Weekend Box Office Report: Playing Catch-Up With ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
Since the box office numbers from last week were not formally released until after the weekend passed, we need to play a quick game of catch-up with ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ The third and final of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies opened to $160 million, a number that is staggering, but not record breaking. Did it even stand a chance of breaking the $200 million mark and challenging ‘The Avengers‘
New Movie Releases — ‘The Watch’ and ‘Step Up: Revolution’
A comical war against aliens, or a dramatic dance war against the one-percent? Pick your cinematic poison, because those are the plotlines of the two new movies opening at our local Marcus Theatres this weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift’ Wins the Weekend, but is it a Winner?
Consider this weekend a study of three animation companies. Temporarily forget about ‘The Amazing Spider-Man‘ and ‘Ted‘ and ‘Moonrise Kingdom.’ What do the box office numbers of ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift,’ ‘Brave‘ and ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ tell us about their respective studios? ‘Ice Age’ won the weekend, but is it actually a winner?

A single new movie opens at our local Marcus Theatres this weekend, but with a whole cavalcade of stars, you may feel like you’re getting several flicks all rolled into one.
New Movie Releases – ‘Magic Mike,’ ‘People Like Us,’ ‘Ted’ and ‘Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection’
Male strippers, heartwarming family fare, talking teddy bears and men in drag. No, that’s not the set-up for a joke — those are what you’ll see in the four new movies that hit our local Marcus Theatres this weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Brave’ Plays Big
When it comes to winning big at the box office, never bet against Pixar. ‘Brave‘ is not only the acclaimed animation studio’s thirteenth film, it is their thirteenth film to open at number one at the box office. It’s a track record that just about everyone else in Hollywood would kill for.
New Movie Releases — ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,’ ‘Brave’ and ‘Seeking a Friend for the End of the World’

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Madagascar 3′ and ‘Prometheus’ Remain Supreme
For those of us who follow the box office, this weekend was a case of deja vu. Once again, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ headlined the top ten and once again, ‘Prometheus‘ snatched the number two spot. Both films managed to keep their momentum despite the opening of two new releases starring two of the biggest movie stars in the world. That’s good news if you’re ‘Madagascar 3′ or ‘Prometheu
New Movie Releases — ‘Rock of Ages’ and ‘That’s My Boy’
Fans of 1980s music and lovers of inane comedy will both be well-served by this weekend’s new movie offerings at our local Marcus Theatres.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Madagascar 3′ vs ‘Prometheus’
It’s difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ and ‘Prometheus‘ both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.

Sci-fi adventure or family-friendly animated fun? Take your pick — those are the new offerings at our local Marcus Theatres weekend.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Conquers
The box office can be a funny thing. Last weekend, ‘Men in Black 3‘ made $55 million and was considered a disappointment. This weekend, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ pulled in $56 million and it’s considered a roaring success. As bizarre as that sounds, it all makes sense when you look at the details.
