Wow. This is a monster weekend at the box office. While Memorial Day weekend is usually a good one for theaters, it’s rare to see three heavyweights like these all hitting cinemas at the same time. ‘The Hangover Part III’ Phil, Stu and Alan are back for round three, and you can be sure to [...]

You've been hearing about it now for months, and it's finally here: the latest installment in Marvel's highly lucrative 'Avengers' film family, 'Iron Man 3.' Apparently all the other movies were a bit scared off, and considering the gigantic openings of the last two 'Iron Man' flicks, it's hard to blame them.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen' Rise to the Top

Staff Writer — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:41:42 +0000

You can't imagine two films more different than 'The Croods' and 'Olympus Has Fallen,' but right now the two of them sit on top of the box office chart, both temporarily linked by the fact that a bunch of people apparently wanted to see them this weekend. It's the first time in forever that two films have opened to over $30 million at the same time...but it wasn't golden for all of the new releases.

Staff Writer — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:30:42 +0000

New Movies: 'Oz the Great and Powerful,' 'Dead Man Down'

Staff Writer — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 12:50:57 +0000

The recent 'Amazing Spider-Man' and the upcoming 'Man of Steel' seem to get all the attention regarding studios' attempt to "reboot" franchises, but that's pretty much the same thing as what's going on with 'Oz the Great and Powerful.' If it succeeds at the box office, we may end up with a new version of 'The Wizard of Oz' at some point very soon, even though the producers have said that's not their goal.

Also opening this week at our local Marcus Theatres is a dark tale of blackmail and revenge.

It's Super Bowl weekend, traditionally not a huge one at theaters, but this weekend sees three new films all going for different audiences at our local Marcus Theatres.

New to our local Marcus Theatres this week: a cops-and-corruption thriller, Ah-nuld's return to his roots and a freaky-looking horror piece about—what else?—creepy kids. A little light on the comedy and family fare, perhaps, but an intriguing mix nonetheless.
