May 18th, 2012 James Shotwell

The good news continues to roll in for Marvel, Disney, Joss Whedon, and everyone else involved with The Avengers.

“Hunger Games” Earns $155 Million, Shatters Box Office Records

March 25th, 2012 James Shotwell

We all knew The Hunger Games would be big, but I do not think anyone could have predicted just how successful it would become.

In only three days (and some midnight showings), early estimates from Lionsgate report that The Hunger Games has earned an amazing $155 million domestically. The film, which is an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Suzanne Collins, now has the third-highest opening weekend ever, behind Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 and The Dark Knight.

Elsewhere on this weekend’s chart, Horrible Bosses bested expectations by raking in $28 million to open in second, …

“Cars 2″ wins at the box office, loses with audience

June 27th, 2011 James Shotwell

The box office results are in and it turns out, no one cares if you’re the lowest scoring Pixar film ever on RottenTomatoes because people couldn’t drive fast enough to Cars 2 this weekend. Taking in $68 million, the film surpassed the opening of the original, but failed in comparison to Toy Story 3‘s $110 million weekend last year.

Bringing in $31 to arrive in second (but also fail with critics), Bad Teacher proved people love raunch, regardless of how original it is. Expectations for the film were averaging $20 million, so this has become a relative …
