Recapping Last Weekend

The Secret Life of Pets brought in $50.8 weekend in its second weekend of release to take the crown for a second straight weekend. The Legend of Tarzan saw its receipts drop 45.5 percent to $11.4 million in its third weekend of release. Finding Dory brought in $11.2 million in its fifth weekend of release and has now made more than $445.7 million domestically.

Bryan Cranston’s The Infiltrator made $5.3 million in its debut.

Opening This Weekend

Star Trek Beyond

The reviews of Star Trek Beyond have generally been along the lines of the New York Times review that says this third film in the franchise “sticks to its brand.” The Wall Street Journal polled 50 Star Trek fans who saw Beyond at Comic-Con in San Diego. 42 of the 50 gave the film a rating in the “A” range.

Two deaths behind the scenes have played a major role in the story of Star Trek Beyond. Leonard Nimoy passed away before the film began production, while Anton Yelchin who played the character Pavel Chekove in the rebooted Star Trek franchise, passed away in June.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend haul of $53.4 million for Star Trek Beyond.

Lights Out

Need to scratch your horror movie itch? Lights Out should do the trick for you this weekend. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle calls it a “little horror movie that delivers big frights” in his review of the film.

Maria Bello, who plays Sophie in the film, has brought some extra attention to the film with the ridiculous pants she wore to the Lights Out premiere.

A.A. Dowd’s review of Lights Out for A.V Club looks beyond the scary movie aspect of the film to look at what it says about clinical depression.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend of $10.2 million for Lights Out.

Ice Age: Collision Course

Ice Age is back for its fifth film since 2002 with Ice Age: Collision Course, in theaters this weekend. The original 2002 film made $383 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $59 million. The four films in the franchise have combined made more than $729 million domestically.

Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle was not very happy to have to review this latest Ice Age film and his review let that be known. His viewpoint extends to other film critics who have reviewed the film. If your kids are fans of the other Ice Age films, they will probably enjoy this one.

Todd M. Thatcher predicts an opening weekend of $28.3 million for Ice Age: Collision Course.

Code of Honor

Steven Seagal is still starring in movies, if you can believe it. His latest film, Code of Honor, is new to Redbox this week. Steven Seagal stars a Robert Sikes, a vigilant who isn’t as much of the star of the film as people would like.
