Box Office Analysis: Brad Pitt Looms Over Channing Tatum And Ben Affleck

Box Office Analysis is back from the dead this week, though I'm trying a new format where I take more of a larger look at a number of films at the box office instead of just one particular movie or topic.

Ben Affleck And An Evil Doll Compete For Your Money (Box Office Predictions)

A busy, busy, busy weekend at the box office this weekend, with three new wide releases and a limited release shaking things up. Shall we start with the newest film from David Fincher? I think yes!

The Equalizer Review

There was this brief trend in the first few years of the 21st century of revamping old TV shows for modern day films. Charlie's Angels started this phenomenon, and the likes of Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice and The Dukes of Hazzard kept it going. It's slowed down in recent years, but the likes of Dark Shadows and 21 Jump Street show that Hollywood loves taking classic programs and revamping them as new movies. The Equalizer is the newest film adhering to this thought process, though even without watching any of the show, a quick glance to the original shows Wikipedia page confirms that this is less of an adaptation of that 80's TV show and more of a cinematic excuse for Denzel Washington to punch people.

Box Office Predictions: The Equalizer Should Stabilize The Box Office

Man, everyone was early with their box office predictions yesterday. Normally, everyone does 'em Thursday night, but nope, Hollywood Reporter and Box Office Mojo had their predictions up last night.

Box Office Analysis: A Quick Look At September 2014 Cinema

Well, with the traditionally lousy post-Labor Day weekend out of the way, there's really nowhere to go but up for September 2014. While this coming weekend will pare in comparison to the same weekend in 2013 when Insidious Chapter 2 reigned supreme, there are much larger movies than usual opening at the end of the month, meaning this particular September could be one of the biggest in history.
