I’ve received many e-mails and comments from readers asking why I don’t do the weekend box office rundown on a regular basis. Honestly, I’ve avoided reporting on the numbers due to a lack of personal interest. I just don’t like writing about numbers and money. It’s something that’s been lacking on /Film, but we’ve just filled the gap.
I’m pleased to welcome Steve Mason to the /Film Team. Steve is a Los Angeles-based talk show host for 710 ESPN Radio, the President of Flagship Theatres, and more importantly a box office movie industry analyst for Fantasy Moguls. Fact: He’s the best at what he does. Steve will be reporting and analyzing the box office numbers each and every weekend through a new partnership between /Film and Fantasy Moguls.

Not like writing about numbers and money? Dude, haven’t we just seen money takes on this site regarding Die Hard 4, Transformers, and Harry Potter ?!?

Jim - Just because I don’t personally like writing about numbers and money doesn’t mean that I didn’t try to give the readers the box office coverage they want. Steve is an incredible analyst, and will bring an energy and knowledge to the box office updates that I would never be capable of.
