The box office is booming this January. It looks like the studios are finally figuring out that the month doesn't have to be a movie wasteland. Either that, or they've gotten extraordinarily lucky. Underworld: Awakening managed $25 million last weekend, but helping the box office ...
Danny Sullivan is a pretty smart dude. If you're not familiar with him, it probably means you haven't dabbled much in SEO. And when he wrote yesterday about paying Rupert Murdoch three times for the same piece of content, it really got me fired up. ...
So Contraband was the ultimate view-getter in the online world, which translated to a nearly $30 million opening weekend, coasting past The Beauty and the Beast 3D re-issue ($23 million), while Joyful Noise did a not-too-shabby $11 million. This weekend is loaded. First, we have ...
I would consider myself to be cautiously optimistic about Ultraviolet--Hollywood's big gamble on digital movies. The service would provide a digital locker that consumers can "fill" with movie purchases, while the films themselves live in the cloud. I'm optimistic because I'm ready for digital media, ...
It was a pretty big week for online video fans, as CES 2012 kicked off and a wave of new video gadget announcements began. We also heard some big predictions from key companies at CES, like YouTube, who said that soon 90% of all web ...
OK, so we had a bang-up start of the year last week with The Devil Inside. That movie went on to make over $33 million and probably would have made $50 million if kids weren't getting turned away and kicked out (yes, cynics, that happens). ...

What the hell?! Warner Bros. just revamped deals with Redbox, Blockbuster and Netflix effectively doubling the wait time for them to get new releases. What it really means is, they're making you wait longer and trying to force you to buy discs earlier, it sounds ...
What will be noted about Netflix' 2011 will be that poorly-handled price increase that sent people into mass hysteria. What won't be noted that much, but has way more impact, is that Netflix saw people stream like they've never streamed before in 2011, and in ...
Over the course of 2012, I'd like to discuss online movie trailers for upcoming major releases. I'd like to see if a high view count translates into a big opening weekend. I'd like to discuss the effectiveness of the trailers online. I'd like to see ...
This week in our look at the Reel Web we talk about how mobile viewers are watching our videos longer than desktop views are and how Facebook dominates Twitter in video sharing. Also, we review YouTube's new "Slam" voting feature and what they're doing to ...
Recently, Slate discussed a trailer for the is-it-or-isnt-it-a-movie Bad Ass. Starring Danny Trejo, the ultra-grizzled character actor from the movie Heat and star of the Robert Rodriguez fake-trailer-turned-movie Machete, Bad Ass had David Haglund debating whether the trailer was real or not, and mentioned that ...
Boxee version 1.5 will be the last PC client there is, it seems they no longer want to support that build your own Boxee box initiative. It's partly because they see the Internet TV revolution moving away from Boxee-style boxes and instead going to connected ...
Netflix has made an upgrade to their mobile app for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad, and this update is especially good news for owners of the latter: the new Netflix app is optimized for use and viewing on the iPad, and it looks ...
The simplest concepts I've long held that Shazam is quite possibly the most useful smart phone app on the planet--it's certainly the one I used the most out of all the apps I've ever downloaded. It's definitely a simple concept (hear a song you want ...
