Theater counts: Spider-Man is back as No Way Home swings into theaters for the Labor Day weekend

September 1st, 2022

Spider-Man: No Way Home

After a couple of months away from theaters and nearly $1.9 billion in worldwide earnings, Spider-Man: No Way Home once again casts its web into cinemas this weekend, playing in an impressive 3,935 locations and once again becoming the widest release of the week. The new cut of Spider-Man: No Way Home, billed as Spider-Man: No Way Home—The More Fun Stuff Version was announced on twitter back in June in jokey video from all three Spider-Men (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland). The mega-blockbuster film is not the only wide release to hit theaters this weekend however as Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul makes its theatrical debut in a solid 1,880 locations, while Gigi & Nate arrives in 1,184 theaters. As an extra bonus, another cult classic makes its way back into cinemas as Jaws is being released in 1,246 movie houses. More...

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. trailer

August 24th, 2022

Comedy starring Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown opens in theaters and on Peacock on September 2 ... Full Movie Details.

As the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, Trinitie Childs carries immense responsibility on her shoulders. Her church, Wander To Greater Paths, once served a congregation in the tens of thousands, but after a scandal involving her husband, Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs, forced the church to close temporarily, Trinitie is struggling to manage the aftermath. Now Trinitie and Lee-Curtis must rebuild their congregation and reconcile their faith by all means necessary to make the biggest comeback that commodified religion has ever seen. More...

Featured Blu-ray and DVD Review: The Predator

December 23rd, 2018

The Predator

The Predator is the latest installment in the franchise. The first Predator is widely considered a classic; however, since then no film in the franchise has really come close to that mark. Can this film finally rediscover the magic of the first movie? Or has the franchise run its course? More...

2018 Preview: September

September 1st, 2018

The Predator

Overall, August was a little better than expected. Granted, there were no monster hits, but Warner Bros. had two $100 million hits in The Meg and Crazy Rich Asians. Meanwhile, Christopher Robin will come close enough to that milestone to be a hit. This allowed 2018 to stretch its lead over 2017 by over $700 million. Will that lead grow in September? Nope. Not even close. There are three major problems that will hurt September’s box office. Firstly, there are a lot of films that may or may not open wide. Secondly, there are no films opening this month that have a better than 50/50 chance of hitting $100 million. Finally... It. It destroyed records last September, earning more during its opening weekend than any film opening this month will earn in total. Fortunately, 2018 has such an enormous lead that even with It, 2018 should remain ahead of 2107 by $500 million at the end of the month. More...

2018 Preview: June

June 1st, 2018

Incredibles 2

This May was an odd month, as Avengers: Infinity War opened on the last weekend of April, rather than the first weekend of May. This meant May started out slowly, but Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story did well enough to give 2018 a healthy lead over 2017. Looking forward, there are two potential monster hits this month, Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and another $100 million hit, Ocean’s 8. Last June, there were four $100 million hits, led by Wonder Woman, which pulled in over $400 million. I think 2018 and 2017 will be an even match at the top, so 2018 will have to rely on depth to improve upon its lead over 2017. More...

Featured Blu-ray and DVD Review: Black Panther

May 7th, 2018

Black Panther

Black Panther was expected to be a hit; after all, it’s part of the MCU. However, almost no one was expecting it to become the biggest hit in the MCU. It is also considered the best film in the MCU by a lot of people. Am I one of them? If not, where does it fit? More...
