WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: June 1-3

The beginning of June saw the rise of another “blockbuster” as Snow White And The Huntsman takes the top spot at the box office last weekend. Somehow people managed to love the fairy tale rehash despite it being met with some pretty bad reviews. It goes to show you that the producers in Hollywood are great at milking a sick cow to death and convincing everyone that they need a drink.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: May 25-27

The Avengers have finally been dethroned as Men In Black 3 takes the top spot at the box office this week.

Battleship continues to sink, and newly released Chernobyl Diaries ends up somewhere in the middle of the charts where it belongs.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: May 18-20

Battleship has quite the fight ahead if it hopes to at least break even, as it cost just north of 200 million to make.
