8/2/2016 – Box Office Breakdown

by Leave a Comment

First I need to offer a very long overdue sorry for the delay in this weekly article. Real life (the one outside of the Geek for E flag) just took over and as you saw you didn’t see this article each week.

But I’m back and I’m ready to pick up where I left off…..the weekly Box Office Breakdown.

Geek for E_Box Office Breakdown

  1. Jason Bourne (new) – Matt Damon is “Bourne” Again! And it seems that he was missed (as some didn’t care for Jeremy Renner’s Bourne Legacy”).
  2. Star Trek Beyond – two weeks out on the Enterprise’s next adventure and dropped to the number two spot.
  3. Bad Moms (new) – another comedy where we take the normal and shake it up into a “let’s all be bad-asses” movie. Looks funny but the box office doesn’t seem to be laughing.
  4. The Secret Life of Pets – a family animated moviekeeping strong in the top five.
  5. Ice Age: Collision Course – another family animated movie keeping strong in the top five

News and Notes:

  • Ghostbusters (2016) is still getting mixed reviews and still slipping in the box office. I wonder if this may grow when the digital download and Blu-ray are released later this year.
  • Finding Dorry is still in the top 10 finishing in at number 9.
  • It will be interesting to see how this weekend the Suicide Squad does after the mixed reviews that Batman v Superman got back in May.

7/6/2016 – Box Office Breakdown

by Leave a Comment

Welcome back from a long holiday weekend (and for some, it was a bit longer due to work on Tuesday).  Again the little blue fish took the top spot while the next three spots were all new movies while the latest sequel in the box office finished up the top five.

Geek for E_Box Office Breakdown

  1. Finding Dory – just keeps on swimming to that number one spot.
  2. The Legend of Tarzan (new) – another Tarzan movie swinging into the theaters.
  3. The Purge: Election Year (new) – this franchise keeps bringing movies and people keep going to see it. Read our review right here!
  4. BFG (new) – beloved book by a few made leap to big screen by Steven Spielberg yet tanked at the box office in terms of cost of production vs tickets sold.
  5. Independence Day: Resurgence – dropped from second to fifth and has lots of mixed buzz in the market place.

News and Notes

  • Will Dory be challenged this weekend by a lot of house pets? The Secret Life of Pets debuts on Friday with a stellar voice cast so it will be interesting to see what happens.

See you all next week!

Three new movies in the top five yet NONE OF THEM were able to take down the blue fish known as Dory.

Geek for E_Box Office Breakdown

  1. Finding Dory – just keeps swimming in the top spot for the second week.
  2. Independence Day: Resurgence (New) – twenty years after the original, ID:R is back to show that the aliens were always going to come back.
  3. Central Intelligence – The Rock and Kevin Hart are staying strong against stiff competition.
  4. The Shallows (New) – a surfer and a shark meet at a rock and no one cares.
  5. Free State of Jones (New) – went the Civil War route on this one but forgot one thing…the only “Civil War” people wanted to see had Captain America and Iron Man.

News and Notes:

  • Sequels are the remaining top 10 movies: The Conjuring 2 (6th), Now You See Me 2 (7th), X-Men: Apocalypse (8th), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (9th), Alice Through the Looking Glass (10th). This has bee a summer of sequels up till now.

If Mr and Mrs Smith were a comedy, you’d have Keeping Up With The Joneses.

Official description: An ordinary suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher) finds it’s not easy keeping up with the Joneses (Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot) – their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbors – especially when they discover that Mr. and Mrs. “Jones” are covert operatives.

Staring: Zach Galifianakis, Jon Hamm, Isla Fisher, Gal Gadot

In Theaters – October 21, 2016

But she’s missing, he’s being charged with a crime committed nearly 20 years ago, and he may even have a daughter.
