For a second weekend, Christopher Nolan's WWII movie DUNKIRK was on top at the box office with an estimated $28.1 million!

In third place was the R-rated GIRLS TRIP with$20 million, dipping just 35% from its opening last weekend.

In fourth place was the new Charlize Theronaction movie ATOMIC BLONDE with an opening of $18.5 million.


SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING continued crawling in fifth with $13.5 million. Marvel's web-swinging superhero has a domestic total of $278.3 million after a month in theaters, leaping over the $262 million domestic finish of previous reboot THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN in 2012.

In sixth place, WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES kept fighting with $10.3 million.

The animated DESPICABLE ME 3 was in seventh with $7.7 million. The sequel continues the franchise's global domination with a worldwide total of $819 million.


In eighth was VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS with $6.8 million.

BABY DRIVER was in ninth place with $4 million over its fifth week on screens.

At the bottom with $3.5 million was WONDER WOMAN.

Outside the chart, Kumail Nanjiani's comedy THE BIG SICK left the list along with horror movie WISH UPON. In limited release, director Kathryn Bigelow's fact-based drama DETROIT opened in 20 locations for an $18k per-screen average, and Al Gore's documentary AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL: TRUTH TO POWER started with a per-screen average of $32k.


Next weekend brings Stephen King's sprawling multi-genre story to life in THE DARK TOWER, Halle Berry tries to rescue her son in the thriller KIDNAP, and DETROIT expands into wide release. In limited release, fellow Avengers Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen solve a crime in WIND RIVER. Thought I would try something different hope you enjoy!

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'OldBoy' Review: WOW!

Image
• Oldboy, 2003 • 9.6/10 • 'Oldboy' is one of the most intense movies you will ever see. Breathtaking, brutal and easily one of the best revenge movies ever made. Every shot is bursting with background detail and wonderful colour. The screenplay is probably one of the best I have ever seen. The acting is amazing, especially Choi as the main protagonist Dae-su Oh. All the actors did great but his performance was powerful, emotional and raw (all you need to do is see the infamous squid scene). I also highly commend Ji-tae Yu, he put in a spectacularly believable performance as the sadistic and very lonely Woo-jin Lee. Chan-wook Park gives this movie a very unique style with his subliminal direction and his extremely intelligent and edgy script. It will leave you guessing right up until the very end whilst simultaneously making you think and question your moral compass! Must see! Thoughts??
