Los Angeles (AFP) - "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" scared its way to the top of the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $45.2 million in what one analyst called a "unique and impressive opening." "Only four other comedic series in the last 27 years have lasted five episodes," analyst David A. Gross said, with ticket sales for the latest entry in Sony's comedy series coming in "well above average for the genre." Still, with a $100 million budget, "Frozen Empire" has a way to go to reach profitability. Co-written by Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - "Kung Fu Panda 4" opened at the top of the North American box office this weekend and "Dune: Part Two" became the year's first film to pass the $150 million mark domestically as movie-world glitterati gathered in Hollywood for Sunday's Oscars ceremony. "Panda," a martial-arts comedy from DreamWorks and Universal, took in an estimated $58.3 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, according to industry watcher Exhibitor Relations, as Hollywood saw some improving results following a wan start to the year. The film's numbers were good enough -- for part four of an animate...

After only a week in theaters, Dune: Part Twohas already grossed more in domestic release than the first Dune did. The new sequel — technically the second half of the first film by director Denis Villeneuve based on the Frank Herbert sci-fi novel Dune — has already grossed $111 million in the United States in one week. The first film, which debuted in the fall of 2021, earned just $108.8 million in the U.S. in the entirety of its six-month theatrical run. There is an important asterisk here, of course. Dune opened in 2021 during the midst of the Covid pandemic, and was part of a plan that saw ...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Bringing spice to a so-far lean movie year, Warner Bros.' new sci-fi film "Dune: Part Two" shot to the top of the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $81.5 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. "This is an outstanding opening" for a sci-fi sequel, said analyst David A.

Los Angeles (AFP) - Paramount biopic "Bob Marley: One Love" led the North American box office for a second straight weekend, taking in an estimated $13.5 million, as "Love" prevailed over films about demons and angels. The global take for the film, which stars Kingsley Ben-Adir as the iconic reggae singer, has now surpassed $120 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday, showing exceptional strength for a music biopic. Sony and Crunchyroll's latest in the "Demon Slayer" manga series, "Kimetsu no Yaiba -- To the Hashira Training," placed second for the weekend, earning an es...

Madame Webhad an opening weekend that made the bad box office totals of recent Marvel releases look great in comparison. The Marvels, for example, was the worst film in all of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from a box office perspective; it only grossed $46 million in its opening weekend on the way to making about $200 million worldwide during its entire run in theaters. And that was the worst opening the MCU had ever had. Madame Web would kill for those kinds of numbers. In its opening weekend the Spider-Man spinoff grossed only $26.2 million in the U.S. and $51.9 million worldwide. That makes...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Paramount's new musical biopic "Bob Marley: One Love" enjoyed the adoration of North American theatergoers this weekend, topping the box office with estimated earnings of $27.7 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. "This is an excellent opening for a musical biography," analyst David A. Gross said, adding that the film was doing much better with audiences than with critics. British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir, who plays the iconic reggae singer in the story of his rapid rise and too-soon death, previously drew attention for his portrayal of Malcolm X in...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Universal's wacky spy thriller "Argylle" held on to the top spot in North American theaters on a molasses-slow movie weekend overshadowed by pro football's Super Bowl championship game. "Argylle" took in just an estimated $6.5 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported -- and that despite a cast including Dua Lipa, Henry Cavill, John Cena and Ariana DeBose, with Bryce Dallas Howard as a spy novelist who gets in over her head. Given the Apple co-production's budget of $200 million -- and its sharp drop from an $18 million open...

In 2024, a movie is often labeled a success or failure before it’s even “opened” in theaters. In the parlance of the film industry, we still say that movies are “opening Friday.” But most of the top tentpoles begin screening on Thursdays — sometimes as early as 3PM in the afternoon. The box-office receipts from those early exhibitions are breathlessly reported on within hours — at which point some pundits have already declared a film a hit or a flop. Years of work, and the outcome is determined in hours. But that is only one side of the story. As I have said many times before here at ScreenCru...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Universal's new comedy adventure "Argylle" took the number one spot at the North American box office this weekend, earning an estimated $18 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said Sunday. The film, co-produced by Apple and directed by Matthew Vaughn, recounts the wacky misadventures of a successful spy novelist, played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Despite its star-studded cast, the movie -- which also features Dua Lipa, Henry Cavill, John Cena and Ariana DeBose -- has received lackluster reviews since its release Friday. Analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainme...
