Louis Peitzman · 06/17/12 01:30PMYep, Madagascar 3 Outgrossed Prometheus
Louis Peitzman · 06/10/12 01:24PMA 3D sci-fi epic written by Damon Lindelof and directed by Ridley Scott, complete with tie-in to the iconic Alien franchise — you'd think Prometheus would have easily taken the box office this weekend. And yes, it did well, but in the end, it couldn't keep up with Dreamworks' CGI talking animals in Madagascar 3.

Louis Peitzman · 06/03/12 03:54PMMen in Black III Finally Knocks The Avengers Down a Peg
Louis Peitzman · 05/27/12 12:09PMBig news: The Avengers is not the top movie at the box office this weekend. That's right — someone else finally claimed the No. 1 spot. And OK, it was Men in Black III, which isn't very good, and The Avengers still broke $500 million domestically, but still. Did anyone else think The Avengers was going to continue its box office dominance forever?
Is Taylor Kitsch's Blockbuster Movie Career Already Over?
Rich Juzwiak · 05/21/12 10:54AM2012: The year that Hollywood took a chance on Taylor Kitsch and failed miserably. John Carter cost an estimated $250 in production alone and returned about $72 million domestically since its March 9 release. Battleship opened this past weekend to the lowest domestic opening numbers ever for a film with a budget with $200 million or above: $25.3 million. The film cost an estimated $209 million to make.
The Avengers Sunk Your Battleship
Louis Peitzman · 05/20/12 03:12PMStill in the number one spot this week, The Avengers earned another $55.1 million, well outperforming Battleship, which took in a measly $25.3 million. That might not sound too bad, but given Battleship's budget, it's pretty embarrassing. In fact, this is the worst domestic opening ever for a film with a budget of at least $200 million.
The Avengers Broke the $1 Billion Mark
Louis Peitzman · 05/13/12 02:51PMA million dollars isn't cool. You know what— oh, whatever, you know the rest. The Avengers continues to dominate the box office, both domestic and international. This weekend, the superhero movie earned $103.2 million here and another $95.4 million overseas. Add that to the money it's already made, and yep, we've crossed the $1 billion line.
File Under 'Duh': The Avengers Is the Second Biggest Friday Opening of All Time
Louis Peitzman · 05/05/12 03:37PMFor weeks, I've been reminding you all that The Avengers is on the horizon — it doesn't take a box office psychic to realize a film of this magnitude will do well. And wouldn't you know, The Avengers' Friday take was $80.5 million, making it the second biggest Friday opening of all time. (Number one remains Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, because wizards are cooler than superheroes, clearly.)

Louis Peitzman · 04/22/12 03:42PMFor the first time in a month, The Hunger Games is not the number one movie this weekend. That spot belongs to Think Like a Man, an ensemble romantic comedy based on a Steve Harvey self-help book. But the dystopian teen thriller wasn't even number two — instead, the charm of Zac Efron and the inexplicable appeal of Nicholas Sparks launched The Lucky One into second place.
