Gru Steals the Box Office Cash Box - Box Office Report for July 8

Gru Steals the Box Office Cash Box - Box Office Report for July 8

In one of his most stunning evil genius feats yet, super-villain Gru has used his ingenuity to make off with the cash box containing the large majority of the box office profits, foiling the justice seeking Lone Ranger who wasn’t left with much of a cash reward. I think old Tonto’s “Spirit Walker” may not be as invincible as Tonto thought after all.

#1 - Despicable Me 2

Budget: $76 Million
Totals: $82.5 Million Opening Weekend Gross / $142 Million Domestic Total / $151.1 Million Foreign Total / $293.1 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1

I think we can safely call this a major…

‘Monsters’ Wins Again - Box Office Report for July 1

‘Monsters’ Wins Again - Box Office Report for July 1

Two weeks in a row Pixar dominates the box office. Clearly, MU is a big winner here. But Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy seem to be setting fire to the White House, and bringing the heat so to speak. In fact, it seems Zombies are attacking the presidential residence as well.

Let’s dive in.

#1 - Monsters University

Budget: N/A
Totals: $46.2 Million Weekend Gross / $129.3 Million Foreign Total / $300.3 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 2

A strong second weekend for Monsters University, particularly with foreign totals. I’d say everyone liked it. And I mean, it’s a solid…

‘Monsters’ Scared Off the Box Office - Box Office Report for June 24

‘Monsters’ Scared Off the Box Office - Box Office Report for June 24

There is a clear winner for this weeks Box Office “scare off” (yeah, I’m not proud of myself for that one but it had to be done). But the other big film release this weekend wasn’t too far behind, but is it enough to propel World War Z to success? We’ll have to wait a couple more weekends to see about that.

#1 - Monsters University

Budget: N/A
Totals: $82 Million Domestic Opening Weekend / $54.5 Foreign Total / $136.5 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1

As expected Monsters University has already brought in quite a haul, and I expect it will still have a pretty good weekend…

Brought to you from Krypton - Box Office Report for June 17, 2013

Brought to you from Krypton - Box Office Report for June 17, 2013

Our hero soared into the box office in his boots, cape, and cool new outfit that lacks the signature underwear on the outside, charmed pretty much everyone, and flew off again with a rather large sum of money. I thought he was supposed to be one of the good guys, what is he doing stealing all that cash from us anyway?

Also, what is with the crazy texture on that suite? That can’t be comfortable so there must be another purpose, right? RIGHT?

#1 - Man of Steel

Budget: $225 Million (um, wow!)
Totals: $125 Million Domestic Opening Weekend / $71.6 Foreign Total / $196.7 Million Worldwide…

The Box Office is “Purged” - Box Office for June 10, 2013

The Box Office is “Purged” - Box Office for June 10, 2013

So, some film that I know nothing about has taken the top spot at the box office. I gotta get better at this apparently because I literally know nothing about this film except what I have read this morning. The budget might suggest why I haven’t heard of it…

#1 – The Purge

Budget: $3 Million
Totals: $36.4 Million Opening Weekend Gross / $3.5 Million Foreign Gross / $39.9 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1

What I currently know of this film after reading about it for two minutes looks suspiciously bad. It has garnered a 41% approval rating from the critics and 59% from the…

Box Office Report for June 3 - Can You See Me Now? Nope

Box Office Report for June 3 - Can You See Me Now? Nope

Now You See Me appears to be failing to amaze and no one seems to want to come closer because a film in its second weekend outing has come out ahead of Now You See Me which is in its first weekend outing.

And yet again I am disappointed.

#1 - Fast & Furious 6

Budget: $160 Million
Totals: $34.5 Million Weekend Gross / $310.2 Million Current Foreign Total / $480.5 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 2

Alright guys, you were complaining about my complaining when I had not even seen the film. So I saw it last weekend. As you would expect, some things about the film were better…

Box Office Report for May 27 - They’re Fast and I’m Furious

Box Office Report for May 27 - They’re Fast and I’m Furious

Hey guys, I hope you’re having a great   Day. Personally, I’m getting a pretty late start here and I’m not to worried about that.

Last weekend apparently the box office got a little Fast and Furious with tickets sales… Here’s what we’ve got.

#1 - Fast and Furious 6

Budget: $160 Million
Totals: $96.7 Million Domestic Weekend Gross / $197 Million Current Foreign Total / $317 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1

There must be something about this franchise that I’m just not getting. I don’t understand how something that looks like a pile of garbage can make this much money. And HOW…

Box Office Winners For May 20 - The Final Frontier

Box Office Winners For May 20 - The Final Frontier

There was very little doubt that Star Trek Into Darkness would take the top spot in domestic Box Office Sales. And even though it missed the projection a little, it’s nothing to sneeze at.

#1 - Star Trek Into Darkness

Budget: $190 Million
Totals: $70.5 Million Opening Weekend / $84 Million Current Domestic Total / $80.5 Million Current Foreign Total / $164,591,000 Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1 (domestically)

So this film did well on it’s first domestic weekend, even if it missed the studio’s projection slightly. They projected $80 to $100 Million, it opened to $70 Million this…

Box Office Report: May 6, 2013 - Iron Man Wins Again

Box Office Report: May 6, 2013 - Iron Man Wins Again

Well, my feature image and my post thumbnail for the box office feature always reflect the current number 1. I was hoping that I could do some Great Gatsby art, but alas, while The Great Gatsby did mighty well, Iron Man 3 has simply stolen the hearts of the people when it comes down to it. Therefore, as the art and the feature image on the home page reflect our first entry as this weekend’s box office winner is:

#1 - Iron Man 3

Budget: $200 Million
Totals: $72.5 Million Domestic / $664.1 Million Current Foreign Total / $949 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 2

I was kind of…

Box Office Report: May 6, 2013 - Iron Man Wins by WIDE Margin

Box Office Report: May 6, 2013 - Iron Man Wins by WIDE Margin

I think we have a winner this week, a big winner. In fact, almost as big as The Avengers opening weekend.

#1 - Iron Man 3

Budget: $200 Million
Totals: $175.3 Million Domestic / $504.8 Million Current Foreign Total / $680.1 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 1

Obviously, as we knew it would, Iron Man 3 has taken the top spot, and it has done so by a gigantic margin. Of course this film opened overseas more than a week ago and was already bringing home the big bucks before it opened here in the U.S. This being just the first week out Stateside, I think we can project this film is…
