raya and the Last Dragon shouldn’t maintain its top-spot position. Our Highest Rated Films: Honeydew Our Best Awards Ratings: None OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Come True (Limited) Dutch (Limited) The Inheritance (Limited) Lamb of God: The Concert Film (Limited) Never Gonna Snow Again (Limited) Still Life in Lodz…

With three new wide releases, it almost feels like things are back to normal. However, we’re still in the depressed pandemic box office with all but family films struggling to find their footing. This weekend, we have another film that’s going to take on Tom & Jerry for the top spot at the box office…

It seems that animated or kid-friendly movies are doing far better at the pandemic box office than other types of movies as evinced by last week’s #1 finish for The Croods: A New Age in its thirteenth week in release. The film spent two weeks at number one upon release, spent eight weeks bouncing between…

No more new wide releases this weekend and with the anemic box office of the President’s Day holiday weekend, there’s no telling what film will take the spotlight. Our Highest Rated Films: Body Brokers, Days of the Bagnold Summer, Silk Road Our Best Awards Ratings: No consensus OTHER LIMITED RELEASES Angelique’s Isle (Limited) Blithe Spirit…

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…
