Hollywood tries to cultivate new young action stars. But 60-somethings Liam & Denzel are the ones who bring $$$ in.

Still somewhat disappointing for Selma. But just fantastic for Taken 3. 2015 releases have over performed so far (Selma is 2014). At least this year, January isn't completely boring at the box office!

Woman In Black - 15/30

Taken 3 - 40/107

Selma - 11/85

Paddington - 25/80

Blackhat - 15/50

American Sniper - 40/130

Mortdecai - 10/27

Boy Next Door - 12/25

Project Almanac - 18/45

Not a bad Jamuary IMO.

[kayumanggi]

Disappointing nationwide expansion for #Selma. Mediocre $5140 avg, -39% vs Butler, -44% vs 42. But next wknd shd be big.

Taken is immune to football. The other two were as well.

Taken is immune to football. The other two were as well.

Liam Neeson's particular set of skills is immune to everything 

[John Marston]

Hope Hobbit now can at least reach 260

[Heat Vision]

Big Hero 6 deserves a lot more. Shame.

[John Marston]

That's a really strong opening for Taken 2. It could have easily collapsed like something like The Hangover 3. The terrific trailer probably helped it a lot

FOX did a fantastic job marketing this thing. Something WB failed to do with Hangover 3. Also, it wasn't opening against F&F6. That helps.
