Box Office: Highs and Downers- Avengers, A Quiet Place

-

"Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher in this week's highs and downers"


This was probably one of the easiest races for number one we have had in awhile, with Avengers Infinity War finally hitting theaters, we knew it would do gangbusters at the box office.  The real question for this weekend was how well will it do, and what movie came in second behind it.

Results

1. Avengers: Infinity War - 250 Mil 
2. A Quiet Place - 10.6 Mil
3. I Feel Pretty - 8.1 Mil
4. Rampage - 7.1 Mil
5. Black Panther- 4.3 Mil

Highs 

Avengers: Infinity War



No surprise here, Thanos and the Avengers destroyed not only the MCU but also the box office this weekend making a whopping 250 Mil in its first weekend, taking the number 1 spot for the largest domestic opening in history over Star Wars: A Force Awakens. It also managed to break the worldwide record as well with 630 mil destroying the old record.  This has been a movie some people have been waiting 10 years to play out, and from these box office results and reviews, it seems it was well worth the wait. This was probably the best high experience i had in the theater so far this year. Now we are all stuck wishing we had that time stone to go into the future and see the next one.   

A Quiet Place 

I Word of mouth has been great for this movie which has allowed it to stay at number two with 10.6 Mil even with Avengers coming out. The theater experience you get from this movie alone is a reason to go see it on the big screen. I have never been in a theater that was as quiet as the one when I went to see this. It's a good thing the fans can keep quiet about this movie, as it keeps making money 


Downers 

Any Other Movie in Theaters 

The big downer for the Weekend is any movie that had the hard task of being in theaters when the Avengers came out. Rampage, I Feel Pretty and other movies knew it needs to move up early just to avoid the box office monster in Avengers and rightfully so as the rest of the movies numbers fell. Its hard to picture these movies making any more big money, but at least they got their money early on.

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...
