Both the ratings board and the box office were in sleepy mode as January came to a close. With no new wide releases, the box office looked e.xactly the same - just with lesser returns - leading to one of the lowest-grossing weekends in recent memory. Meanwhile, with just a single new wide release across the MPAA Bulletin - that is likewise a bit of a yawner. We're just going to have to see if …

At least this week we have a decent update from the MPAA Ratings Board and it looks like it's all action on the menu this time around. Besides that, Spider-Man may have taken a week off from being on top but decided that's where he likes it best and took back the crown as it continues to move up some all-time charts. It comes as little surprise that both newcomers made little waves and I would …

Nothing much on the MPAA Rating front this week so once again the main attention is on the box office. Scream was finally able to dethrone the record-breaking web slinger, thanks to a deluge of younger audiences who were willing to check out this smart update the horror franchise. Don't feel too bad for Spidey and crew, however, as even in second place, the film continued to crawl up the …

It looks like the MPAA Ratings board is getting back into the swing of things, bringing us the joy of two major titles this week. On the box office side of things, Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to climb the record charts as animated sequel Sing 2 also crosses a major milestone. Things weren't so bright for The 355, as the female-driven action/spy film fell below expectations and didn't start …

We're ringing in the New Year much like the last - with a small update from the MPAA and Spider-Man: No Way Home continuing to absolutely crush the box office. And I have a feeling, at least box-office wise, that we're going to be experiencing a lot of deja vu into this new year for at least a few weeks to come, especially as seeing that Morbius - which was going to be the next big film - has …
