On paper, a high-concept blend of Groundhog Day and Starship Troopers sounds like a recipe for disaster. In practice, critics say Edge of Tomorrow is a thoroughly entertaining sci-fi action flick with a sharp sense of humor and muscular acting from Tom Cruise. With the planet under attack from alien invaders, Major William Cage (Cruise) is sent into battle—and killed instantly. However, he finds himself in a time loop, reliving the same battle scenario and gradually discovering how to defeat the enemy. The pundits say the Certified Fresh Edge of Tomorrow is a rare beast—it’s a pulpy,…

That brings the total worldwide box office haul for X-Men: Days of Future Past to just over $500 million, setting a new record for the franchise in just nine days. To compare to the totals of previous series installments (The Wolverineis the only other 3D release in the series):

• $296,339,527 - X-Men (2000)
• $407,711,549 – X2: X-Men United (2003)
• $459,359,555 – X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
• $373,062,864 – X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
• $353,624,124 – X-Men: First Class (2011)
• $414,828,246 – The Wolverine (2013)

At this rate, Days of Future Past will finish with a $700 million+ total…

Once upon a dream, Disney brought us the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but according to their latest film, they may not have been entirely truthful in that story they told us, and now they’re here to set the record straight.

To be sure, the film has its detractors. Maleficent‘s box office success is only eclipsed by the exceedingly harsh reviews — though not nearly as harsh as Angelina Jolie’s cheek bones as the titular character.

The film proposes to us that things in the once upon a time may not be all that we have been led to believe. And so we are taken on a journey through the childhood of…

So it’s no real surprise that herDisney hit “Maleficent” was number one at the box-office this weekend taking in $70 million — her biggest opening weekend ever (and it’s her first live-action film in four years to boot). The movie has taken off internationally as well and earned $44 million on Thursday and Friday for a total of $100 million all weekend. Even though “Maleficent” wasn’t loved by critics (a 51% RT score, our review here), audiences didn’t seem to care and in fact, the PG-rated movie was given an A Cinemascore. It’s a crowded summer, but if “Maleficent” has legs it could hit the…

With Godzilla in theaters, Legendary and Warner Bros. have revealed discussions for a sequel. We don’t know what the story will be (Mothra, perhaps?), and there is no confirmation that director Gareth Edwards will return, but given the performance of the first film, there’s reason to guess that the job of directing Godzilla 2 is Edwards’ to refuse. The fact of sequel development hardly comes as a surprise, but this is the first official nod acknowledging that something is in the works.

I’m not shocked. It’s the first good take on a Godzilla film as far as I’m aware, and Godzilla already…

(Yeah, yeah, sorry about the headline. Sometimes I can’t help myself and just have to write a cheesy one.)

While there were complaints about the “show everything” marketing campaign, and though critics were far less kind to the sequel than its predecessor, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” shot a web into the top spot this weekend, with a massive $92 million opening.

Already open overseas for the past two weeks, where it has already earned north of $275 million, this weekend puts the film over $365 million worldwide, with much more to come. The film’s performance beat the opening of Sam Raimi’s…

The threesome of Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton proved to be too much for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Fox’s raunchy girlfriends comedy, about two mistresses who team up with a man’s insecure wife to ruin his life and rediscover theirs, earned $24.7 million to bump the Marvel superhero from his three-week box office run at No. 1.

It was a surprisingly high number for The Other Woman, given that some analysts speculated the movie would do about half that by appealing strictly to female moviegoers. Given Diaz’s comedy track record with everything from There’s Something…

Directors Anthony and Joe Russo‘s Captain America: The Winter Soldier marched past the $600 million mark at the global box office Tuesday as it continues to outpace the first film by nearly 160 percent. The movie is destined to take in more than $700 million by the end of its run, likely making it the No. 9 superhero title of all time.

Not bad, and well deserved.

Based on the the sequel’s performance, sources say Disney still has no plans to move Captain America 3 off of its May 6, 2016 release date. That’s the same day that Warner Bros. Superman-Batman film is set to debut, setting the…

Disney is having a good year. Thanks to the insane success of “Frozen” and their Marvel studios wing, the studio has already crossed the $1 billion mark for 2014 and it’s not even May. Part of that success is thanks to “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which spent its third week at the #1 box-office spot. Crossing the $200 million mark domestically, the film added another $26.6 million to its domestic tally (only down 36% from the previous weekend) and banked another $35.3 million overseas for $586 million total worldwide. Could it be one of Marvel’s highest grossing films ever? Maybe,…
