We had another five-day weekend this past week, what with New Year’s Eve falling on a Wednesday, but the ranking remains the same whether we look at the five-day or the three-day weekend, so for sanity’s sake, I’m gonna stick with the three-day figures… that is, Friday, January 2, through Sunday, January 4: 1. Marley … more…
Yeah, I used that headline when the teen vampire movie opened in North America, too. Look, the holiday in the middle of the week has really thrown my schedule off, and I just want to get a quick look at last weekend’s U.K. box office numbers before this new weekend is over: 1. Twilight: £2.5 … more…
It looks kinda like a big number for the Keanu Reeves sci-fi flick, but it kinda ain’t: 1. The Day the Earth Stood Still: $30.4 million (NEW) 2. Four Christmases: $13 million (3rd week; drops 22%) 3. Twilight: $7.9 million (4th week; drops 39%) 4. Bolt: $7.5 million (4th week; drop 24%) 5. Australia: $4.2 … more…
It’s another holiday tradition: the weekend after Thanksgiving is typically one the movies take a breather over, and that tradition held true. Neither of the new wide releases made much of a showing, and in fact, except for Australia and Quantum of Solace swapping spots, the lineup looks the same as last weekend: 1. Four … more…
Late this week. This is what I get for deciding I’d rather be right than first with the box office numbers — which means waiting till Monday afternoon when the actual numbers come in rather than jumping in as soon as the weekend estimates appear on Sunday. Which means if I’m totally otherwise occupied with … more…
The holiday weekend started early this year. These are the kinds of numbers we usually see over a long weekend, when kids are off from school and adults are off from work and everyone’s in a mood to see a movie, not a regular ol’ weekend, and particularly one over which, you might think, people … more…
In a few hours, the box office estimates for the weekend will be released. They’re gonna be terrifying, because Twilight made $35.7 million on Friday. On Friday alone. That’s an actual number, or close to it, not an estimate. Okay, this includes the $7 million it pulled in at midnight Thursday showings, but since those … more…
It’s like an actual grownup movie, all serious and important. Like you can tell how beautiful the vampires are supposed to be because everything gets slow and sparkly when they walk by — and I mean even when they’re not in sunlight LOL!
I’m sort of dreading my screening of Twilight (opens in the U.S. on November 21, and in the U.K. on December 19) tonight. I don’t mean the film itself — though that’s an issue too — but the scene. It’s going to be a madhouse. I’ve never seen this before, in almost ten years of … more…
Speaking of Twilight… The movie hasn’t even opened yet, but already the handwringing and the mystified head-scratching has begun: Who are all these people who are clamoring to see the teen-vampire-romance Twilight, and what label shall we slap on them? One of the contributors to the Guardian’s Film Blog might have kicked off the debate … more…
