Weekend projections: Wild Robot gathers steam through the weekend for strong $35-million debut
September 29th, 2024
-2-News.jpg)
The Wild Robot is powering through the weekend to record a feisty $35 million, and an easy win at the box office. After slightly disappointing preview numbers, the film’s audience grew by more than 50% from Friday to Saturday (not counting those Thursday previews as part of Friday’s box office total), and Universal expects it to decline 33% on Saturday. Stellar reviews are clearly driving good word of mouth, and it has earned enough on opening weekend to stay in theaters for an extended run.

December 15th, 2012
We are getting closer and closer to Christmas and we are getting to the crunch time for gift shopping. After checking out first run releases and franchise box sets in Part I and TV on DVD releases in Part II, this week we look at limited releases, classics, and foreign films. Some are pretty obvious choices, as we had a few limited releases that broke into the mainstream during their theatrical releases, but there are also a few more films that slipped beneath the radar the last time around. The biggest of these is...
