After the bounty of riches from the past few weeks, the ratings bulletin is a bit on the light side this week with but a single wide release - and one quite far down the pipeline at that. Lucky for us the box office is still full of fireworks thanks the Shang-Chi - but not so much for Malignant. James Wan's return to horror didn't get much love from audiences, who may have been more inclined …

In the wake of the good news at least one film, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, actually moved a week forward rather than another delay signaling some welcome news as …

It's an avalanche of new and actually wide-reaching ratings this week from symbiotes to dueling knights to an animated sequel to a new kind of western. Lots to cover but first we have the box office to cover where - say it with me five times - Candyman took down Free Guy for the weekend win while some other films hit major milestones.
Going into the weekend, Candyman was predicted for around …

It was another wild ride at the box office with a lot more down than ups this time around. Ryan Reynolds continues to enjoy being on top as Free Guy once again took top honors. The only newcomer to break into the top five at all was an animated film about rescue puppies while the likes of Maggie Q, Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson (The Protégé), Rebecca Hall (The Night House) and Hugh …

The ratings bulletin is a bit lackluster, but once again we have some fireworks at the box office as Ryan Reynolds Free Guy came in well over expectations and Don't Breathe 2 also posted some good numbers. But it wasn't all good news as The Suicide Squad fell a precipitous 71.5% in its seconds weekend - a fate shared by many a big-name film and one that Free Guy hopes to avoid.
Originality …
