A Couple Changes on the Site June 28, 2007 11:08 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Websites (Site Info).add a comment
I’d just like to make a quick note on a few changes I’m going to be doing on the site, mostly pertaining to ratings, but also an update on the 2007/2008 development slate.
Basically, I’m going to be trimming down my analysis of repeats. Which means there will be a reduced focus on week-to-week ratings for programs that are in repeat mode (which is a lot this time of year since we’re in the summer months). Analysis will remain the same, and perhaps even increase, on my reporting for programs airing original installments.

Weekend Box Office — June 22-24, 2007 June 24, 2007 5:49 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Box Office, Movies, News.1 comment so far
Evan Almighty was first for the weekend, but underperformed, managing only $31.19 million from 3,604 theaters. The film was well off from its predecessor, the 2003 Jim Carrey hit Bruce Almighty, which grossed an impressive $67.95 million. With its huge budget of $175 million (Bruce Almighty’s budget was $81 million), the movie has quite a ways to go before it breaks even, let alone is considered a hit.
1408 was strong in second place, while Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer takes a big, though not entirely unexpected, plunge in its second week. Year-to-year, the box-office was down very slightly (2.2%). (more…)
