Box Office Breakdown – 8/15/2016

by Leave a Comment

A critically mixed bag of reviews, two animated movies, a remake, a return, and some bad moms make up your top 5 for the weekend!

Geek for E_Box Office Breakdown

  1. Suicide Squad – The critics hate it. The fans are mixed. Yet DC’s Extended Universe of movies keep making money as Suicide Squad took the number one spot again for the second week.
  2. Sausage Party (new) – Raunchy animated comedy about grocery store food and what their daily life is like.
  3. Pete’s Dragon (new) – Disney remakes another movie from the 70’s for today’s modern audiences.
  4. Jason Bourne – Three weeks out and I think everyone that wanted to see another “Bourne” move already saw it.
  5. Bad Moms – someone is seeing it as it is in the top five for the third week. Let’s see what happens next week.

News and Notes:

  • The Ghostbusters (2016) remake is close to being classified as a BOMB of a remake.
  • Florence Foster Jenkins (new) opened in the 8th spot. Period pieces are not wide-range movies.
  • Kids movies are still out there for those that want to take the family – The Secret Life of Pets, Finding Dory, and Ice Age: Collision Course.

 

Trailer news – Bad Santa 2 (red band trailer)

by Leave a Comment

Red band trailer (pretty sure that this means that it’s not safe for work so play it where only you can hear it) for Bad Santa 2

From the official site and description:

BAD SANTA 2 returns Academy Award®-winner BILLY BOB THORNTON to the screen as America’s favorite anti-hero, Willie Soke. Fueled by cheap whiskey, greed and hatred, Willie teams up once again with his angry little sidekick, Marcus (TONY COX), to knock off a Chicago charity on Christmas Eve. Along for the ride is ‘the kid’ – chubby and cheery Thurman Merman (BRETT KELLY), a 250-pound ray of sunshine who brings out Willie’s sliver of humanity.

Mommy issues arise when the pair are joined by Academy Award®, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner KATHY BATES, as Willie’s horror story of a mother, Sunny Soke. A super butch super bitch, Sunny raises the bar for the gang’s ambitions, while somehow lowering the standards of criminal behavior. Willie is further burdened by lusting after the curvaceous and prim Diane, played by Emmy Award-nominee CHRISTINA HENDRICKS, the charity director with a heart of gold and libido of steel.

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.
