Sara D. Anderson — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 10:00:20 +0000

Canada’s hyped up 2013 MuchMusic Awards kicked off tonight, June 16, and we’ve got the entire list of winners. So who won?

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Man of Steel' Soars to Number One

Jacob Hall — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:00:14 +0000

After months of feverish anticipation and a marketing campaign that left everyone at ScreenCrush practically speechless, 'Man of Steel' has arrived (amidst a flurry of mixed reviews) and taken its place at the top of the box office chart. Although the latest Superman film broke June box office records, it's yet to be seen whether or not the film is truly prepared for the long road ahead.

New Movies: 'Man of Steel,' 'This Is the End'

Chris Chaberski — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:00:49 +0000

It’s another big weekend at the cineplex, with the return of one of the most famous superheroes of all time, plus an end-of-the-world story about a bunch of stoners played by actors playing themselves. Should be fun whichever path you take. ‘Man of Steel’ The Superman story gets a Zack (‘Watchmen,’ ’300′) Snyder-ized reboot, as [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Purge' Wipes Out 'The Internship'

Jacob Hall — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:00:21 +0000

For the second week in a row, a David has taken down a Goliath. Last week, a little magician thriller handily derailed a Will Smith juggernaut and this week, the tiny horror film 'The Purge' took 'The Internship' down a peg or a dozen. We're one month in and this summer movie season has already given us plenty of surprises at the box office.

New Movies: 'The Hangover Part III,' 'Fast and Furious 6,' 'Epic'

Chris Chaberski — Sat, 25 May 2013 11:00:00 +0000

Wow. This is a monster weekend at the box office. While Memorial Day weekend is usually a good one for theaters, it’s rare to see three heavyweights like these all hitting cinemas at the same time. ‘The Hangover Part III’ Phil, Stu and Alan are back for round three, and you can be sure to [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Boldly Goes to Number One

Jacob Hall — Sun, 19 May 2013 18:23:15 +0000

When is a $70 million opening not a success? When its predecessor opened to $75 million four years ago. This is the predicament facing ‘Star Trek Into Darkness,’ which opened at number one at box office while being something of a disappointment. Film Weekend Per Screen 1 Star Trek Into Darkness $70,555,000 $18,241 $84,091,000 2 [...]

What Were Your Favorite Movies When You Were Growing Up?

Kurt Parsons — Tue, 07 May 2013 18:43:39 +0000

It was sad to hear today of the passing of Ray Harryhausen. His name might not be immediately familiar, but it's very likely that you've seen a movie or two of his. In fact, two of my all-time favorite movies from when I was a kid, 'Jason and the Argonauts' and 'Clash of the Titans,' were films that Ray Harryhausen brought to life. He wasn't the director of these movies, though. He was the effects artist that mastered combining live action with stop-motion animation.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Iron Man 3′ Makes All of the Money

Jacob Hall — Sun, 05 May 2013 17:34:41 +0000

Look, we all knew that 'Iron Man 3' was going to make a whole bunch of money and open at number one at the box office and kick the summer movie season off in style. The question was never "Is 'Iron Man 3' going to make any money?", the question was always "What absolutely absurd amount is 'Iron Man 3' going to make in its opening weekend?"

New Movies: 'Pain & Gain,' 'The Big Wedding'

Chris Chaberski — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:00:37 +0000

This week, we’ve got two new flicks that could hardly be more different in style, subject matter or personnel. The first is a Michael Bay-directed action thriller starring The Rock, the second a family comedy about a middle-aged divorced couple starring Diane Keaton. Take your pick! ‘Pain & Gain’ A trio of not-too-bright bodybuilders in [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oblivion' Obliterates the Competition

Jacob Hall — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:50:44 +0000

Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.
