Overall, at least based on the movies I saw, July was mostly an okay month for movies. But then again, I only saw five (out of 15 of the) major theatrical releases. And out of those five I saw, I only enjoyed two. "Despicable Me 2" was the strongest of the ones I saw. "Pacific [...]
Tag: R.I.P.D.
Box Office Results July 26-28. (I can’t think of a clever title.)
"The Wolverine" did good business this weekend, but not nearly as great as everyone thought it would be. While it was tracking for a $70 million opening, it was only able to nab a $53.114 million opening. This opening should be attributed to the fact that the disappointing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" disappointed many, so it [...]
R.I.P.D. (2013)
Release Date: July 19, 2013. Director: Robert Schwentke. Stars: Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon. Runtime: 96 min. A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department, that hunt Deados (ugly spirits who slipped through the cracks of the system and are now rotting on earth), [...]
Box Office Predictions: July 26-28
"The Wolverine" has the benefit of opening on a weekend where there isn't any other blockbuster. Of course, there are the holdovers, but they don't pose much direct competition. The five previous X-Men films open to a weighted average of $76.58 million. It will earn less than that number, but not by a wide margin. [...]
“The Conjuring” scares a big audience, Snails and Retired Spies do okay, “R.I.P.D.” bombs hard
New releases from the weekend that are still on my watchlist: The Conjuring, R.I.P.D., Red 2, Turbo. So, all of them! I've realized that I haven't been a good box office analyst. I've been posting my predictions, but neglecting to report the results. This weekend, I'll change that. At the beginning of 2013, it was looking like this [...]
Box Office Predictions: July 19-21
There are four big releases coming out this weekend, so I'll try to keep my thoughts on each of the movies brief, so this article doesn't become too tedious. The movies are "The Conjuring", "Red 2", "R.I.P.D." and "Turbo". "The Conjuring" will do superb business this weekend. James Wan's movies have an average opening of [...]
My most anticipated movies of July
Hi everyone, this is my post for the movies I'm most anticipating this month. I'm going to leave out the ones I'm not anticipating (but will be seeing), because who wants to write a paragraph about a movie they're not particularly passionate about? (I'm talking about you, GROWN UPS 2.) I'll be writing reviews about [...]
After Earth (2013)
Release Date: May 31, 2013 Director: M. Night Shyamalan Stars: Jaden Smith, Will Smith, Sophie Okonedo Runtime: 100 min I've only seen two of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. The Sixth Sense is one of my favourite thrillers. The Happening is not. I'd like to see more of his movies; so I can witness a rise [...]
