Box Office Highs and Downers

-

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

This weekend we did get some shakeup in the top for a change with the new movies coming to box office, including a dethroning of a king. Which movies impressed and which ones blew it.

Box Office Results(Top five only U.S domestic)

1.Pacific Rim: Uprising- 28 mil
2. Black Panther- 16.6 mil
3. I can only imagine 13.8 Mil
4. Sherlock Gnomes 10.6 Mil
5. Tomb Raider- 10.4 Mil

Highs 

Pacific Rim: Uprising


Finally, a movie has come to take the number one spot away from Black Panther. Pacific Rim did okay in its first weekend taking the number one spot domestically with 28 mil, but we all know that this movie is gonna make its money from the overseas market (where it made back its budget already.)  I enjoyed the mo so I must say it's a welcome sight for me worldwide, but this movie might also appear again.

Unsane


Although it didn't finish in the top 5, nor the top 10, still did pretty well for the small budget it had. making 3 mil off a 1 mil budget did its job in proving that an iPhone movie can make millions at the box office.

Black Panther


All good things must come to an end as the black panther is no longer number 1. Its been a fun ride but hey how many movies can say that they are at number 2 at the box office after their 6th weekend. well done king.

Downers 

Sherlock Gnomes

Being the only animated children's movie this weekend you'd expect this movie to be doing gangbusters this weekend like the most animated movie do, Nope. Barely making the top five Sherlock Gnomes finished a lot lower than expected. I don't blame the people though, I couldn't even drag myself to review this movie.

Tomb Raider

 A movie I completely forgot was still in theaters, fell off by 55% from its last week performance almost falling out of the top 5 certainly not making any waves at the box. For a movie only in its second weekend, these results show how bland this movie is, and doesn't look too good for a future franchise.

Pacific Rim: Uprising (domestic performance)

Pacific Rim makes it as a downer as well due to the poor performances it put up this weekend. Yes, it did make 28 mil. Yes, it was the number one movie domestically, but come on only 28 mil. A movie with a high budget like this one needs to be making way more than that domestically to be considered a success here.Good thing it did so well overseas.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-
Image
"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...
