weekend box office

As early screenings of Star Wars: The Force Awakens have begun to hit the theaters, many of the showings are already sold out but there is still hope.

Not a whole lot of action this week at cinemas, with just one new movie coming out and it isn't even getting a full, 3,000-theater release. But it is about Elvis, sort of.

The summer movie seasons chugs along this weekend, with a slapstick comedy, our first horror entry and a kid-friendly adventure about a lost alien.

We have another comedy/action pairing of flicks hitting theaters this weekend. The first is a reunion of sorts between the director and co-star of the summer 2011 hit 'Bridesmaids,' and the second should sound oddly familiar to anyone who caught 'Olympus Has Fallen' back in March.

This stagnant post-Summer weekend was the perfect time and place for ‘The Possession,’ After all, September is where many movies go to die, so isn’t it an appropriate place for a horror movie? With no new competition, it wasn’t a question of whether or not the film was going to grab the number one spot, but how much it was going to make while doing so.
