However, the number two movie, How to Train Your Dragon has slowed its momentum only slightly in week six, grabbing $10.8 million in revenue since Friday, bringing the total receipts to [...]

Freddy Krueger slashed his way to #1 at the box office Friday.  Nightmare On Elm Street was the #1 movie last night grossing $15.8 million. If these numbers hold up, the film will gross over $30 million this weekend alone. Warner Bros. Studio, which released this movie, must be jumping up and down with excitement, as [...]

Warner Bros. announced today that the sequel to The Dark Knight will be released in the [...]

Week five was another box office win for How to Train You Dragon. The animated 3D feature grabbed the top spot and brought in $15 million in revenue. But in actuality, it was a lackluster weekend for all the movies in theaters over the weekend.

The Back-up Plan, starring Jennifer Lopez did a mere $12.2 million [...]

It was neck and neck, but the Steve Carell-Tina Fey flick, Date Night managed to pull ahead of Clash of the Titans for the top spot at the box office. The romantic-comedy nailed an estimated $27.1 million, while Titans came in a close second with $26.8 million. But, Titans took a big 56-percent drop in [...]

Why, oh why would Sam Worthington need to shape up for his starring role in Clash of the Titans. The hunky actor was already a sight to behold in Avatar - even in blue.

Well, Worthington claims he was aiming toward endurance as well as brawn and turned to an industry specialist to recondition his [...]

Clash of the Titans pulled in an estimated $64,055,000 in receipts between Good Friday and Sunday. That makes the flick the highest movie debut for the Easter weekend. Certainly 3-D helped those numbers and it’s clear audiences can’t get enough of that medium, despite tough scrutiny from critics who were unimpressed with the conversion from [...]

How to Train Your Dragon breathed heavy fire over the weekend taking in an estimated $43.3 million between Friday and Sunday. Dragon was well reviewed by critics and apparently audiences took notice and lined up for the pic in numbers.
