Wind River Is A Snow-Ridden Search For Answers

What is Wind River? Well, it's an Indian Reservation, primarily populated by Native American individuals, that is located in Wyoming. It is here that Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) makes his living as he hunts predators for farmers who are concerned that said predators may be gobbling down their livestock. It's an occupation that makes him a decent chunk of change and allows him to live close to his son with whom he shares custody with his ex-wife. While on patrol for his job one day, Cory comes across the body of a deceased young woman in the snow. An FBI agent, Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen), is called in to help with the investigation into this mysterious death, as suspicions soon arise that this lady could have been murdered.

Goosebumps Sends Shivers Across The Box Office. Also; Crimson Peak? More Like Crimson Meek (Box Office)

Goosebumps was numero uno at the box office this weekend, grossing a decent $23.5 million in its opening weekend. That's a solid number for the book adaptation, though putting it below the opening weekends of other movies of its ilk (Ender's Game opened to $27 million for instance and this opening was about on the same level as the $23.2 million debut of Eragon from ten years ago). This one should perform well over the next two weeks considering how well timed it is to Halloween, though The Peanuts Movie will likely demolish it in its fourth weekend.

The Martian Remains In Orbit At The Top Of The Box Office While Pan Gets Hooked Off The Box Office Stage

Mark Watney (Matt Damon) has become a botanist, grown potatoes on Mars and now has starred in the biggest movie in America for two straight weeks. Yep, The Martian led the box office again, grossing an impressive $37 million for the frame, which is the sixth best second weekend for a 2015 feature. That's only a 32% dip from last weekend, a larger drop than the 22% dip experienced by Gravity in its second frame, but much better than the 40% drop Interstellar had in its second go-around.

The Martian Blasts Off At The Box Office While The Walk Stumbles

While Matt Damon was stranded on Mars, everyone seemed to be stranded at the movies this weekend, as The Martian did exceptional record-breaking business and holdovers like Hotel Transylvania 2, Sicario and The Intern also drew great business. Of course, the biggest of all releases this weekend was The Martian, scoring a $55 million opening weekend that makes it the second biggest opening of all-time in October (it may overtake the current October opening weekend record-holder Gravity and its $55.7 million opening if it outperforms box office estimates). With the feature drawing excellent word-of-mouth, it should have no problem sticking around at the box office for weeks to come.

Thursday Night Numbers Indicate Strong Opening Weekend For The Martian

Anticipation for The Martian has been high for a while now, ever since that first teaser lifted off and grabbed everyone's attention. It looks like all systems are go for the movie, as it just made $2.5 million last night at Thursday night screenings. That's up a whopping 76% from the $1.4 million Gravity made in its Thursday night showings, while also being 28% below the $3.5 million earned by Interstellar in those specific screenings.

Hotel Transylvania 2 Scares Up Big Numbers, The Intern See's Lots Of Clients And Everest [Insert Mountain Pun Here]

For the first time in over 8 weeks, a new family movie entered the marketplace, and Hotel Transylvania 2 prospered in a landscape sorely lacking family films. This Genndy Tartakovsky film grossed $47,5 million over the weekend, about 15% above the opening weekend of the first film, as well as the second biggest opening weekend of Adam Sandler's career and the largest September opening weekend of all-time (not adjusted for inflation). Interestingly, four of the ten biggest September opening weekends now belong to features from Sony Pictures Animation.
