EARLY FRIDAY BOX OFFICE: “2 Guns” Leads A Dim Weekend
Posted August 3, 2013 by Mitch Salem
According to preliminary numbers at Deadline, 2 GUNS (Universal/Emmett-Furla) claimed Friday with $9.8M (including $1.3M from Thursday night). If that number holds, it’ll be considerably below Denzel Washington’s last action opening for Safe House, which started with $13.6M, despite the presence this time of Mark Wahlberg, although it would be higher than Unstoppable ($8M) and […]

THURSDAY NIGHT BOX OFFICE: “2 Guns” Starts Small
Posted August 2, 2013 by Mitch Salem
2 GUNS (Universal), with a 10PM Thursday start, had an unexceptional $1.2M launch, on the low end of the summer. But while it was below White House Down‘s $1.35M, and that action movie went on to just a $24.9M weekend, it’s in the same neighborhood as Now You See Me ($1.5M) and The Heat […]

Posted August 2, 2013 by Mitch Salem
Except for Big Brother, the dog days of summer have arrived in a big way. CBS: BIG BROTHER held last week’s 2.5 rating. As usual, THE BIG BANG THEORY towered over the night’s other reruns, this week with a 2.1–a number many sitcoms would be happy to get with a first-run episode. ABC: WIPEOUT got […]

WEDNESDAY BOX OFFICE: “Smurfs 2” Starts With $5.2M
Posted August 1, 2013 by Mitch Salem
There haven’t been a lot of Wednesday openings this summer, and even fewer that are relevant to the start of THE SMURFS 2 (Sony), which began with $5.2M yesterday. This Is The End ($7.8M) was aimed at a completely different audience, while the colossal $35M start for Despicable Me 2 was part of a […]

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 7/31/13
Posted August 1, 2013 by Mitch Salem
As its scandal fades, some viewers may be departing Big Brother. CBS: After the all-publicity-is-good-publicity rise that BIG BROTHER got from widespread media attention to the horrifically bigoted remarks of some of its participants, the spotlight has gotten dimmer, and perhaps as a consequence, last night’s episode was down 0.3 from last week to […]
