A heated weekend box-office battle came down to Sunday-night receipts and ... it turns out Elvis is still the King. Sunday estimates had two films in a weekend dead heat at $30.5M each - Elvis (NASDAQ:WBD), the new musical biography of Elvis Presley helmed by Baz Luhrmann, the director of fil...

Top Gun: Maverick easily outperformed expectations in its second weekend to keep dominating movie ticket sales and deliver some relief to studio Paramount (NASDAQ:PARA) (NASDAQ:PARAA). The follow-up outing from star Tom Cruise's latest film held its business significantly better than expected...

It's time for the sophomore weekend for Tom Cruise and Top Gun: Maverick (NASDAQ:PARA) (NASDAQ:PARAA), and with stellar attendance, broadly positive reviews, healthy word-of-mouth and little competition, the film is likely to buzz the box-office tower yet again. The long-in-the-making sequel ...
