Though it’s supposed to be weekly, it’s the first weekly movie podcast in months. I finally have had time to do one and this time around it’s a bit longer than the average weekly movie podcast. Not only do I go over last week’s box office but I take a look at the previous week as well. The verdict is that nothing is performing all that well (even Shrek is underperforming). I set up this week’s new movies but I’m not expecting the theatres to be that packed this weekend (even though I’m very curious to see how The A-Team will perform).
For the record, remakes are usually junk.
Continue reading for the top five charts from last week’s box office as well as the previous week (all data coming from www.the-numbers.com). There’s also a list of all the movies coming out this weekend in theatres and the movies that were released for the home video market this week (with trailers where available).
Check back Friday for this week’s Movie Newsletter where I’ll take a more in-depth look at the summer situation and the films that are still queued up for release over the next couple of months. As well, I take a look at piracy in film and the new proposed law here in Canada for downloading and uploading media that may have repercussions around the globe.
