Though Iron Man 3 still ruled the weekend, The Great Gatsby exceeded all expectations and made over $50 Million this weekend. The obvious joke would be to suggest that a lot of book reports must be due for the end of the school year. Yeah, that's the obvious joke.

Marvel has done it again, as Iron Man 3 tops the box office with the second highest opening weekend of all time. It comes in second place to The Avengers, which broke the record last year, and ended up making $600 Million domestic. So, looking at IM3's opening, we're looking at somewhere around a half a billion domestic...

Iron Man 3 has already scored a hefty $300 in overseas box office receipts, so it should come as no surprise that in approximately 12 or so hours it’s already made a killing at the American box office.

Summer is almost here, and you can tell that by the international numbers for Iron Man 3. The movie (which opens in less than a week stateside) has nearly cleared $200 Million internationally, which is nearly ten times what Pain and Gain made to top the box office in America.

With one picture opening this weekend, it seemed inevitable that Oblivion would nab the top spot. And -- no surprise -- that's exactly what happened. But summer's not so far away, so it's a smaller victory in the scheme of things.

In a shocking upset, it appears people actually did turn out for 42, and skipped Scary Movie 5. Audiences having taste? It happens. Sometimes.

Normally April is one of the weakest box office months of the year, as the season take a breath between the March hits and the big summer movies that start the first week of May. But not this year. The Evil Dead remake leads a crowded field of strong performers this weekend, and with Oblivion and Pain and Gain, we...

It's no surprise that G.I. Joe: Retaliation topped the box office, it was going to make some money when it was released. The big thing for the movie is that it's already popular overseas, where it made an additional $80 Million, and that puts its grand total near $130 Million (which is the reported budget). Which means Paramount absolutely did the right thing with the...

Though last year this weekend saw the release of The Hunger Games - which made a boatload of money by itself - the same weekend a year later proved to do pretty good without a gigantic blockbuster. Not only did The Croods open better than expected, but Olympus has Fallen bucked the trends of recent action movies and...

Going into this weekend it looked like old comic hands might do better than a generic-looking Halle Berry thriller. But though neither The Incredible Burt Wonderstone nor The Call could outperform Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Jim Carrey-Steve Carell comedy flopped hard, while the thriller managed to outperform....

The first gigantic film of 2013 has arrived, and it's Sam Raimi's Oz: the Great and Powerful.  The film has a clear path to over $200 Million, and though it didn't do Alice in Wonderland numbers, it's still a monster. Check out the full results...

If the film didn't cost $195 Million, the opening of Jack the Giant Slayer would probably be a good reason to celebrate. Unfortunately it cost a lot and will probably never make its money back, unless international audiences go for it. It's a snoozer of a box office weekend, but here are the numbers anyway.

It's Oscar weekend, which means that people aren't really going to see the new movies. the best hold of the week went to Silver Linings Playbook, and the two new pictures got topped by a three week old comedy that still fell forty percent.   Film Weekend Per Screen Total 1 Identity Thief $14,064,000...

Well, it's no surprise that A Good Day to Die Hard ended up on top, but was it a quick victory, or signs of new life in a quarter-century old franchise? We'll know next week. And as for Beautiful Creatures this weekend... well,  it does not portend well for future young adult fiction. All that and more...

There's no getting around it. Melissa McCarthy is now a movie star and Identity Thief is a monster hit. Storm or no storm, people turned out in droves for this film.While Side Effects, supposedly Steven Soderbergh's swan song from filmmaking, did modest business.

With the Super Bowl this weekend, it's surprising that Warm Bodies made over $20 Million dollars. That's an impressive start and it's possible the film could play long. It's a good example of counter-programing, which also explains why Bullet to the Head crashed and burned. Check out the weekend results below.

It's not much of a victory, but Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters topped the box office, though the real story is the holds of the Oscar pictures. So let's talk about the numbers.

It's easy to note that Jessica Chastain stars in the top two grossing films of this weekend (Mama and Zero Dark Thirty), but it's not like audiences were like "Man, that Jessica Chastain was great in that Osama Bin Laden movie, maybe we should see her in some horror film." In fact, most audiences probably don't even know who she is yet....

After weeks of debate, the American public can now see Zero Dark Thirty, and  it turns out they wanted to. The Best picture nominee ended up taking the weekend, fending off a terrible looking comedy and Gangster Squad. You wouldn't think it was January looking at these numbers, but people are going to the movies these days, and how.

Well, how do you like that? After an impressive showing on opening day, it looks like Les Miserables isn't the powerhouse that was expected. That's not to say it did bad business, but it may have peaked on Christmas. And Django Unchained proved exceptionally strong considering that it's three hours long and has been at the center of some...
