It's harder for mods to update titles now on mobile, will need someone on desktop to do that.

I already updated them a short while ago.

The Martian returns to #1 in its fourth weekend.

Rock the Kasbah actually got lucky this weekend. How often can you say of a film that it's one of the five worst openers of all time but not even the worst that weekend?

My wife and I wanted to go see a movie today. Bored and nothing to do. We decided to see Rock the Kasbah. And Boy, did I make a huge mistake. That movie was FUCKING terrible. Competition is heating up for worst movie of the year. Between it and Fant4stic. It was by FAR one of the worst movies I've seen the last 2-3 years. It was worst then Paranormal Activity 6 which we saw a few days ago. Avoid this movie! Don't get fucked out of your money.

Next weekend we will be saying that about Burnt compared to Scout.

Sad to see a director as good as Levinson sink so low. Is it at least better than Envy ?

Still can't get over how shit Jobs did. It opened wide worse the Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and Phat Girlz. Urban art films should just stay in the big cities and forget about the rest of country for theatrical. This should be VOD by Christmas. No need to release wide. Or push to Netflix within 3 months of LA/NY premiere.

Steve Jobs wasn't just a "urban art film", it's being pushed for Oscars, hence why it went wide.

Paranormal Activity more than doubled The Green Inferno in the same amount of screens. Does Scouts vs Zombies has more interest around it than The Green Inferno? 

Burnt and Our Brand is Crisis will surely get 2500+ theaters each, IMO. Lets see what can the respective stars of each movie do when they are the only things marketing teams can sell about those movies to put buts in the seats.

The days when a star could make a completely unappealing movie do at least decent are over. I'm not saying there's no such thing as draw power anymore, but there is no such thing as draw power in unappealing movies anymore.

I forgot Scouts vs Zombies is a thing.  America do me proud and give this a Jem/Kasbah opening

I got that trailer at Crimson Peak and was kind of in awe.

My first reaction after seeing the trailer was to kill it in cold blood.

And this will be me next week when it fails to do 2M on his DOM debut.

Followed by Peanuts/Spectre combining for $140 million+ as a result of a sub-$80 million Oct 30th weekend. I really think both of those films picked the PERFECT weekend to debut. 2 straight weeks of nothing and Martian/HT2 near the end of their runs. Both should perform better than expected as the first major/must-see films in a month. 

I think November/December's broadly appealing films should benefit greatly from the underperformance of most October releases this year. However, I wouldn't be surprised if only 6-8 films do $100 million+ DOM with 5 of them doing $200 million+ DOM  and 4 of them doing $300 million+ DOM (with Spectre obviously doing $300-320 million if it does make it)

Spectre won't be a 300M grosser.

Woah it was super dead tonight. But a big group of guys came in and all bought Star Wars tickets together, all the while saying "I can't believe this is happening... I'm buying tickets for Star Wars Episode 7!" Then they asked me to take their picture. Let the hype begin!

[DAJK]

Oh and I also just realized how big of a worldwide hit The Intern is turning into! Very deserving movie!

[Frozen]

I saw Goosebumps tonight. There was a screaming baby that never stopped the whole movie. But I didn't like it that much, ski wasn't as annoyed as I should have been.
