Five movies about dads to watch on Showmax this Father’s Day weekend
It's Father's Day this coming Sunday! So why not take a break from your shopping for socks or cigars this weekend to watch a movie about some other great dads with yours?
Monday Box Office Report – The Croods take over Olympus
Plenty of new films hit the North American box office this weekend. Cage was back, action made a return and something about ladies in bikinis going head to head with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd in a rom-com. That’s quite a packed schedule, and one that had plenty of jostling for the number one spot. But like all things in …
Monday Box Office Report – The wizard versus the magician
With the Wizard of Oz reigning supreme at the box office, it’s going to take something just as magical to knock it off of its perch. That’s where the new Steve Carrell comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone came in over the weekend, filled with magnificent haor and even more pomp in a Las Vegas style illusion of magic that would …
Monday Box Office Report – Oz is great and powerful indeed
Quite frankly speaking, it’s been a crappy couple of weeks for the financial side of movies.

Not so much in content but definitely in approach and execution as writer/director Ric Roman Waugh casts Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a man who’s built like a leather-bound fire hydrant and who has made a career of putting rather large boots to asses, in a role where he …
Monday Box Office Report – Jack slays the competition
It’s March, but at the box office, it might as well be Meh-rch. The month officially began at the box office, and just like the majority of February, returns were rather disappointing overall. Jack the giant-slayer debuted to a lukewarm number one spot, alongside a coming of age flick and a final Exorcism part deux. Here’s the latest tallies, from …
Monday Box Office Report – Identity Thief steals number one back
February hasn’t exactly been the greatest of months when it comes to new releases. Big budget flicks are usually reserved for the April to July window, and the Oscars have been hogging all the glory with zingers about Chris Brown and Ben Affleck’s Argo eff yourself. So in short, it was a quiet weekend. Here’s a look at how everyone did at …
