It's All About 'Sex,' Drugs and Rock 'N Roll
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTBEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 21, 2001 -- One thing remains clear after tonight's 58th Annual Golden Globe Awards: There was a definite lack of a dominant film on the block. Though certain sure bets did come out victorious, no single film was able to sweep the Globes, leaving the upcoming Oscar race as wide open as it was before. Heavy contenders "Traffic," "Almost Famous," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Gladiator" all took home two Globes apiece at the annual star-studded event. As expect

THE COMING BOX OFFICE WEEKEND (SEPT. 15-17, 2000):
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., September 14, 2000 -- Hollywood will suffer from the box office blahs this weekend. In fact, insiders anticipate so little moviegoer enthusiasm for the weekend's new wide releases that it won't take much to capture first place. Warner Bros. and Castle Rock Entertainment's R-rated action comedy "Bait" has the best shot at topping the chart thanks to a very wide opening at 2,352 theaters and its likely appeal to urban moviegoers. "I'm sure it's going to play well to African-A

May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., September 21, 2000 -- Suburban teens should help cut "Urban Legends: Final Cut" the biggest slice of box office pie this weekend. "'Urban Legends' can actually do double digits," one insider observes. "It'll be nice to see that again, won't it?" "Urban," an R-rated horror sequel opening from Columbia Pictures at 2,539 theaters, is heading for first place with $12-13 million. "Teens, particularly, have to be hungry for something to go see," says a distribution executive. "I

B.O. ANALYSIS: Audiences on 'Watcher' Watch
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., September 10, 2000 -- Moviegoers' eyes were on "The Watcher" as Hollywood's fall season got off to an unexciting start. Box office levels across the board were considerably less than insiders had anticipated going into the weekend. With many studio executives out of town attending the Toronto Film Festival, few insights were offered as to what went wrong. Overall, key films were estimated to have grossed about 22 percent less than this time last year. With televised coverag

B.O. ANALYSIS: 'The Parents' Meet 'The Titans'
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTWith "Parents" meeting "Titans" there will be brisk action on the box office playing field and a close race for top honors. "It will be close," an insider promises. "Even though 'Remember the Titans' is expanding, they're bringing in a lot of small markets and there's got to be, at least, a 15% drop. Let's put it at $17 million. I think 'Meet the Parents' has a good chance of being number one. It could be $18 million, or it could more than $20 million if the marketplace expands." The last two we

THE COMING BOX OFFICE WEEKEND (SEPT. 29-OCT. 1, 2000)
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTHOLLYWOOD, Sept. 28, 2000 It should be a weekend to "Remember" as "Remember the Titans" hits the box office gridiron. "Titans," Buena Vista/Disney's PG-rated football theme drama, is kicking off at 1,865 theaters. It has insiders seeing green, a box office color that's been invisible so far this fall. "I think we will remember the 'Titans,'" observes one studio executive. "They'll be over $20 million. At last a movie exploits the soft marketplace." "There's no question 'Meet the Tita

B.O. ANALYSIS: Moviegoers Stay Home
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., September 17, 2000 -- There was lots of Olympic Gold but very little box office gold this weekend. Insiders had anticipated low grosses and a close race for first place, and that's exactly what they got. With ticket sales down over 33 percent from this time last year, it took only $5.7 million for Universal's "The Watcher" to nail down the top spot. Key films in the marketplace - those grossing $500,000 or more for the weekend - did approximately $47.58 million. Distributio
