Hollywood's Positive Month Doesn't Cure The Patient's Long-Term Issues. By: MattInRC Back in late March, we reviewed the top box office performers year-to-date but also lamented about Hollywood's continued domestic woes . Among the bad news we reported at that time: As of March 30th, the industry (compounded monthly) was down a staggering 63%; Five of the top 10 films were leftover releases from 2012; April was similarly terrible, reflecting a 12% loss from 2012 - at $634,100,000 - with a compounded-monthly loss of 75%; The market hasn't seen such poor performances since 2011. These bits of data could have created bad omens for the Summer 2013 schedule, which does not have an Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, or Skyfall (all of which made $2 billion domestically) to lead the charge. But, we did have several intriguing releases such as Star Trek: Into Darkness , Fast Six , and Iron Man 3 . So, how did the critical month of May fair for Hollywood? A

Does May finally bring moviegoers back to theaters? By: MattInRC With crowds still staying away from theaters in droves - April 2013 was down 21% from April 2012 - the movie season is about a huge shot in the arm, with no less than 4 potential $200 million domestic grossers slated for release - Iron Man 3 , Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast Six, and The Hangover Part III . That's an impressive lineup, and one that Hollywood desperately needs big numbers from in order to right their ship. Let's take a look at each of these by week: May 3 Iron Man 3 is already a monster at the box office, potentially to take in a mesmerizing $175 million in its opening weekend. And while that's exactly what Hollywood needed, it's actually lower than last year's The Avengers , which opened to a $207.4 million domestic weekend. Say what you want about the film's treatment of The Mandarin, it seems like the film has already set a pretty high bar for the Summer 2013 season.

As the heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew. “ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS ” opens nationwide May 17th, 2013.
