USA box office for the 45th weekend 2017-2025

 

USA box office on the 45th weekend of 2025 is up 25% compared to last year when "Red One" was the top-grossing movie.  This year "Predator: Badlands" is the #1 movie this weekend. 

But it's down 60% from a 2022 peak when "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" ruled the box office.

Variety, 11/8/2025

Rebecca Rubin reports on the latest Hollywood retread:

The sci-fi series ignited with 1987’s “Predator,” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and extended over the years with sequels, reboots and “Alien” crossover films.

And then there's this week's bomb:

“Christy,” featuring Sweeney as the boxing trailblazer Christy Martin, didn’t benefit from star power, either. The R-rated sports drama, the first theatrical release from Black Bear Pictures, debuted at No. 11 with a paltry $1.3 million from 2,011 theaters.

Keeping tabs on authors in LINKcat: John Russell Taylor

 

LINKcat

New York Times, 11/6/2025

Sam Roberts reports:

As a young and prescient arts critic and author, John Russell Taylor praised the future Nobel laureate Harold Pinter as “the greatest” of the new wave of stylistically revolutionary playwrights to emerge in their native England in the late 1950s. 

During his stint in the 1970s as a Los Angeles-based correspondent for The Times of London, Mr. Taylor bonded with Alfred Hitchcock over their mutual affection for English candy and, trust earned, wrote the filmmaker’s only authorized biography — one of many well-received and comprehensive books he published about secretive public figures in the arts. 

Perhaps most memorably, Mr. Taylor, a lifelong movie aficionado, recalled writing for The Times such an effusive late-career appraisal of Bette Davis that she rang him up to say “she was thinking of forging down to the office to kiss me.” 

Mr. Taylor, a widely praised author and critic whose reviews encompassed theater, painting, fashion and cinema, died on Aug. 18. He was 90. 

He had homes in London and Wales, but his obituaries in British publications, including The Times of London, did not provide further details.
