THE SHOWBUZZDAILY REVIEW: “Gone”

Posted February 24, 2012 by Mitch Salem

SHOWBUZZDAILY EARLY WEEKEND BOXOFFICE REPORT – 6/16/12

Posted June 17, 2012 by Mitch Salem

Nothing much changed at the boxoffice between Friday and Saturday, and that was bad news for the weekend’s openings. According to preliminary numbers at Deadline, neither ROCK OF AGES (Warners) nor THAT’S MY BOY (Sony) had more than the most negligible Saturday bump, so unless one or both benefits appreciably from Father’s Day on Sunday […]
