Victor Frankenstein has one of the worst opening weekends of all-time

November 30, 2015 by Luke Owen

There have been a few big name films that have bombed at the box office this year, including Terminator: Genisys, Crimson Peak, American Ultra, Pan, Pixels and Mortdecai, but Victor Frankenstein has topped the lot.

Universal has pulled Jem and the Holograms from theatres following dismal box office performance

November 9, 2015 by Luke Owen

Despite a very meager $5 million budget, Universal were putting a lot of promotion and hype behind their big screen adaptation of Jem and the Holograms. But after two very poor weeks at the domestic box office, the studio has now pulled the plug. The film opened to a sea of negative reviews and a mere $1.3 million […]

Pan bombs at the US box office with just $15 million

October 12, 2015 by Luke Owen

The big budget telling of Peter Pan’s origins was set to be a summer release, but re-shoots meant it was pushed back to October – and this decision has not paid off. Released in over 3,000 screens, Pan only managed to pull in $15.3 million on its opening weekend. The Joe Wright directed feature cost […]

xXx: Return of Xander Cage blows up the box office with $70 million worldwide

January 23, 2017 by Luke Owen

It seems like it was a worthwhile return, as Vin Diesel’s xXx: Return of Xander Cage had a fairly good weekend at the box office. The film delivered as expected domestically, earning $20 million from 3,500 screens to take second place behind Split. In terms of the franchise, it’s not exactly the $40 million opening […]
