Jason Bourne returns with a fury – and takes down the box office field in the process…

For those wondering whether the Bourne film series had seen its best days come and go, it would appear it’s alive and well – to the tune of $60 million. Matt Damon returned to the popular franchise, reprising his role as Jason Bourne, establishing one of the highest openings of the franchise, coming in only behind 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum ($69.2 million).

Jason Bourne has also done relatively well abroad, thus far, earning a quick $50.1 million – bringing the film’s worldwide total to $110 million. And, with a production budget of $120 million, all signs would indicate we likely have not seen the last of the Bourne franchise. The only question is… Will Matt Damon be back?

While the third installment of the reboot series enjoyed a solid $59.2 million opening last weekend, Star Trek Beyond dipped significantly in its second weekend on the market, suffering a 60% collapse. Regardless, Star Trek Beyond has now grossed $160.5 million, worldwide ($105.7 million, domestic) – and has a fourth installment on the way.

The new comedy, Bad Moms, debuts in third place – earning $23.4 million. Starring Mila Kunis & Kristen Bell, Bad Moms has already recouped its $20 million production budget, making it an instantly summer success story. With few alternatives to the release of Suicide Squad next weekend, Bad Moms could be primed another noteworthy performance one week from now.

Another former box office champion, The Secret Life of Pets, lands in fourth – adding $18.2 million to its ever-growing total. Currently, the animated film is on the cusp of crossing the $300 million domestic total ($296.1 million), along with the $400 million threshold on the worldwide front ($395.1

    The movie franchise that began with “The Terminator” in 1984 has had its ups and downs. Being the first film of the series, “The Terminator” did not make a lot of money in total given that it had little hype going into it and it co-starred a relative unknown with some German sounding name that it turns out was Austrian. However, considering it only had a budget of $6.4 million and it made $78 million worldwide according to the Wikipedia page about the franchise, the producers were no doubt happy with the result. “Terminator 2” was the highpoint of the franchise in terms of box office draw and overall awesomeness.…

    The heated debate of paying college athletes and the status of student-athletes as amateurs has been argued often and thoroughly in recent times. With testimonies coming from current and former NCAA Division I athletes about inability to afford basic living amenities such as being able to afford dinner, being able to see a movie with friends, or find time to balance athletics with academics and a social life, media and critics have been arguing whether or not it is time to start paying college athletes. Some of the proponents for paying college athletes argue that the amount of time put in by the athletes and the amount of revenue raised by the NCAA and member institutions is exploiting athletes. Those that argue against paying college athletes…

    Compared to the last few years, 2015 provided a slew of eye-popping, entertaining movies. Obviously, Star Wars has completely overshadowed anything and everything else that’s out there at the moment – but from the big budget summer spectaculars to the lesser-appreciated indie flicks, there was a lot to love throughout the year. And, a lot to hate, as well… First things first, plenty of hard-hitting records were set – possibly none more impressive than the those established by Jurassic World. Now, before you laugh even more than you probably already did, bare in mind that it was nearly impossible for anyone to predict the vast amount of carnage the return of the dinosaurs would unleash. Oh, and it’s only the third highest grossing movie…

    The Transporter: Refueled

    Over the span of 13 years, the Transporter series has morphed into a modest little franchise – with emphasis on the “little” portion of that statement, since three combined installments have barely surpassed $200 million (total), worldwide. Still, conservative budgets allowed for tolerant box office turnarounds, thus leading to future sequels. At the same time, the conservative budget finally cost the franchise its leading man – Jason Statham, who started in all three of the previous films. However, Statham has gone on the record as saying he wanted to do more, but didn’t sign on for future sequels due to poor pay and the inability to see scripts ahead of time.…

    There's a motivation behind why James Bond has figured out how to stay so significant and still appear speaking to men all over in excess of fifty years. Notwithstanding who plays him or what decade the film happens, the thought of James Bond is an individual as well as a way of life. Since the James Bond Film Franchise has kept going almost sixty years, the characters don't age in connection to arrival of the first film. Rather, Bond is constantly mid-matured. In like manner, in Ian Fleming's stories, James Bond is in his mid-to-late thirties.…

    Introduction Frozen from Disney, with a worldwide box office more than $1.2 billion, it is not only proclaimed to be the first ‘princess’ movie to enter the list of top 10 grossing animated films, as well as the first animated film in these years. The characters and music are culturally omnipresent worldwide (Maryam & Yalda, 2015). After the movie was released, Disney continued to promote it with smart marketing strategies by seizing every opportunity. Catchy soundtracks and a well-conceived storyline, high demand for merchandise and accelerating popularity with DVD and digital downloads are some of the reasons people are still talking about Frozen (Beth, 2014). In this paper, I would like to explore the three main features of this film in…
