The Box Office and The Dark Knight Rises: Déjà View

Untitled

Well surprise surprise. The Dark Knight Rises has topped the charts for two weeks in a row in predictably emphatic fashion. They say that in life there is no such thing as a sure thing. Well whoever said that would have been laughed out of the room by execs at Warner Bros. Whoever said that [...]




Batman and the Box-Office – The Dark Knight Reigns

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

The end of last week was a time of great anticipation for the people of Britain. The Olympics was one whole week away but in only a few short days the forecast was sunny with occasional spells of watching The Dark Knight. The PR machine (as it had been for some time) was in full [...]

The Box-Office – War Horse Gallops To Victory For The Second Week In A Row

War-Horse-007

Well it’s awards season again and thus this week’s top ten is an entirely polarising affair. We’ve got the great and the good of awards season doing well for themselves but it’s the shouty, awards hungry, For Your Consideration! failures that litter the outskirts of the chart that are the real news this week. But [...]
