None of this week’s releases — not even Keanu — will be able to keep The Jungle Book from taking the top spot at the box office for a third consecutive week. However, in addition to Key & Peele’s big screen début, Garry Marshall is back to destroy yet another holiday and a video game you might have forgotten about gets the big screen treatment along with a trio of platform releases. Here are the releases for the week of April 29th:Read More →

We’re still basking in the glow of The Jungle Book this week as no one will come close to knocking it off of it’s box office thrown… not even two powerful queens. Neither will a multi-cultural action duo, Tricky Dick and the King, a holographic image being sold to a king, a meddling mom or anyone else for that matter. Even though they won’t contend for the box office crown, let’s take a look at the theatrical releases for the week of April 22nd:

The Boss earned a TKO at the box office last week as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was bumped from the top spot (thanks to The Boss‘ Thursday preview dollars) but everything is out of contention for this week’s #1 at the box office. This week you can write The Jungle Book in Sharpie but will it top $80 million? It’s not expected to approach April’s biggest opening (Furious 7 opened at $147 million last year) but it could make it to #3 (Fast Five at $86 million) or it could miss the mark and not even make it to #4 (Fast & Furious at $71 million). Also joining the fray is yet another sequel with a huge gap between it’s last appearance on the big screen: Barbershop: The Next Cut which comes 12 years after Barbershop 2. All that, a Kevin Costner film and two very exciting platform releases in To See or Not to See for the week of April 15th:

According to MTV, Melissa McCarthy is a “Comedic Genius” and will be showing off that genius this week. At the very least, she might send the Son of Krypton and Bat of Gotham out of the top spot at the box office. We”ll see if she shows Batman and Superman who the boss really is this weekend.  We also have a first-person shooter (wait… that’s a movie?), a Jake Gyllenhaal movie which means I have to Google how to spell “Gyllenhaal” and Anna Kendrick as that character Anna Kendrick plays in pretty much every movie she’s been in before. All that and box office predictions for the weekend of April 8th:Read More →

A polarizing sequel and a parody no one asked for go wide. Four platform releases including Richard Linklater doing to ’80s college what he did to ’70s high school in Dazed and Confused, Don Cheadle as Miles Davis, your bi-annual chess fix and an off-the-wall satirical look at the ’40s detective flick. All that and MHT’s box office projections (We know Batman v Superman will be #1 again but how far will it drop?) for the weekend of April 1st… no foolin’!Read More →

The question at the box office this week is will third installment in the Divergent series underperform enough to allow Zootopia to take the top spot for a third consecutive week? There’s other questions, too. Do you believe in Miracles or does 10 Cloverfield Lane have enough staying power to finish third? It’s really a matter of faith. And how badly will The Bronze bomb? Let’s take a look at this week’s new releases and give our fearless box office projections:

It would be shocking if Zootopia doesn’t hold on to the top box office spot for a 2nd straight week but J.J. Abrams already pulled a fast one with the 10 Cloverfield Lane trailer. Will it mean box office magic for the film shrouded in mystery? The big question for The Brothers Grimsby is will Sacha Baron Cohen actually appear on a jumping shark in the film? Finally, there’s potential box office gold in the faith-based The Young Messiah and the same for The Perfect Match as it targets the African American audience.

Deadpool won’t be ruling the box office for a fourth week as Disney’s Zootopia furrily enters the fray with big time expectations. Can Zootopia reach the heights of Frozen? Will Deadpool dip to third with the sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, hitting theaters this week? How will Tina Fey’s dramedy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot do? Will The Other Side of the Door do well enough to get an expansion next week? Why the hell is Knight of Cups only playing in New York and Los Angeles? Have I asked enough questions yet?
