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.

Unsane Movie Review

The horror thriller that was shot completely on an iPhone, hopefully, it's not as cheap as it looks. Unsane is the latest movie by Steven Soderbergh that was shot completely on an iPhone camera (and probably some software we cant afford). The movie Stars Claire Foy as Sawyer who is paranoid that her stalker is still following her, but when she tries to get help get locked into a mental institute, now if you don't need a blunt after a day like that.  Could you tell it was on an iPhone? I mean it was shot on an iPhone 7 plus, of course, you can tell it was shot on an iPhone. as soon as I saw the trailer I could tell that it was just someone shooting on the iPhone it looks like a straight to CW film, but it was impressive how good Soderbergh could make it work though. I can't even get a good 30 second snap from my iPhone, but his ass can make a feature film and get it nationally released with his.  If only I had that kinda talent, but anyways, Soghher made a big de

"Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher in this week's highs and downers" Box Office Top 5 (Domestic US Totals) 1. A Quiet Place- 50 Mil 2. Ready Player One - 25 Mil 3. Blockers- 21.4 Mil 4.  Black Panther- 8.4 Mil 5. I Can Only Imagine- 8.3 Mil (For full results visit  Box Office Mojo ) Highs  A Quiet Place  No surprise as one of the best films of the year has taken the number one spot with a whopping 50 mil during its opening weekend, not bad for a borderline silent film. The movie had everything you could ask for in a horror film great story, great characters, and pretty good scares. This film is definitely a high you need to experience, but remember to stay quiet. Blockers For a comedy that I didn't think was gonna be too funny, it exceeded my expectations and did pretty good for itself in the box office making 21.4 mil its opening weekend against some pretty good movies. I personally liked the

"All of this week's trailers rolled into one joint" Every week we get flooded with trailer, some good and some bad.  Its hard to keep up with all of them, so we thought we'd help you out by at least letting you see the ones worth watching. Here are 5 of the latest most talked about trailers that dropped this past week all rolled up into one joint. The Happy Time Murders  Release Date: August 17,2018 The Happy Time Murders stars Melissa McCarthy as a police officer who is tasked to solve a string of puppet murders, who are basically a second class race. Although this movie features puppets it is definitely not something you want to take your kids to see. I didn't really have much interest in this movie until I saw this trailer and couldnt stop laughing. it is just, the first trailer, but if this is what we can expect I think ill have a good time getting blazed and going to see this movie.  Mowgli  Release: October 19, 2018 No, I'
