It is a pretty good week on the home market with a few releases worth picking up.The biggest of these is Central Intelligence, but while it is worth picking up, it isnt a contender for Pick of the Week.There are some smaller releases that were up for that title, including The Shallows, An American Werewolf in London and The Innocents.However, in the end, I went with Captain America Civil War.The Blu ray screener arrived late, and I held off on naming it Pick of the Week when it came out for that very reason.More.

July 1. 9th, 2.Caf Society earned first place on the theater average chart with an average of 7.This is not only the best of the weekend, it is the best of the year so far, topping the previous champ, Captain America Civil War, which had an average of 4.Second place went to Hillarys America The Secret History of the Democratic Party with an average of 2.The film fell 5. 0 from Friday to Saturday.Thats devastating.We will see if this is an anomaly or a portent when we get this coming weekends results.Ghostbusters and The Secret Life of Pets were neck and neck with averages of 1.More. July 1. 6th, 2.Ghostbusters topped the box office chart on Friday with 1.This is the best opening day for the director, Paul Feig, topping his previous champ, The Heat by 2.If this film has the same internal multiplier as The Heat, then it will earn 4.This seems a little high, but not out of the question.Ghostbusters reviews are better than The Heats reviews were, although both films earned B from Cinema.Score surveys. On the other hand, Ghostbusters is a remake, so that tends to make the movie more front loaded.Look for an opening weekend of 4.This is right on the edge between financial success and failure.The film will need help internationally in order to break even, but it is way too soon to know if that will happen.More. July 1. 0th, 2.The Secret Life of Pets is storming to a massive opening weekend at the box office, with Universal projecting a 1.Illumination Entertainment animated film.Thats just shy of the 1.Minions this weekend last year, and the best opening ever by a non sequel or spin off animated film.This performance is particularly significant for Illumination, because its their first blockbuster from outside the Despicable Me universe.More. July 7th, 2.It should be a good weekend at the box office, at least for The Secret Life of Pets.The film is earning great reviews and should become the biggest hit of the month.There is one downside the competition.There are a lot of options for families among the films currently in theaters, plus another movie from a long running franchise opening soon.Also opening this week is Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, which is an R rated comedy hoping to survive in the counter programming role.It could become a midlevel hit, or it could fail to open in the top five.This weekend last year, Minions opened with 1.The Secret Life of Pets is not going to top that.More. July 3rd, 2.Three new movies entered the race for box office glory this July 4 weekend.One, The BFG, fell at the first hurdle.One of the other two, The Legend of Tarzan is disappointing, but not disastrous.The third, The Purge Election Year, won the night on Friday and is headed to a great debut.But, in the end, none were a match for the third weekend of Finding Dory.More. June 2. 1st, 2.In our prediction column, I said I wanted the top two films to earn a combined total of 1.Finding Dorys and Central Intelligences combined opening weekend was 1.The overall box office was 5.However, this was still 6.Finding Dory did do better than either Jurassic World or Inside Out individually, but couldnt compete with their combined totals.That said, 2. 01.More. June 1. 6th, 2.This weekend should be the best weekend in June, led by Finding Dory.Finding Dory should easily be the biggest hit of the month, one of the biggest hits of the year, and the fastest opening film in Pixars history.On the other hand, Central Intelligence is just hoping for a solid second place opening in its role as counter programming.If it hits 3. 0 million, then the studio will be very happy.This weekend last year, Jurassic World led the way with 1.Inside Out opened in second place with 9.I just hope they keep it close.I will be happy if Finding Dory and Central Intelligence earned a combined 1.More. June 9th, 2.If this weekend is as bad as some fear it will be, it could begin to cause a panic among some studio executives.Two of the three wide releases are sequels and there are some who expect both to fail to match their predecessors by significant margins.If this happens, we will have six sequels failing to match expectations during a four week stretch.Worse still, there are more than six additional sequels left to open before the end of summer.Finding Dory seems safe, but the rest could flop as well.The Conjuring 2 The Enfield Poltergeist should come out on top at the box office, but with less than the original made.
