Ant-Man, starring Paul Rudd & Michael Douglas, secured a healthy $58 million on its way to a weekend victory. However, this particular victory isn’t exactly worthy of balloons and streamers. Marvel, now owned by Disney, has become accustomed to huge returns from its superheroes, yet Ant-Man provided the second lowest debut under the MCU umbrella, barely outpacing 2008’s The Incredible Hulk ($55.4 million).

Despite suffering a 57% drop from last weekend’s $57.2 million opening, Ant-Man slightly outpaced the debut of Adam Sandler’s newest film, Pixels – grabbing $24.7 million. The latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t putting-up Iron Man numbers, or even Captain America numbers, for that matter, yet it has quickly secured $226.4 million, worldwide ($106 million, domestically). In the process, Ant-Man has easily reclaimed its $130 million budget, making it another certified summer hit.

Money. Military. Monoview. These are elements of imperialism that make it thought of as a negative concept. Imperialism is the expansion of a country’s power to another territory by using military force. It began in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s occurring in places like Africa where major European countries took over and divided up the land. Directed by James Cameron in 2009, Avatar showed the negative effects of imperialism on the planet Pandora when the Navi witnessed the humans using military force for economic incentives and viewing the natives as low people.

While it is not uncommon for people to object to a movie on a superficial level such as the choice of actors or the ability to portray an aspect correctly, it is with shame is witness people criticize a movie that is attempting to promote change, awareness, and inspiration. For those that wish to criticize a movie, let them harass one that is a lighter hearted matter such as a comedy, sci-fi, action or drama movie that is meant to entertain. I am aware that I am not the best judge of film as I tend to enjoy many that others discard as terribly done however for those that simply attack a movie for the sake of it, I wonder where they find enjoyment. If one wishes to criticize a movie for trivial and shallow reasons than I believe it is only fair that they first produce a movie that is half as

In 2005 there was a 60% increase in the number of households that had an HGTV, and expected to rise by another 46% in 2006, making the technology highly available to the American people. Another factor that boosted the perceived value of the film was Soderbergh himself. He is a well-known director who has directed all of the “Ocean’s Eleven” movies, “Traffic”, in addition to many other films and TV shows. While the cast of Bubble were completely unknown, ametures that were forced to work without a script, that choice allowed the film to feel “true-to-life.” Bubble was experimental in its released format, yet its’ opening weekend made just under half of the overall profit with $70,664 (US). The gross income of Bubble was charted at $145,382 (USA) as of February of 2005. These numbers, while showing some interest in the spectacle that began day-and –date releases, are still significantly lower than that top box office film of ’06. That year, the top hit was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest which grossed $423,315,812 (USA), $135,634,554 (32%) was from opening weekend alone. Comparatively Bubble made 0.03% of the amount that Dead Man’s

Paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his brother’s place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora.There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge’s intentions of driving off the native humanoid ``Na’vi`` in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel

If a man or woman curious enough to take such an interest in the monetary aspect of modern cinema were to take a look at the highest grossing movies of all time, that curious individual would find the movie Avatar at the top, followed by the 1997 movie Titanic which is only 600,000,000 U.S. dollars behind. Six-hundred million is an amount of money than the average American will never dream to see in his or her lifetime. These large earnings are not at all surprising; especially with the way we value entertainment in our culture. The movie Avatar had fantastic graphics and a gripping story-line that pulled movies goers in by their ears in 2009. The movie Avatar was like Jurrasic Park with hype for the CGI and other special effects that hadn’t

Sequels sell, and in the case of Jurassic World (2015), this was certainly the case. The film shattered records, taking in an incredible $524,418,134 during the opening weekend (IMDB). On top of this, the film seems to address many of the social tensions and emotions of the current generation. From the independent woman still needing a man, to children dealing with parental divorce, the social messages are strong in the film. Equally though, the film is a statement of a reignited interest in the unknown.

The Expendables series — The first film in Sylvester Stallone’s series was a hit, and the sequel has upped the ante with the inclusion of widely popular action stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chuck Norris. So expect this one to top the box office of the previous entry, somewhere north of $300 million at theaters before a nice additional run on the home theater market where profit margins are enormous. The films are popular because they are a throwback to the golden age of modern action films, and they answer the question, “What if everybody who ever kicked butt got together to kick each other’s butts all at once?” The answer, of course, is $$$. Lionsgate also has some other

With a budget of $58 million, its first weekend topped the charts and is in the number one slot with $132 million dollars in box office sales.
