Box Office Highs and Downers

-

Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher.

The top spot for this weekend was really only going to be either the current king of the box office Black Panther or the newcomer blockbuster from WB Tomb Raider, but who would come out on top.

Top 5

The Top five domestic earnings of the weekend are:
1. Black Panther -  27 Mil
2. Tomb Raider - 23.5 Mil
3.  I Can Only Imagine - 17 Mil
4. Wrinkle in Time - 16.5 Mil
5. Love, Simone - 11.5

Highs


Black Panther is still owning the box office after crossing the 1 billion mark last week and after being released over a month ago. Now if that ain't some legs I don't know what is. It looks like Marvel just gonna take all our money this year.

I Can Only Imagine more than doubled its budget making a cool 17 mil at the box office in its first weekend. This comes at no surprise as faith-based movies typically get huge support from their base audience. Not my cup of tea, but good for the movie to make that much money do what you do best.

Downers


Although Tomb Raider did make 23 mil this weekend, it has to be a downer that it couldn't pass Black Panther for the number one spot. They were hoping for a big splash at the box office with its new rebooted franchise and coming in second doesn't make waves at all. Maybe that sequel that they want to make so bad will do better.

Gringo should also feel bad after falling 80% from its opening weekend, while still being in a good number of theaters. hey, you make a movie about a weed pill and barely mention it, you deserve to drop to me.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-

"Netflix decided they might as well try their luck in the zombie movie franchise, and it might have worked" Cargo is the newest Netflix original movie directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and stars Martin Freeman as a man who is trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, until one day he is bitten and now has 48 hours to find a safe place for his young daughter before he turns into a zombie himself. The film takes an interesting and personal approach to the zombie apocalypse not really focusing on the zombies, but on martin freeman's character and his quest to find a safe place for his daughter. The premise sounds interesting enough, but could these directors make a fresh post-apocalyptic movie, or is this just another generic zombie movie that we will forget about? Well, let's see as I will give you all the highs and all the downers and overall tell you whether or not this movie is worth blazing and turning on Netflix for. Highs  Enter...

Overboard - Movie Review

-

"A remake of a movie that no one wanted, this should be good." Overboard directed by Gary Marshall stars Kurt Russell and..oh wait, sorry that's the wrong one. Overboard directed by Rob Greenberg stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez and is a remake of the 1987 film that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The original movie focuses on a rich spoiled asshole heiress who goes overboard and gets amnesia and is tricked by Russell's character into believing she is his wife as repayment for her being an asshole to him. The remake follows a pretty similar story, almost beat for beat, but this time decided to switch the roles of course, or else it wouldn't be original. No one was really calling for this remake, hell not a lot of people even liked the original. So I was not looking forward to this movie. But could this movie surprise me and maybe even be better than the original or should this remake be thrown overboard? Highs Cas...

Adrift (2018)- Movie Review

"An inspiring true story of a woman lost at sea being brought to the big screen, well the sea could have kept this story" Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormakur and loosely follows the real-life survival story of Tami Oldham, played by Shailene Woodley, and her lover Richard Sharp, played by Sam Claflin,  as they try to survive while stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm. It was inevitable that Hollywood would turn this interesting story of survival into a movie, but just cause her true story was interesting doesn't mean they could make a movie that would be the same.  Did Kormakur manage to turn Tami's story of survival at sea into a worth wild film, or should Hollywood have just left this idea adrift at sea? Well, that's what you got me for to tell you all the highs and all the downers that I got from this film and let you know whether this film is worth a hit or a pass that might just blow your movie-goi...
