Weekend Round-up (10/12/15)

by Leave a Comment

Another weekend is in the books. Not part of the top 10 but the new Steve Jobs movie had a nice opening for limited release. I’m curious as to what will happen once it is in wide release.

Now for the top 10! The Martian again took the top spot with Hotel Transylvania 2 following close at number 2. Pan the new take on the Peter Pan prequel came in at 3rd and I have a feeling this one will keep sliding down the charts over the next few weeks. The Walk was released to more theaters and it jumped to the 7th spot.

Weekend Wrap-up (9/14)

by Leave a Comment

Another weekend came and went and there was some good and bad at the box-office. The good is that two new movies topped the list at spots 1 and 2. The Perfect Guy took the number 1 spot while the newest venture from M.Night Shyamalan, The Visit took the number 2 spot (he he…number 2….). M:I-RN is still going strong while Compton is getting a lot of respect from all who have seen it.

The bad is that We Are Your Friends is the worst movie of the Summer that it has fallen completely off the charts and I can’t pick on it any longer.
