Box Office Guru Wrapup: Super Teens Edge Boy Wizard for #1 Spot
Super Bowl weekend saw a fierce battle between two sensational teams as the new super hero pic Chronicle won a narrow victory over the horror flick The Woman in Black leading a busy frame at the North American box office. Both new releases beat expectations with $20M+ debuts, were low-cost projects, and successfully excited teens and young adults who have been so hard for studios to reach with non-sequels. The former went after the guys while the latter targeted the gals allowing both films to thrive. In fact, all three of the weekend's new releases - including the kid-friendly whale rescue pic Big Miracle - skewed heavily towards the under-25 crowd leading the overall box office to continue to exceed year-ago levels every frame this year.

Weekly Ketchup: Adam Sandler to Conquer Candy Land
The world of movie development news definitely got back in business after two weeks obsessed with Sundance, but it's still January, and Hollywood tends not to do tons of really great things in January, it seems, at any point of the development cycle.

Critics Consensus: The Woman in Black is a Solid Ghost Story
With awards season in full swing, audiences have plenty to choose from at the multiplex, whether it be the Oscar contenders they've missed or a solid trio of new releases. We've got a haunted town (The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Ciarán Hinds), a teenage superheroes (Chronicle, starring Dane DeHaan and Alex Russell), and a whale rescue (Big Miracle, starring John Krasinski and Drew Barrymore). What do the critics have to say? Daniel Radcliffe tackles his first major post-Harry Potter in The Woman in Black, and critics say this spooky, atmospheric ghost story conjures up some terrific old-fashioned thrills.
