It’s time! It’s finally time! Its finally time for a breath of fresh air at the box office, and boy, does it seem like we are about to get it. Four new wide releases will be entering the multiplex this weekend and they look likely (most of them) to do quite well. Perhaps more importantly […]
Carrying over from last weekend, it looks as though the box office slump is to continue. This time, however, the slump is for a good reason, that being the Superbowl airing this Sunday which most studios wouldn’t dare go up against. That is, most studios.
