Weekend Box Office

Rogen should look into hosting the Mid-Daily Show on Comedy Central, or something — you know, something that can still be spun as a hit even if only 13 people tune in.

We are nearly four month into the year and there have only been two  breakout hits: Captain Marvel and the horror film Us. Thus far, 2019’s box office has been a five-alarm disaster.

There is also no question that a whole host of titles, product that looked sure-fire on paper, have already under-performed.

Director Damien Chazelle’s “First Man” has officially flopped, and not just here at home, but all over the world.

Despite reams of favorable press coverage, director Spike Lee’s ‘BlacKkKlansman’ debuted in fifth place well behind the whacky prehistoric shark action flick ‘The Meg.’

With no serious competition opening at the box office, Solo has officially collapsed with a catastrophic -68 percent drop in its second weekend. After grossing a measly (we are talking about a Star Wars movie here) $82 million in its debut weekend, Solo bottomed out in week two with just $28 million.

Disney murdered the Muppets with left-wing politics, and now the studio is allowing Kathleen Kennedy to kill Star Wars — a franchise that was once so bullet-proof and buried in audience goodwill, it survived the Lucas prequels.

Solo is not collapsing at this weekend’s domestic and international box office over some exotic disease known as Star Wars Fatigue. Solo is crash-landing because the franchise has been infected with divisive left-wing politics that have hurt the storytelling.

Solo, the latest entry in Disney’s new woke-ified Star Wars franchise, is projected to open at just $130 million this weekend, and this is a three-day weekend with Memorial Day. The high-end projection is $150 million.

With the flopping of ‘I Feel Pretty,’ Amy Schumer’s movie career is now in serious trouble with three flops in a row. Here are six reasons why her movie tanked.

Disney removing Christianity from the box office bomb A Wrinkle in Time not only hurt the story, it is an act of hostile bigotry, which is the opposite of inclusiveness.

Powered in equal parts by stars Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon along with Walt Disney’s mighty publicity machine, director Ana Duvernay’s Wrinkle In Time debuted to an anemic $33 million over the weekend.

Jennifer Lawrence’s big-budget Red Sparrow is under-performing big time at the box office. Already- modest predictions called for a $20 million opening. As of now, it looks like $17 million, which is a disaster.

No fewer than four multimillion dollar wide releases dropped into your local multiplex this weekend. Not counting promotional expenses, we have the $38 million Only the Brave, the $35 million The Snowman, and the $120 million(!) Geostorm. Walloping all of them at the box office, is Tyler Perry’s $25 million Boo 2: A Madea Halloween.

Although the entertainment media will never admit it, will do everything in its sycophantic power to write all around it (see: Line, Dead), the chickens have finally come home to roost for Jennifer Lawrence’s hateful mouth.

Whatever you might think of the genre, the R-rated, gross-out teen comedy appears to be played out. “Dirty Grandpa,” a dirty R-rated comedy boasting the dual star-power of Robert DeNiro and Zac Efron, took a dive at the box office

There is a not-so unexpected disturbance in the box office force, and it has nothing to do with the public’s desire to go to the movies. Not only has “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” broken dozens of box office records this winter, the net-effect has not buried other titles under a tidal wave. The “Star Wars” tide is lifting all boats, except for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight” and Jennifer Lawrence’s “Joy.” Both are under-performing in a big way.

One of Hollywood’s brightest (and only) stars, Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, might be dimming. In the wake of her bigoted attacks on traditional Christians, there has been a noticeable shift in her box office fortunes, starting with the unexpected under-performance of

For the second weekend in a row, every new release at the American box office bombed, and did so spectacularly. This weekend, Sandra Bullock’s latest wide release, the $28 million “Our Brand Is Crisis,” sunk like a rock with just

Sony’s small budget faith-based drama War Room, a film about the power of prayer, pushed three-week champion Straight Outta Compton out of the top spot, winning the final weekend of the summer box office season.

Straight Outta Compton was the big winner at the box office for the third straight week, but not far behind, the indie Christian picture War Room took the weekend’s second spot.

Overall, Hollywood is having an okay year. Year-to-date the 2015 box office is +8.3% ahead of the disaster that was 2014. That, however, is still less than +1% over 2013 and actually pacing -0.2% behind 2012. Movies are no longer

False charges of sexism obviously fell on deaf ears. Weekend estimates range from $177 million to $190 million for the debut of “Jurassic World,” the fourth in the “Jurassic Park” franchise, the first in 14 years. After three lackluster weekends

Time and again and again, during the doldrums of 2014’s awful box office year, we were assured and reassured that 2015’s awesome slate would make up for everything. Halfway into the year, that is proving to not be the case.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson out-muscled the competition at domestic movie theaters as the earthquake epic “San Andreas” hauled in an estimated $53.2 million over the weekend. It was Johnson’s biggest debut for a non-sequel as the top-billed actor, according to box office tracker Rentrak.
