Latest Box office Stories

The weather looks a little stormy.

While it was superhero movies that helped support the summer blockbuster season this year, it's horror movies that are proving to be the biggest success stories of 2017.

Will this sequel make more than the original?

After a lower-than-expected intake last weekend, Blade Runner 2049 may actually lose at the box office in its second weekend.

This is a big fall season for Warner Bros. given that they have three huge live-action releases out.

Thanks to a solid opening from Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Pennywise The Dancing Clown was banished to the #2 slot last weekend, but now director Andres Muschietti's IT has managed to float back to the top of the charts in its fourth three-day go-round.

Andres Muschietti's IT has been scaring off box office competition for the last couple of weeks, but it's time at the top of the charts has reached an end. The arrival of Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Golden Circle has vanquished Pennywise, and the sequel is the new king of the hill in late September.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Andres Muschietti's IT has continued its killer box office tear in its second week, and has been crowned king once again.

IT is about to dominate the box office for a second weekend. Go ahead, get excited.

The announced $117 million for IT's opening weekend was more than enough to crush the competition and shatter season and genre records, but here is the funny thing: the estimate was too conservative.

Despite the film's massive success, it looks like IT's total box office gross was affected by an unlikely source.

Anticipation for director Andres Muschietti's IT has been boiling for weeks now, but in the past three days audiences showed Hollywood just how hungry they were for this new Stephen King adaptation.

When box office estimates first emerged for director Andres Muschietti's IT back in late August, the numbers suggested that the opening weekend would yield numbers in the $50-60 million range.

The most recent Pirates of the Caribbean film probably wasn't one of the summer movies that you look back on now as being particularly memorable. However, as the film's producer points out, the movie was actually a much bigger deal than you think.

This Labor Day weekend is shaping up to be one for the record books... except, it's not the kind of history the studios want to make.

The summer movie season of 2017 certainly saw a handful of highlights - including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Wonder Woman and Dunkirk - but on the whole the last few months have been rather dreadful for the box office.

The Hitman's Bodyguard is one of only a small number of movies in summer 2017 to own the box office for two weekends in a row - but looking at the numbers that Hollywood put up in the last three days, there is nothing to be proud of here.

There is no more popular part of any superhero franchise than the origin story. And now, there is no origin story as popular on the big screen as that of Wonder Woman.

This weekend's big new releases were all about laughs, but one of the two titles managed to do a lot more business than the other.

Could IT be a late summer blockbuster hit? Read on to see the preliminary estimates for the film's opening weekend.
