Weekend Box Office (04/15/12): Hunger Games fends off Three Stooges, Cabin in the Woods, and Lockout.

In the third-to-last weekend before summer, The Hunger Games fended off a trio of "B-movies" to retain the top spot this weekend...

Box Office Speculation: With few real competitors, why The Hunger Games will likely end 2012 as its second highest-grossing film.

Updated! The Avengers gets (surprisingly not terrible) character posters.

As you can see, Geek Tyrant  snagged a full banner comprised of the posters below (individuals after the jump).  Maybe it's because the ...

Well, this is indeed a teaser for The Avengers .  I don't expect to see a ton of new footage behind what was teased in the Captain Ameri...

Avengers assemble in poorly-photoshopped Entertainment Weekly cover.

It's no great tragedy, but the photo-shopping on display is pretty terrible.  The only real harm is that this poorly constructed and awk...

The movie or the marketing? Will going from Paramount to Disney help or hurt Marvel Studios' upcoming films?

It is a clear case of quitting while you're ahead.  Paramount pulled off another $65 million+ opening weekend for another Marvel propert...

Review: Captain America (2011) saves best pre-Avengers film for last, offering wonderful characterization and old-school adventure.

Captain America: The First Avenger 2011 124 minutes rated PG-13 by Scott Mendelson Joe Johnston's Captain America is a gloriously old-f...

Weekend Box Office (07/18/11): Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II dethrones The Dark Knight, earning $169.1 million in its opening weekend.
