THEN THERE’S…
This week, Sony won a legal battle to go ahead with the release of The Interview. Sony, a company dedicated to all-comers and taking all comers in, finds itself losing yet another court battle: the one it lost to Kim Jong-Un.
Score: 2
THEN THERE’S…
As of Sunday night, Hacksaw Ridge had tallied up more than $44 million at the box office. Mind you, the film is on its fourth weekend in release, still.
Score: 4
THEN THERE’S…
The war movie The Papers finally opened in select cities on Friday, so for Tom Hanks and his costars to top $3 million on that opening day was a huge win.
Score: 3
THEN THERE’S…
And let’s not forget Molly’s Game, Aaron Sorkin’s latest venture with Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba. That film opened on Christmas day and hasn’t been off the screen since. Molly’s Game has raked in $20 million.
Score: 3
THEN THERE’S…
And yes, I’m about to say this, Tyler Perry was a box office player this weekend. His PG-13 comedy series A Madea Family Funeral is making headway.
Score: 4
THEN THERE’S…
And we come back to Amy Schumer and Tiffany Haddish’s first major foray as leads. Trainwreck 2 did not take off as well as Schumer would have liked, but she can’t complain. It’s her best opening ever!
Score: 3

While Amy Schumer was having a terrific weekend at the box office, our president took a very unfortunate stand in how he sees the need for the wall.
Score: 2
So how much did you see this weekend?
