With several duds running, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part 1 will either buck the trend or face a similar defeat. It has strong reviews going in, so the likelihood of a summer hit is high. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube…

While it would be lovely if Joy Ride could top Insidious: The Red Door at the box office, it doesn’t seem a likely process. The former is an unknown player to most audiences and unless word of mouth builds business into Saturday/Sunday, the existing fandom of Insidious will likely mean a higher final tally. OTHER…

After a couple of weeks of duds, it’s finally time for the big boys to come out and play. Steven Spielberg returns to one of the most popular franchises in history. It should easily top the box office, but can it top $100 million? Possibly. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have…

With the dismal performances of The Flash and Elemental last weekend, it’s entirely possible that the fresh new No Hard Feelings could place at the top of the box office with a relatively small debut. It could also be a big hit, so it will be interesting to see how well it performs. OTHER RELEASES…

While DC has actively avoided releasing its films direct to streaming, Disney has not. That created the impression that people who enjoy their animated products can just watch them online, depressing turnout. That’s why before the pandemic, Elemental would have been a huge hit and easily dominated The Flash, but after it will be lucky…

The spectacular debut of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse will mean the second frame will be quite large. That could cause problems for the latest Transformers film. This latest film in the franchise is coming on the heals of a decreasingly popular series and that could hurt its box office numbers just enough to have it…

From Disney to Marvel (Sony), audiences are going to be overcome with options this weekend and the fight for first place will come down to these two films, but Spider-Man being in its first weekend and Mermaid in its second, that should give Spidey the edge. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that…

Most of the competition has cleared the way for the massive drop of Disney’s latest animated-to-live-action adaptation, which should easily top the weekend box office over the second week of Fast X. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released on Rotten Tomatoes’ trailer YouTube Channels. Below are some other…

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 will only be getting two weeks atop the box office as Fast X drives into theaters and does donuts on Guardians‘ hull. Fast X has been one of the most dependable non-Marvel franchise since its debut twenty-two years ago (minus an entry or two). There’s no doubt it will…

With five new wide releases trying to find out who can lose to the second week of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it should be interesting to see which of the demographics most turn out. Considering the mediocre trailers for most of the choices, it’s possible that Book Club: The Next Chapter is the…

The Super Mario Bros. Movie will finally fall from the top spot of the box office with the release of the third Guardians of the Galaxy movie. It should do well enough to come close or exceed a $100 million opening weekend, possibly even doubling that. The only other confirmed wide release, Love Again, isn’t…

A raft of new releases attempts to take down The Super Mario Bros. Movie and I doubt that any of them can. The teen-targeted Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. has perhaps the best potential considering the niche nature of the other releases. Who knows for sure, though, as stranger things have happened. OTHER…

This week has two films that could be hits, but three films that could be misses. We’ll start with the latest in the Evil Dead series, the most likely of the three wide releases to be a box office hit. Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant also has a chance of succeeding, but more likely will fail.…

With a slate of five (or six) new wide releases, competition will be fierce for the number two slot since The Super Marion Bros. Movie is guaranteed the first spot in its sophomore frame. Renfield has the most potential to come out on top of the new releases, but The Pope’s Exorcist will give it…

Two major titles release this week along with a third feature releasing wide. Air and The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be duking it out for the top spot at the box office while Paint just hopes to crack the top ten. OTHER RELEASES We are only looking at films that have had trailers released…
