The Business of Film: Spider-Man - No Way Home, Louis Wain & Swan Song
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the latest state of UK cinema where Spider-Man: No Way Home is shattering box office records, with a US take of $253m. It's Tom Holland's 6th outing as the webslinger. He was engaged rather than stirred but loved The Electrical Life of Louis Wain w. Benedict Cumberbatch, out on New Year's Day. He found Swan Song, a futuristic domestic drama wonderful and very intelligent.

The Business of Film: West Side Story, Clifford The Big Red Dog & The Unforgiveable

The Business of Film: West Side Story, Clifford The Big Red Dog & The Unforgiveable
James Cameron-Wilson on UK film box office, impacted by the Omicron variant, with box office down 15%. West Side Story is #1 but with a disappointing £1.3m. Snapping at its heels is Clifford The Big Red Dog. Although feeling it could have been better, James found The Unforgiveable, with Sandra Bullock, to be gripping. It's a Netflix film, as are the two films garnering most nominations in the London Film Critics Awards, announced just before the recording, The Power Of The Dog and The Lost Daughter.

The Business of Film: Resident Evil - Welcome to Raccoon City, C'mon C'mon & Love of Jeanne Ney
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office, where Boxing Day arrives at #7 and the unimpressive Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City at #8. Joaquin Phoenix stars in the charming C'mon, C'mon which debuts at #15. James found much to admire in the 2-versions-for-one Blu-Ray release of the 1927 silent film The Love of Jeanne Ney, by Pandora Box director G W Pabst and also the 1949 Kirk Douglas film Champion.

Disney's 60th animated feature, Encanto, opens at #3 while a special screening of the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes was #7 ("like the best seat in the theatre"). James's pick of the week is Jane Campion's The Power Of The Dog on Netflix. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, James reckons it will pick up many Oscar nominations.

Business of Film: Spencer, Cry Macho, The Suicide Squad & Sweet Thing
James Cameron-Wilson on the latest UK box office, down 29% week on week while October as a whole was stronger than 2019. Moving up to #4 as it goes wider is Spencer with Kristen Stewart a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination. Clint Eastwood stars in and directs Cry Macho but it arrives at #15. For home viewing, James recommends James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, one of the best films of the year and the black & white melodrama Sweet Thing, which swept him along.

The Business of Film: Dune, The Boss Baby 2, Last Night in Soho, Ron's Gone Wrong
James Cameron-Wilson discusses the UK box office, with No Time To Die reclaiming the #1 spot. With £86m banked, it's the 6th most successful film in the UK and the only one ever to have taken over £1m a day for 30 consecutive days. Dune, spectacular but unengaging according to James, has been knocked off top spot and is #2. The Boss Baby 2 is #5 while Edgar Wright's "baffling" Last Night in Soho arrives at #8 with Ron's Gone Wrong, a UK animation much recommended, #9. James also looks at two Netflix movies, Hypnotic and The Harder They Fall.
