It’s a nifty promotional idea for a film that is sure to have many repeat […]

Last year, this was a highly successful frame, with the surprise breakouts of “Ted” and “Magic Mike.” I’m doubtful we’re in for a repeat, however, because last weekend’s openers, “Monsters University” and “World War Z,” […]

After two weekends of wildly missing the mark, my accuracy improved last weekend, albeit not to the extent that I wanted it to. I lowballed on both “Man of Steel” and “This is the End,” […]

I began an official accuracy slump last week, under-predicting both “The Purge” (who didn’t?) and “The Internship,” making it two weeks in a row that I got both openers off by a considerable margin. So […]

After coming very close to nailing “Star Trek Into Darkness” last week, coming within three percent of its actual gross, I feel pretty good going into this four-day holiday frame. But with three new wide […]
