Clint Eastwood's JUROR #2 smells like it could be a box office success. Instead it's being dumped by Warner Bros. Why? I tried to make sense of it for Slash Film.

Both WICKED and GLADIATOR II are tracking for huge box office debuts. Is this Thanksgiving going to give us Barbenheimer part 2? I break it down for Slash Film.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA was unquestionably a box office disappointment. It also, apparently, still turned a profit, even if it was a very tiny profit (relatively speaking). I tried to make it make sense for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

Is it an outright flop? No. That said, VENOM: THE LAST DANCE disappointed at the box office and, like WARCRAFT, will rely largely on overseas grosses to become profitible. So, what happened here? I did my best to break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

The VENOM movies have been shockingly reliable box office draws. So, can THE LAST DANCE help make up for the massive disappointment that was JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX? I break it down for Slash Film.

I took a deep look at TERRIFIER 3 and its surprise trip to the top of the box office. Genuinely wild stuff here. How did Damien Leone's unrated, ultra-gory slasher make nearly $19 million with a tiny marketing budget? I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

TERRIFIER 3 topped the box office with more than $18 million. Story of the year for me. An unrated, ultra gory slasher that cost nothing to make (by Hollywood standards) demolishing a $200 million comic book blockbuster. Even if you hate horror, this is worth celebrating.

In this week's Tales from the Box Office for Slash Film, I look back at Wes Craven's NEW NIGHTMARE 30 years later. Not just a great movie, but without it, SCREAM might not exist. At least not as we know it.

[ryanscottwrites]

TERRIFIER 3 has a real shot to top the box office this weekend over JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX. This is a battle nobody expected to be talking about a couple weeks ago. Now? It could be the box office story of the year. Insanity. I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX is nothing shy of a commercial disaster. It can't be spun any other way. It's a shocker for a sequel to a box office behemoth. What went wrong? I did my best to make sense of it for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

MEGALOPOLIS flopped at the box office. It was always going to, and it can't be judged as other blockbusters would be judged because it's a wholly unique beast. I break down the film's opening weekend for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

In this week's Tales from the Box Office for Slash Film, I look back at JOKER five years later. With JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX around the corner, it's worth remembering why this movie felt unique - a little dangerous even - at the time.

[ryanscottwrites]

In this week's Tales from the Box Office for Slash Film, I look back at THE MAZE RUNNER in honor of its 10th anniversary. What Wes Ball did with the budget he had is nothing shy of incredible. We should put more respect on his name.

[ryanscottwrites]

BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE made an estimated $110 million on its opening weekend at the box office. Tim Burton is back in a big, bad way. I took a deeper look at the sequel's success for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

THE CROW remake spent more than a decade in development hell before finally hitting theaters over the weekend only to bomb at the box office. So, WTF happened here? I break it down for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

ALIEN: ROMULUS made $108 million worldwide on its opening weekend. It's an instant R-rated success at the box office for Disney, which is still odd to say. What went right? I break down the film's big opening weekend for Slash Film.

[ryanscottwrites]

In this week's Tales from the Box Office for Slash Film, I look back at the record-breaking success of 2016's DEADPOOL as we stare down the barrel of DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, which itself figures to be a big record breaker.
