Box Office Results (4/17-4/19)

The REEL Box Office Buzz just returned from vacation only to find an interesting set of numbers for this past week.  If you remember correctly, I posed the question – “Who Will Come Out on Top – Hannah or Fast?” at the beginning of last week.  I honestly thought with the Miley Cyrus hype, the [...]


Hannah Montana Vs Fast – Who Will Come Out On Top This Easter Weekend?

Last week, Fast and Furious blew away the box office taking in a whopping $71M.  With a production budget of just under $85M, the film is on track to make exceed all expectations.  Close behind grossing $33M in box office sales was Parmount’s Monsters Vs Aliens.  Not bad for either film, huh?  And then comes [...]


Box Office Results (3/20-3/22)

The thriller, Knowing, dominated the Box Office this weekend causing Disney’s Race to Witch Mountain to tumble down from its nice little perch at #1 for the last couple of weeks to the #4 spot.  In the meantime, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen’s latest flick, Duplicity, couldn’t beat out the Paul Rudd comedy, I Love You, Man.   Gothic [...]

Madea takes the Top of the charts for the second week in a row while Slumdog Millionaire received an added boost thanks to its having racked up a stellar Oscar evening last Sunday.  What I don’t get is how on earth the Jonas Brothers jumped over Slumdog?  What?!  It’s a sad day in Hollywood when [...]

Shocker!  The heavily promoted chick-flick, He’s Just Not That Into You, took over the #1spot at the Box Office this weekend coming in at a cool $27mil.  With an all-star cast that includes the likes of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Connelly, and Drew Barrymore, and a story about love and relationships, it’s [...]

Liam Neeson’s thriller, Taken, takes the Box Office debuting at #1.  Maybe the promos comparing the film to the Bourne series helped catapult it to the tops?  Critics have mixed feelings about the flick, some suggesting that Neeson can’t pull in the numbers like a svelt Matt Damon can.  However, it’s not so much about the star of the film as [...]

Gran Torino was a HIT!  The flick directed by and starring the incomparable Clint Eastwood took the tops at the Box Office for the first time in it’s five-week run.  Last week it was at #14.  The nominations for Golden Globes enhanced the interest of filmgoers everywhere.
In the #2 spot, the first chick-flick released in 2009 - Bride [...]

So…Marley and Me is in the top position for the second week in a row, huh?  What is the attraction to that movie?  I keep reading (or hearing) that it’s not “all that” so…. If you’ve seen it, I’d love to know your take on it.  I’m thinking I’ll wait until the video but maybe [...]

Ok, so Four Christmases remains at #1 for the second week in a row.  In my last post, I had mentioned I was going to go see it.  I still haven’t and quite frankly, after hearing from several people that it was a waste of money, I didn’t want to either.  However, it [...]

FINALLY, we see the numbers at the box office jump the way they should (under normal circumstances that is).  Eagle Eye took the top spot this past weekend.  No surprise.  It’s an edge of your seat techno-thriller that brought movie-goers out in droves despite the not so positive [...]
