What to Expect When You're Expecting
Film News: ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Hits Box Office Target
Submitted by BrianTT on June 3, 2012 - 3:11pmCHICAGO – Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron dominated at the box office this past weekend, as “Snow White and the Huntsman” made an estimated $56.3 million in three days, more than good enough for first place. The film is already close to crossing the $100 million mark internationally and is a definite hit, notching the second-highest three-day total of the season after “The Avengers.”
Box Office News: ‘Men in Black 3’ Dethrones ‘The Avengers’ From Top Spot
Submitted by BrianTT on May 28, 2012 - 6:14pmCHICAGO – Perhaps to avoid the scorching heat, a lot of people went to the movies this Memorial Day weekend and two films dominated the marketplace. “Men in Black 3” finally dethroned the champ with an impressive $55 million over the three days (and $70 million over the holiday four-day weekend) compared to the $36.8 million brought in by “Marvel’s The Avengers.” The Will Smith - Tommy Lee Jones flick is definitely a hit but it has a ways to go to approach the $1.3 billion worldwide already amassed by one of the biggest films of all time. (For the record, “Men in Black 3” has already made $203 million worldwide.)

Film Review: Boredom Awaits During ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ with Cameron Diaz
Submitted by BrianTT on May 18, 2012 - 11:16amCHICAGO – “Battleship” is getting a lot of flack this week for having little to do with its alleged source. I would argue that the awful “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” is even more dishonest when it comes to its inspiration.
