THURSDAY NIGHT BOX OFFICE: “Elysium” Starts Slow
ELYSIUM (Sony) got off to a very moderate start with $1.7M from 10PM Thursday night shows. That’s better than the Thursday nights for 2 Guns ($1.2M) and White House Down ($1.35M), but nowhere near the $3.6M for P...

UPDATED Weekend Box Office: “The Wolverine” Falls Some More
On Sunday mornings, the devout go to church, and movie studios lie. (There’s not much overlap between the two groups.) The studios lie (or fudge, if you’re sensitive about the L Word), fundamentally, beca...
BEHIND THE WEEKEND BOX OFFICE – 7/28/13
OPENINGS: Two smart studio decisions bailed out what could have been a scary opening weekend for THE WOLVERINE (20th). Fox kept the budget relatively low for its expensive genre, just $250M or so including worldwid...
