A good night for some veteran shows. CBS: UNDERCOVER BOSS started things off nicely, up 0.1 to 1.7, and the momentum continued, as HAWAII 5-0 and BLUE BLOODS both rose 0.2, to 1.7 and 1.6 respectively. ABC: LAST MAN STANDING tied its best outing of the season, up 0.1 to 1.5, and THE NEIGHBORS […]
Based on Friday’s grosses, weekend #5 of 2014 looks like $74 million for the top 12 films Friday-Sunday, even worse than the usual pace for a Super Bowl weekend. Opening at 2,809 theaters Friday, That Awkward Moment from Focus/Universal grossed a small $3.9 million Friday, putting the film on track for a $10.0 million opening weekend (slightly below […]
