In a battle of reality competitions (and that’s not even including the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION), NBC came out on top. NBC: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT had the highest number of the night with a 2.5, and an 8PM rerun scored a 1.4. The Peacock continued to lead Convention coverage with a preliminary 1.3. CBS: BIG BROTHER […]
Here are the weekend sports ratings for Saturday and Sunday July 8-9, 2017. Eligible programs include sporting events on broadcast and cable networks (minimum audience size 300K P2+).

This weekend’s boxoffice is looking stronger than last week’s–but that’s not saying very much. According to preliminary numbers at Deadline, RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION (Screen Gems/Sony) owned Friday with $8.8M. That’s lower than the opening days for the last several Resident Evil installments ($10.7M/$9.6M/$9.2M for the last 3), and should mean a $22M opening weekend […]

A touch of new blood (so to speak) hit multiplexes with the Thursday night arrival of THE WOMAN IN BLACK 2: ANGEL OF DEATH (Relativity). Its $1.5M result was fairly high for such a low-budget horror item, but then again few if any movies have had their Thursday night screenings as the only new […]
We’re continuing our week-long look at the hour-by-hour battles that will enliven the new network TV season. Today it’s the turn of Tuesday, a night notable for its Invasion of the Sitcoms. 8PM: THE VOICE RESULTS (NBC) vs. DANCING WITH THE STARS RESULTS (ABC) vs. NCIS (CBS) vs RAISING HOPE/BEN & KATE (FOX)– This […]
Note: because last Friday was part of a holiday weekend, the week-to-week declines for holdovers are unusually heavy. That will modify over the course of the weekend, since the holiday box office was already tailing off by last Friday. TAKEN 3 (Europa/20th) had no problem taking over the box office reins from the holiday […]
A genuine changing of the guard. NBC: REVOLUTION slipped a bit last night (to 3.2), but it commandingly beat up both CBS and ABC, and is looking like a true hit, at least in the short term. THE VOICE, of course, provided a dominating 4.5 lead-in that didn’t hurt. CBS: This was supposed to be […]
