2017-08-28T05:11:32-07:00What a Horrible Weekend for Hollywood!

The summer ended with a whimper at the box office this week. Just how bad was it? Well, it hasn't been this bad since the days after 9/11.

Via The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie business got knocked out at the box office over the weekend as revenue fell to its lowest level since the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

A lack of product is the main culprit as summer limps to a close, with none of the new offerings earning more than $5 million. Saturday's Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight was a major distraction, while Hurricane Harvey prompted theater closures in numerous Texas markets, including Houston.

Weekend revenue is estimated at $65 million, the worst showing since the Sept. 21-23 weekend in 2001 ($59.4 million) almost 16 years ago, and down 45 percent from the same frame last year when Don't Breathe opened to an impressive $24.6 million.

The last weekend in August before the Labor Day holiday also signifies the final weekend of the summer movie season at the box office. This year, the summer movie season is definitely going out like a lamb, with last weekend's winner The Hitman's Bodyguard beating out three new movies and a heavily-promoted fight screening in select theaters across the country, to take the top spot with just $10 million. In fact, the combined gross of the top 12 movies was the lowest in 16 years, since September 2001.

Box Office Mojo reports that the combined gross for the top 12 movies added up to $49 million, the first time that the top 12 failed to earn more than $50 million in over 20 years, and the worst since the September 21-23 weekend in 2001, just a few weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when the top 12 earned just $43.5 million, topped by Hardball starring Keanu Reeves, with $8 million. It's possible that, when...

It was an incredibly slow weekend at the domestic box office. There were many reasons for that. A lack of overly appealing new releases, Hurricane Harvey hammering Texas and the highly-anticipated fight between Floyd "Money" Mayweather and Ufc champion Conor McGregor. Ironically, even though the fight may have kept some people from heading out to the movies this weekend, the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight (the gladiator event of the year) actually managed to be a big hit at the box office itself.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor fight was screened in theaters across the country, offering boxing fans an alternative to paying for the fight on Pay-Per-View. According to Variety that strategy paid off quite handsomely, as the fight managed to bring in $2.4 million from just 481 theaters. To put that in perspective, that is only a little less than the $2.5 million that the Bruce Lee inspired Birth of the Dragon managed...

Floyd Mayweather may have landed that winning knock-out punch on Conor McGregor, but that wasn’t the only fight making headlines on Saturday night.

Jamie Foxx and Olivia Munn put on a show of their own with their red carpet fight ahead of the much anticipated Floyd Mayweather v. Conor McGregor match in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

During the Showtime Wme Ime and Mayweather Promotions VIP Pre-Fight Party, the two posed for a few photographs on the red carpet. At one point the two got into a fighting stance, as Munn playfully put a fist toward Foxx’s chin.

Saturday night's super-fight between world boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Irish Mma star Conor McGregor was a knockout victory in theaters, earning $2.6 million from 532 locations in North America locations to come in No. 8.

Earlier on Sunday, comScore showed the special event earned $2.4 million from 481 theaters, but the grosses were later revised upwards for the U.S. and Canada.

The result is one of the biggest victories ever for Fathom Events, which partnered with Mayweather Productions in beaming the boxing match into cinemas. In many theaters, the price of entry was north of $20.

The card...

Conor McGregor might not have come out on top in Saturday night’s match against Floyd Mayweather, but it didn’t stop him from celebrating.

In a video posted by TMZ, the 29-year-old Irish pro fighter is in high spirits at Las Vegas’ Encore Beach Club at Night, dressed in a festive suit with his home country’s flag proudly draped over his shoulders.

“It didn’t go our way, but we still party like it did go our way,” McGregor addressed the cheering crowd while tunes like Fat Joe‘s “All the Way Up” and Notorious B.I.G.‘s “Hypnotize” play in the background.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. stopped Conor McGregor Saturday in the 10th round of their much-hyped superfight, though both combatants were winners in terms of paydays. Also making many millions on the bout were Showtime and cable carriers, as the pay-per-view event was expected to (and surely did) shatter revenue records. But not everyone who watched the match ponied up for a ticket or a PPV — there were tons of illegal live streams shared on various social media platforms. That fact made frugal users on Twitter delighted to have seen “Money” without spending any. Also Read: Floyd Mayweather Jr Beats Conor McGregor.

The reboot was performed with the intention of allowing customers the option to at least watch the bout in standard definition, as opposed to hi-def.

The smart money in tonight’s Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight is on Mayweather. It’s also on it being one of the biggest pay-per-events ever — and, according to some prognosticators, the biggest. That’s due to a number of reasons, most of which have little to do with boxing.

For one, May/Mac is more spectacle than sparring contest. McGregor isn’t a boxer but an Mma fighter whose larger-than-life persona is straight out of WWE. Loud, brash, and charismatic, he’s the kind of fighter fans love to hate. Mayweather, meanwhile, is undefeated at 49-0 and far from the world’s showiest pugilist; he often wins via points rather than knockout. That, coupled with his personal scandals — chief among them a number of domestic-violence incidents — have many, many fans eager to see him end his career by finally getting that L.

Even if you know nothing about boxing, you’ve surely heard by now that there’s a high-profile fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor tonight. The bout is unusual in that McGregor isn’t, strictly speaking, a boxer — the swaggering Irishman is an Mma fighter and the current Ufc Lightweight Champion — as well as the fact that it’s expected to be among the biggest pay-per-view events of all time.
