Is Lady Gaga the new Cher?
What do Diana Ross, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, and Lady Gaga have in common? They are four singers who were nominated for an Academy Award, then never nominated again. At least so far.

Final Numbers: SPACE JAM: A NEW LEGACY
After 25 years of waiting, we finally have the follow-up to the 1996 box office hit SPACE JAM. Of course, the wait was largely due to the fact that we didn’t have a basketball star that matched the talent of Michael Jordan. We now have that with Lebron James. James had a very charismatic acting […]
Can REMINISCENCE break through the late August doldrums?
The end of August truly is sad. Vacations are over, kids go back to school, superheroes have saved the day, and no one goes to the theater.

Is $80M a good number for BLACK WIDOW?
Making sense of the box office It was reported earlier today that BLACK WIDOW grossed an estimated $80M in theaters this weekend, breaking the pandemic-era record of $70M set by F9 two weeks ago. These seem like big numbers, but is there a way to know for sure? Can we figure out what these numbers […]

Trailer Callback: June 29 – July 1
Clifford is top dog. The biggest single event in a film’s marketing campaign is the release of a trailer. Usually, each spot has a lifecycle of about a week.
