Does it...

This week, The Boys plow through the Top 5 and discuss how The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It was able to dethrone A Quiet Place Part II at the top of the Box Office, whether or not Godzilla vs Kong will beat AQPPII to $100 Million, and why Cruella’s B.O. is not indicative of its overall success (2:00).  Then we come to grips with the Federal Trade Commission’s reports of fraudulent behavior c...

There wasn't much to laugh about in the Summer of 2020, but then a movie swooped in to fill that mirthless void. And that movie was Killer Raccoons 2: Dark Christmas In The Dark.  For a few weeks in July and August, KR2:DCD was the #1 Comedy Film in America.  In this very special interview, The Boys sit down with Travis Irvine, the brains behind the scrappy indie powerhouse that took over theaters...

(Note: Between the recording and posting of this episode, Mortal Kombat's weekend total has moved up to $23.3 Million and Demon Slayer's has moved to $21.1 Million) Mortal Kombat and Demon Slayer battled it out at the Box Office with Mortal Kombat prevailing with $23.3 million.

Godzilla vs. Kong is king again, Nobody has a great hold and Voyager tanks.    Also, Top Gun 2 and Mission Impossible move, but it's Peter Rabbit 2: Runaway that's hopped around the calendar the most. We follow the bunny tracks.   Plus, Pat goes to the movies! We talk about his first theater visit in over a year, and we go deep on the theater cleaning process.   MISS IT AT YOUR OWN RISK   E-mail:...

WOW!   Godzilla vs. Kong outdid all industry tracking to grab $48.5 in the 5-Day and $32.2 over the weekend. The Boys talk about what this means for theatrical, how did the HBOMax Day and Date availability affect the B.O. and who is the bigger star, Godzilla or Kong?   Plus, we divvy up the $48.5 Million dollar opening. How much does Kong get? What about Godzilla? Does Millie Bobbie Brown get her...

The Bob Odenkirk action film Nobody opened at #1 with $6.8 Million. Is Bobby O the most unlikely action star ever?    Godzilla v. Kong opens Wednesday (March 31st). Tracking says $20 - $30 Million 5-day, but what do THE BOYS have to say?    LISTEN AND LEARN!   E-mail: theboboyspodcast@gmail.com Donate: https://www.patreon.com/jakefogelnest

LA theaters reopened this weekend, netting $1.55 Million and buoying the Top 5. The Boys run down what dropped the least.   Plus, Black Widow moves to July 9 and Cruella stays put, but they're both getting a day and date release in theaters and Disney + PVOD. On top of that, Pixar's Luca shifts exclusively to Disney + on Father's Day Weekend. What does this mean for Disney's relationship with thea...

The Top 5 stay put as Raya hangs onto #1. But will it lose its claw hold next weekend?   The Snyder Cut drops on HBOMax on Thursday, what will this do to next weekend's Box Office? We break it down and explain how Tom & Jerry can benefit.   The Oscar Nominations are out. Which films will see a Box Office Bump and which "stars" will see their stocks rise?   theboboyspodcast@gmail.com Donate: https:...

We need to talk about Raya. After Tom & Jerry's big opening last weekend, Raya The Last Dragon pockets a measly $8.6M to snag #1. Why did it see less green than expected? We break it down.   Plus, Chaos Walking fell flat at #3. What does this do for Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley's B.O. potential moving forward?   And F9 zooms back to June 25th. We tell you why it's a GOOD sign for theatrical.   BOO...

WOW! No one predicted this! TOM & JERRY chases down $14.1 Million at the B.O. this weekend, coming very close to WONDER WOMAN 1984's $16.4 Million Christmas bow. What does this mean for this dusty (or so we thought!) IP and WARNER BROS HBOMax day and date experiment?   Plus, we look towards next weekend, when RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON and CHAOS WALKING open wide with NYC THEATERS entering the mix....

THE CROODS: A NEW AGE is back at #1 for the second straight week. Will it outgross TENET domestically?   Plus, which one is TOM and which one is JERRY? Kids don't know and, more importantly, DON'T CARE! We predict how this new TOM & JERRY film will fare in theaters this weekend and whether it will outgross 1993's MIRAMAX TOM & JERRY movie.   And NEW YORK CITY theaters are set to open MARCH 5th. Ho...

It happened! The little movie that could, DID!   After 19 weeks in theaters THE WAR WITH GRANDPA made $20M domestic.   In this very special, STAR PACKED episode, we celebrate DeNiro, divvy up the millions and most importantly, APPLAUD!   theboboyspodcast@gmail.com Donate: https://www.patreon.com/jakefogelnest  

Denzel wins the slow Super Bowl B.O. Weekend, but what movie trailer won the actual Super Bowl?
