Box Office Calm Before the "Wakanda Forever" Storm

By Ben Miller

To say studios are anxious to make room for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an understatement.  With only one new wide release (and a niche release, at that), the weekend box office looked much like it did the week before.  The total box office came in under $60 million, but that is all in anticipation of an expected $150-200 million opening next weekend.

Holdovers and Halloween: A Quiet Box Office Weekend

By Ben Miller

With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever inching closer to release, studios aren't about to release anything big that the Marvel behemoth could engulf.  With only two new releases for the Halloween weekend and two additional wide expansions, Black Adam and Ticket to Paradise both repeated their top spots from last week's chart.

Movie Stars Ruled the Weekend's Box Office

By Ben Miller

Don't let the haters tell you that movie stars don't matter.  The Dwayne Johnson led DC entry Black Adam easily won the weekend with $67 million.  That's Johnson's biggest opening for a film without the words Fast, Furious, or Mummy.  George Clooney & Julia Roberts counterprogramming rom-com Ticket to Paradise did just fine for itself with a $16.5 million opening.  Those two films expect to have some legs as there are no big openings release until Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on November 11th. And there are only 8 movies in wide release at that. The theaters need more movies...
