Synopsis

One day in the life of Jane, a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. Her day is much like any other assistant’s—making coffee, changing the paper in the copy machine, ordering lunch, arranging travel, taking phone messages, onboarding a new hire. But as Jane follows her daily routine, she grows increasingly aware of the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day, an accumulation of degradations against which Jane decides to take a stand, only to discover the true depth of the system into which she has entered.

International Round Up: South Korea has a Welcome Intruder at the Box Office

June 10th, 2020

Intruder

Although recovery from the pandemic varies widely around the world, and some countries are seeing worrying spikes in infections, this weekend saw some encouraging signs of growth at the box office. Here’s a round up of what we’re seeing in different territories. More...

DVD and Blu-ray Releases for April 28th, 2020

April 29th, 2020

The Grand Budapest Hotel

It is a slow week for DVD and Blu-rays with almost no first-run releases to talk about. The Rhythm Section is the biggest first-run release of the week and it bombed hard. As for the best, The Assistant and The Grand Budapest Hotel are the only two contenders for Pick of the Week. That said, I am really looking forward to Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and I won’t have to wait long, because the screener is on its way. More...

VOD Releases: In Need of Assistance

April 24th, 2020

The Assistant

After a chaotic couple of weeks, the Video on Demand market has really slowed down. The Photograph is the only wide release to be featured here, but it is not among the best VOD releases. The only two I’m really interested in seeing are The Assistant and To the Stars. More...

Theater Averages: First Cow Comes Home

March 12th, 2020

First Cow

First Cow was one of two films in the $10,000 club earning an average of $20,331 in four theaters. The Booksellers was the only other member of the $10,000 club opening with $15,794 in its lone theater. More...

Theater Averages: Getting Assistance to Reach the Top

February 7th, 2020

The Assistant

It was a busy week for the $10,000 club, as we had four entries, compared to none last week. The Assistant led the way with an average of $19,785 in four theaters. Incitement and José had near identical averages earning $11,219 and $11,191 respectively. Beanpole barely made the $10,000 club with an opening weekend of $10,008 in one theater. More...

Weekend Estimates: Bad Boys Enjoy Life at the Top

February 2nd, 2020

Bad Boys for Life

Bad Boys for Life is extending its run at the top of the chart the weekend with Sony projecting a total of $17.675 million as of Sunday morning. That’s down 48% from last weekend, which is another solid hold, and takes the film to the brink of $150 million at the domestic box office—it’s expected to have around $148 million by close of business. The studio is baking in a big 71% drop today thanks to competition with the Super Bowl, so it may end up doing just a little better than predicted. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Getting Short Changed

January 31st, 2020

The Wonderland

The 2020 Oscar Shorts lead the way on the limited release report this week; however, it is far from the only release worth checking out. The Assistant, Beanpole, The Wonderland, and others are all intriguing. I don’t think any of them will find an audience, but I think most people who do get a chance to see them will be impressed.

Because some of our sources provide box office data in their local currency, while we use USD in the graph above and table below, exchange rate fluctuations can have effect on the data causing stronger increases or even decreases of the cumulative box office.
