weekend

There are only two new movies in wide release this weekend, but they both feature marquis names.

Three new movies — and one that’s not so new, but has been revamped in 3D — will be vying for your entertainment dollars in theaters this weekend.

The supernaturally-powered boys in ‘Chronicle‘ proved they had one more trick up their sleeves: coming in first at the box office. The film sold $22 million in tickets to take the top spot this weekend.

Liam Neeson’s movie about being hunted by a pack of rogue wolves, ‘The Grey,’ was apparently red meat to movie-goers. It brought in $20 million in its debut to take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

Looks like movie-goers’ affection for vampires isn’t just limited to those in ‘Twilight.’ Kate Beckinsale’s vampire warrioress in ‘Underworld Awakening‘ proved popular as well, earning $25.4 million to take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

Now that the holidays are officially dead and buried, studios are back to releasing new films at a brisk pace — and this weekend, you’ll have your choice of four.

No matter how rich and famous you are, sometimes you need your girlfriends to swoop in and save the day. That’s just what Rihanna is doing with her bestie Katy Perry. RiRi is reportedly planning to whisk her pal away to Mexico in the wake of her shocking split with husband Russell Brand.

Movie studios inundated us with releases last week, which meant some were bound to get lost in the shuffle — especially the two that bowed on Christmas Day. Let’s take another look at them, shall we?

With at least six movies opening in wide release on various days over the past week, it would’ve been easy for any film to get lost in the shuffle.

Whether your thing is singing rodents or sleuthing Englishmen, you’ll want to start heading to the theater. In ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked,’ the squeaky trio of Alvin, Simon and Theodore find themselves marooned on a tropical island after they go overboard from their cruise ship.

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ continued to dominate at the box office this weekend, earning $42 million to easily retain its top spot on the charts.

The swords-and-sandals fantasy movie ‘Immortals’ fought off the competition to take the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning $32 million in its debut week.

Fantasy aficionados, history buffs and those who enjoy slapstick comedy will find plenty to keep themselves occupied at the movies this weekend.

This weekend’s new films include a timely tale of revenge against a greedy rich guy, and the latest in a movie franchise beloved by users of, shall we say, “recreational herbs.”

The swashbuckling feline from the ‘Shrek’ franchise, ‘Puss In Boots,’ still has plenty of lives to spare after its weekend haul of $34 million, putting it at the top of the charts in its first week of release.

‘Paranormal Activity 3,’ the third installment in the horror film franchise, received a warm welcome at the box office this weekend, earning $54 million and a spot at the top of the charts in its first week of release.

With two sequels and a remake, this weekend’s movie premieres may not appeal to fans of completely new material, but they should make those who enjoyed the originals very happy.

Buffalo and San Francisco won significant victories, and Green Bay’s undefeated Packers kept on rolling after a brief brush with defeat. Here’s a recap of all the NFL games from week five of the 2011 NFL Season: New England 30 NY Jets 21 Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis gained a career-high 136 yards rushing and scored two touchdowns to lead the New England Patriots over the New York Jets, 30-21

Two very different new films will hit theaters in wide-release this weekend, featuring Hugh Jackman, Ryan Gosling and George Clooney. In the futuristic ‘Real Steel,’ Jackman plays a washed-up fighter who takes his 2000-pound scrap metal contender to the bot boxing championships. And in the Clooney-directed thriller, ‘The Ides of March,’ Gosling is an up-and-coming presidential campaign press secre

It was neck-and-neck for a while, but in the end, the family-friendly ‘Dolphin Tale’ bested the Brad Pitt baseball-saga, ‘Moneyball,’ to take the top-earning spot at the box office this weekend.
