EARLY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: “Man of Steel” Remains Kryptonite-Free
According to preliminary numbers at Deadline, MAN OF STEEL (Warners) dropped 18% on its second full day of release to $36.1M. That’s a good but not exceptional hold for a mega-opening; some recent comparisons are a 1...

THE SKED SEASON PREMIERE REVIEW: “Magic City”

THE SKED SERIES FINALE REVIEW: “Save Me”

THE SKED’S WEDNESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 6/12/13

THE SKED SEASON PREMIERE REVIEW: “Necessary Roughness”
NECESSARY ROUGHNESS: Wednesday 10PM on USA Sometimes even a moderately successful sports team will decide to shake things up and change the line-up (just ask the Clippers, Nets and Grizzlies at the moment), and that ti...
