Box Office

Nationwide movie prices are slowly climbing up.

While “Lee Daniel’s The Butler” doesn’t stop showing up for work and “Instructions Not Included” continues its success.

Unless you count the 3 day weekend in which it did bow to “One Direction.”

This year’s “John Carter” surprises everyone by not bombing (yet).
