Post-Credits: The Box Office Needs Dune: Part Two - Things have been bleak so far as three of the films drafted in our box office pool have struggled to make $1 million and a first round draft pick was a major letdown. However, there were two bright spots to kick off the year, while 2023 holiday holdovers and awards season films did their part to keep the box office somewhat afloat in 2024.

Feature Presentation: Live Breathe Films’s 2024 Winter/Spring Box Office Pool Draft - It’s time to predict the biggest films for the first four months 2024, which is looking to give audiences a severely depleted selection of films for audiences to choose from due to the dual strikes of 2023. While actors can promote their films normally unlike much of the second half of 2023, there are only so many potential blockbusters and films in general for these actors to promote. Do we think any original films will break out? Which established franchises do we believe are losing steam with audiences? We’ll share those thoughts and more as we make our picks.

Post-Credits: Beyoncé and the Dreaded Post-Thanksgiving Box Office - The Beyhive came out to keep the box office from a typically miserable weekend to kick off December. While it wasn’t the best of weekends, and Beyoncé’s film wasn’t eligible for our Fall Box Office Pool, things could have been far worse.

Feature Presentation: Hollywood Greed or: How Studio Executives Learned They Needed to End the Strikes and Simultaneously Blow Up Their 2024 Theatrical Calendar - With 2023 coming to a close, it’s time we look forward at the films of 2024.

Post-Credits: Help Us, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, You’re Our Only Hope - Beyoncé will now be making an impact on the Fall Box Office as AMC continues to make major moves, as nothing but horror has made a dent this season prior to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour opening.

Feature Presentation: 30 Years of Leo - As Leonardo DiCarprio and Martin Scorsese’s sixth collaboration, Killers of the Flower Moon, approaches, we wanted to look back at Leo’s performances and decide which are our individual and collective favorites.

Having been led by some of the greatest directors of all time, including Scorsese, Spielberg, Nolan, Cameron, Eastwood, Scott, Tarantino, Luhrmann, Boyle, Raimi, Allen, Iñárritu, Mendes, and Zwick, this was not an easy task.

Post-Credits: The Mystery of the Missing Box Office Grosses - We have another case of diminishing returns in Kenneth Branagh’s series of Agatha Christie/Hercule Poirot mysteries, while Dumb Money has proven to be a dumb draft pick in our Fall Box Office Pool.

Feature Presentation: Living in a Barbie World - The summer has come and gone, so now it’s time to look back at the hits, flops, and surprises that were released from the first weekend of May through Labor Day. It’s fair to say things did not remotely shake up like we thought they would.

Post-Credits: Taylor Swift’s Impact on Our Fall Box Office Pool - One day after our fall box office draft, Taylor Swift and AMC dropped a bomb on Hollywood (and our pool). We look at the immediate fallout now.

Feature Presentation: The Impact of the Strike on the Fall Movie Season - To be frank, we weren’t 100% sure what films were actually going to open this fall with the dual WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes taking place. Yet that was before Taylor Swift dropped a bomb on Hollywood, the relationship between exhibitors and film studios, and the previous release schedule between September-December. This is a season that looks to have a ton of high quality films, but it also doesn’t have any guaranteed box office smashes outside of The Eras Tour. However, one night prior to Taylor and AMC’s earth-shattering announcement, we attempted to predict the biggest films of the fall via our Fall Box Office Draft, and run through nearly everything that is or was scheduled to be released in theaters before the end of 2023.
