Chris Kavan - wrote on 10/27/21 at 12:08 PM CT
Another short and sweet bulletin again, with a single film to discuss but the box office continues to provide plenty of fireworks and it was a good weekend - especially for Timothée Chalamet. Overall, at least the outlook looks better for theaters as we enter a busy fall period.
There was a lot riding on Denis Villeneuve's Dune this weekend. After Bladerunner 2049 proved to be a letdown, …

It's a meager update for the ratings bulleting this week, but at least it's a big film. Meanwhile, the box office continues to look strong thanks to Halloween Kills but it turns out deep, emotional historical epics aren't as good of draws these days.
Halloween Kills certainly did so at the box office, slashing its way to a $49.4 million opening. That was enough for the overall box office to …

The ratings bulletin is short but still has a couple of films to cover, one a heartfelt tribute to youth the other a film where a bunch of grown men embarrass and injure themselves for your entertainment. On the box office front Daniel Craig's last outing as 007 opened with a bang - but a somewhat lighter bang than was expected and it might mean trouble ahead for the rest of month's …

A huge amount of ratings this week but just a tiny bit worth mentioning - and both are streaming this time. But the box office continues to provide plenty worth talking about as Venom: Let There Be Carnage made a huge splash on the domestic front while 007 in No Time to Die did the same thing overseas - both pointing to a resurgent box office this fall.
On the box office front a new 2021 …
