When it comes to winning big at the box office, never bet against Pixar. ‘Brave‘ is not only the acclaimed animation studio’s thirteenth film, it is their thirteenth film to open at number one at the box office. It’s a track record that just about everyone else in Hollywood would kill for.

Brad Paisley can be seen along side a very famous face in a new series of commercials, but it’s not who you would expect — and certainly not another country star. Paisley’s small screen co-star is none other than Jack in the Box’s famed, round-headed founder, Jack! In the comical commercials, Paisley and Jack meet and the singer becomes an instant fan of the tasty burgers, though he’s hesitant at first.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ and 'Prometheus' Remain Supreme

Jacob Hall — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 18:31:30 +0000

For those of us who follow the box office, this weekend was a case of deja vu. Once again, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ headlined the top ten and once again, ‘Prometheus‘ snatched the number two spot. Both films managed to keep their momentum despite the opening of two new releases starring two of the biggest movie stars in the world. That’s good news if you’re ‘Madagascar 3′ or ‘Prometheus,’ but pretty bad news if you’re Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ vs 'Prometheus'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:44:08 +0000

It’s difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ and ‘Prometheus‘ both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.

Sci-fi adventure or family-friendly animated fun? Take your pick — those are the new offerings at the movies this weekend.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Conquers

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:22:13 +0000

The box office can be a funny thing. Last weekend, ‘Men in Black 3‘ made $55 million and was considered a disappointment. This weekend, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ pulled in $56 million and it’s considered a roaring success. As bizarre as that sounds, it all makes sense when you look at the details.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Avengers' Sinks 'Battleship'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 20 May 2012 19:08:12 +0000

‘Battleship‘ was supposed to be the film that nudged ‘The Avengers‘ out of the number one spot at the box office, but instead you can just go ahead and insert your own “You sank my battleship!” joke here. ‘The Avengers’ didn’t cling to the top spot for the third week in a row, it dominated the top spot for the third week in a row, taking in another $55 million for a grand domestic total of $457 million.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Avengers' Destroy 'Dark Shadows'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:55:12 +0000

Poor Barnabas Collins never stood a chance. Tim Burton’s ‘Dark Shadows‘ found itself clobbered to death over the weekend courtesy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who rode a perfect cocktail of hype and stellar word-of-mouth to an unprecedented second weekend. It’s no longer a question of whether or not ‘The Avengers‘ will be one of the biggest movies of all time, mainly because it already is one of the biggest movies of all time: after only nineteen days, it’s crossed the $1 billion mark. The question we should be pondering now is whether or not it will become the biggest movie of all time.

New Movie Releases — 'Marvel's The Avengers' [VIDEO]

Just one new movie opening in wide release this weekend, but for comic book fans, it’s a Superhero-palooza. ‘Marvel’s The Avengers’ sees Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., recruiting notables like Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America to form a team that must stop Thor’s brother Loki from destroying the earth.
