DVD Releases for January 20, 2009 - Part I
January 20th, 2009
A terrible week for first run releases. There are five such releases on this week's list, but they has a combined haul of around $130 million, and nearly $100 million of that came from two films. With no big releases, we had to look other places for the DVD Pick of the Week.Repo! The Genetic Opera onBlu-ray is a clear contender for that title, but its lack of mass appeal is troublesome.This American Life -Season Two is a safer pick, but it is a Borders Exclusive release. Regardless of these issues, both releases are worthy of the DVD Pick of the Week. Despite the weakness at the top, there are still more than enough total releases to cause this column to stretch into two parts. The second part can be foundhere.More...
DVD Sales - Express Runs to the Top
January 19th, 2009
Thenew releases overwhelmed the sales chartthis week taking the top four places, and six of the top ten, and nine of the top thirty. This includes the new number one film,Pineapple Express, which opened in first place with 1.48 million units sold and $31.39 million in revenue.More...

DVD Releases for January 6, 2009
January 6th, 2009
The new year starts off like most on the home market, rather weak. There are few first run releases coming out this week, most of which are terrible. We do have one top-notch release though,Duckman -Season Three and Four, which is clearly the DVD Pick of the Week.More...
International Details - World Sees Saw
November 9th, 2008

International Details - Barcelona Strong in France, Italy
October 26th, 2008

This includes France, where the film remained in first place with $3.15 million on 443 screens for the week and $7.68 million after two. Meanwhile, it opened in Italy with $2.16 million on 378 screens, which was enough for second place in that market.More...
International Details - Updates and More
October 19th, 2008
First some updates onWednesday's numbers. Due to Columbus Day, we were relying on studio estimates instead of final numbers, and while they were mostly accurate, they were not entirely accurate. TheRussia film,Admiral (Koltchak), did indeed top the charts with $12.51 million on 1,223 screens in 2 markets over the weekend and $13.31 million in total. Meanwhile,Eagle Eye added $10.88 million on 3,030 screens in 38 markets for a still early total of $29.41 million.Mamma Mia! continues its quest for $400 million with $8.37 million on 3,713 screens in 46 markets for a total of $390.72 million. These three films were very close to the original figures, however, the rest of the top five was different than originally reported, starting with...More...
International Details - United Germany Lifts Teutonic Offering
October 12th, 2008
German Unification Day helped The Baader Meinhof Complex grow by 10% as it remained in second place inGermany with $4.82 million on 594 screens for a total of $10.99 million after two weeks.

Box Office in Dangerous Territory
September 8th, 2008
After the summer comes the fall, which was certainly true this past weekend.Bangkok Dangerous and rest of the market only pulled in just $68 million over the weekend, which is 45% lower than last weekend. However, while that's a huge drop-off, more importantly it is nearly 15% lower than the same weekend last year and theninth weakest weekend since 2000, and worst weekend in five years. Year-to-date, 2008 is now behind 2007 by just over 1% at $6.75 billion to $6.82 billion, but hopefully it will bounce back next weekend. I can't imagine it will be worse.More...
Summer's Stormy End
September 2nd, 2008
The Dark Knight did what few films in the past decade were able to do, lead the box office charts for four weeks in a row. NowTropic Thunder is one weekend away from tying that mark. However, it was able to win this weekend thanks to weakness in the new releases, which caused the box office to slump. From Friday to Sunday the industry brought in $98 million, which was 8% lower than last weekend and 17% lower than the same weekend last year. Over four days, $124 million was earned, which was again 17% lower than the same weekend last year. Year-to-date, 2008 fell further behind $6.67 billion to $6.73 billion, but that is still less than a 1% difference and certainly not an insurmountable lead.More...
Movie Website Reviews for Weekend of August 29, 2008
August 30th, 2008
Summer ends with a lot of second-tier releases. The only movie that is earning reviews that are above the horrible level isTraitor. It is also the only film with anOfficial Site that is worth recognizing with the Weekly Website Award.More...
Laborious Weekend for New Releases
August 28th, 2008
Labor Day long weekend is the final weekend of summer, but far from ending on a high note, it is arguably the slowest long weekend of the year. And this year it looks to be no different, at least in terms of box office numbers. In terms of new releases, well, that's a another story with four movies opening wide, and another expanding wide. It is very unlikely that they will all succeed; in fact, it is more likely that they will all bomb. This makes it very difficult to predict which new release will come out on top, if any do.More...

2008 Preview: August
August 1st, 2008
Summer usually comes screeching to a halt early in August, usually by the second weekend in August. However, this year we could have a $100 million hit opening each of the first three weeks. Or we could have no $100 million hits opening during the whole month. On the other end, there are a number of releases that probably looked good on paper, but failed to live up to their potential, not to mention a few that could not have looked good, even on paper. (I'm looking at you,Disaster Movie.)More...

DVD Releases for January 20, 2009 - Part I
January 20th, 2009
A terrible week for first run releases. There are five such releases on this week's list, but they has a combined haul of around $130 million, and nearly $100 million of that came from two films. With no big releases, we had to look other places for the DVD Pick of the Week.Repo! The Genetic Opera onBlu-ray is a clear contender for that title, but its lack of mass appeal is troublesome.This American Life -Season Two is a safer pick, but it is a Borders Exclusive release. Regardless of these issues, both releases are worthy of the DVD Pick of the Week. Despite the weakness at the top, there are still more than enough total releases to cause this column to stretch into two parts. The second part can be foundhere.More...
DVD Sales - Express Runs to the Top
January 19th, 2009

DVD Releases for January 6, 2009
January 6th, 2009
The new year starts off like most on the home market, rather weak. There are few first run releases coming out this week, most of which are terrible. We do have one top-notch release though,Duckman -Season Three and Four, which is clearly the DVD Pick of the Week.More...

International Details - Updates and More
October 19th, 2008
First some updates onWednesday's numbers. Due to Columbus Day, we were relying on studio estimates instead of final numbers, and while they were mostly accurate, they were not entirely accurate. TheRussia film,Admiral (Koltchak), did indeed top the charts with $12.51 million on 1,223 screens in 2 markets over the weekend and $13.31 million in total. Meanwhile,Eagle Eye added $10.88 million on 3,030 screens in 38 markets for a still early total of $29.41 million.Mamma Mia! continues its quest for $400 million with $8.37 million on 3,713 screens in 46 markets for a total of $390.72 million. These three films were very close to the original figures, however, the rest of the top five was different than originally reported, starting with...More...

Box Office in Dangerous Territory
September 8th, 2008
After the summer comes the fall, which was certainly true this past weekend.Bangkok Dangerous and rest of the market only pulled in just $68 million over the weekend, which is 45% lower than last weekend. However, while that's a huge drop-off, more importantly it is nearly 15% lower than the same weekend last year and theninth weakest weekend since 2000, and worst weekend in five years. Year-to-date, 2008 is now behind 2007 by just over 1% at $6.75 billion to $6.82 billion, but hopefully it will bounce back next weekend. I can't imagine it will be worse.More...
Summer's Stormy End
September 2nd, 2008
The Dark Knight did what few films in the past decade were able to do, lead the box office charts for four weeks in a row. NowTropic Thunder is one weekend away from tying that mark. However, it was able to win this weekend thanks to weakness in the new releases, which caused the box office to slump. From Friday to Sunday the industry brought in $98 million, which was 8% lower than last weekend and 17% lower than the same weekend last year. Over four days, $124 million was earned, which was again 17% lower than the same weekend last year. Year-to-date, 2008 fell further behind $6.67 billion to $6.73 billion, but that is still less than a 1% difference and certainly not an insurmountable lead.More...
Movie Website Reviews for Weekend of August 29, 2008
August 30th, 2008
Summer ends with a lot of second-tier releases. The only movie that is earning reviews that are above the horrible level isTraitor. It is also the only film with anOfficial Site that is worth recognizing with the Weekly Website Award.More...
Laborious Weekend for New Releases
August 28th, 2008
Labor Day long weekend is the final weekend of summer, but far from ending on a high note, it is arguably the slowest long weekend of the year. And this year it looks to be no different, at least in terms of box office numbers. In terms of new releases, well, that's a another story with four movies opening wide, and another expanding wide. It is very unlikely that they will all succeed; in fact, it is more likely that they will all bomb. This makes it very difficult to predict which new release will come out on top, if any do.More...

2008 Preview: August
August 1st, 2008
Summer usually comes screeching to a halt early in August, usually by the second weekend in August. However, this year we could have a $100 million hit opening each of the first three weeks. Or we could have no $100 million hits opening during the whole month. On the other end, there are a number of releases that probably looked good on paper, but failed to live up to their potential, not to mention a few that could not have looked good, even on paper. (I'm looking at you,Disaster Movie.)More...
