Gabrielle Union Talks "Being Mary Jane": Pilot Episode Wrapped + Character & Plot Breakdown
25 May 2012 8:27 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
I know some of you expressed some concern for what the focus (or foci) would be in the new Bet hour-long drama from the Akils, Being Mary Jane, starring Gabrielle Union. Your reactions have varied, from whether it would be a scripted extension of the "crisis of the single black professional female" meme that's been exhausted (the program was initially titled Single Black Female, and was soon changed to Being Mary Jane - thankfully); to whether it'll be a series that "bashes black men," as others have expressed, and everything else between. It doesn't help that not much has been revealed about the project, other than your basic synopsis: Being Mary Jane chronicles the work, social and family life of a successful African American career woman who has achieved a decorated career as the host of a fast paced 24-hour national cable news network. As Mary Jane juggles her life, »

Chris Evans: Captain America, The Avengers Barring a huge surge on Saturday and Sunday matinees, The Avengers will not be breaking any box-office records in North America. Even if one chooses to ignore inflation, the Joss Whedon-directed Marvel / Walt Disney release is expected to remain behind David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 both on opening day Friday and for the weekend as a whole. The Avengers is expected to collect around $70 million at 4,349 locations on Friday (including $18.7m from Thursday midnight screenings), according to Deadline.com. If that’s correct, The Avengers will land behind not only Deathly Hallows 2 ($91.07m), but also Chris Weitz’s The Twilight Saga: New Moon ($72.7m) and Bill Condon’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ($71.64m), both starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. Note that unlike Deathly Hallows 2 and The Avengers, the two »

Singer Nick Lachey and actresses Gabrielle Union and Holly Robinson Peete have paid tribute to tragic American football legend Junior Seau following his death from an alleged self-inflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday.
Police in Oceanside, California were called to the sportsman's home following reports of a shooting incident inside the property, where his girlfriend had found Seau unconscious in bed with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Great guy. rip", while Union, who met Seau while filming in San Diego in 2000, adds: "Deepest sympathies go out 2 the family, friends & fans of JuniorSeau ...great guy who made the 'Bring it On' cast at home at his restaurant 'Seaus' in Sd".

We may never know what caused the massive fire at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta on Tuesday. After putting out the blaze and examining the damage, Atlanta's fire chief said on Wednesday (May 2) afternoon that the damage was so intense that officials don't think they will be able to find the source of the blaze.
"The cause of the fire will be recorded as undetermined," Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin J. Cochran said in a statement, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "The intensity of the fire in the area of origin consumed any evidence that would lead to a cause of ignition."
The fire damaged the exterior of one building in the center of the 30-acre, 200,000 square-foot complex, but thanks to the construction materials, it did not reach into the interior, »
Film News: ‘Think Like a Man’ Tops Box Office For Second Weekend
1 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “Think Like a Man” – starring Kevin Hart and Gabrielle Union – held its own, securing the top spot for a second week in a row with a weekend gross of $17.6 million ($60.4 million total). “The Five-Year Engagement” written by and starring Jason Segel was expected to top the box office this past weekend but came in at a disappointing fifth place with a weekend gross of $10.6 million. The second and third spots were held respectively by new release family animated movie “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” ($11.1 million total) and “The Hunger Games” ($372 million total).
While multiple news outlets consider “The Five-Year Engagement” a flop, E! Online predicts the comedy will be saved from “flop status” with its frugal budget of $30 million. Other new releases include Jason Stratham’s action flick “Safe” ($7.9 million) and the period thriller “The Raven” ($7.3 million) starring John Cusack. “American Reunion” fell from the top ten and will »

Think Like A Man Stuns Hollywood With Second Week On Top
29 April 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
The movie adaptation of comedian Steve Harvey's relationship guide Think Like A Man has stunned Hollywood by landing a second week at the top of the box office.
The ensemble comedy, featuring Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union and Michael Ealy, crashed in at number one last week and kept four new films from the top on Sunday, thanks to a healthy second weekend take of $18 million (GBP11.2 million).
The film has now made over $60 million (GBP37.5 million) in 10 days.
Romantic comedy The Five-Year Engagement was expected to debut at number one, but opened in third place with a disappointing $11.2 million (GBP7 million). The Pirates! Band of Misfits opened in second place with a $11.4 million (GBP7 million) opening weekend.
Jason Statham's latest action film Safe and John Cusack's turn as writer Edgar Allen Poe in The Raven both underwhelmed at the U.S. box office with $7.7 million (GBP4.8 million) and $7.3 million (GBP4.5 million), respectively. »
The Avengers’ Smashes Records…$178 million
29 April 2012 11:13 AM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
HollywoodNews.com:In the weekend before the official start of the summer season, four new releases, all of which were relatively smaller fare, all debuted to numbers ranging from not awful to genuinely awful (or example 4,321 on why comparing total weekend box office is stupid). The top film this weekend was once again Think Like A Man, which dropped a surprisingly decent 46%, earning another $18 million. The ensemble romantic comedy has now earned $60 million, putting it on track to be among the domestic bigger grossers of the first 1/3 of 2012.
If we’re specifically talking ‘black-films’, then the Tim Story picture is a few days from outgrossing every Tyler Perry movie save Madea Goes to Jail, which grossed $90 million three years ago (the second highest-grossing Perry film is the $63 million-grossing Madea’s Family Reunion). With a smaller drop and a larger second weekend off a $8 million-smaller opening weekend, it may pass that mark »

Box Office: Safe, The Five-year Engagement, The Raven Disappoint
28 April 2012 1:25 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jason Statham movie: Safe Think Like a Man, inspired by TV/radio comedian Steve Harvey’s bestselling book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, will apparently remain at the top of the North American box office for the second consecutive weekend. That’s less because of Think Like a Man’s ladylike staying power than because of the weak performance of this weekend’s four new entries. The romantic comedy, which many reviewers found simple-minded and cliche-ridden, opened impressively last weekend, but it has gone steadily downhill this past week. In fact, Think Like a Man’s Thursday take was 32% below the film’s gross on Monday. For comparison’s sake, the Zac Efron romantic drama The Lucky One was down 3%. As per Deadline.com, Think Like a Man is expected to collect $5.2 million on Friday, for a weekend total of $17.5 million — down 52% compared to last weekend. Directed »

Why Think Like A Man Was A Surprise Success at the Box Office
23 April 2012 11:04 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
What do you know? It took rom-com Think Like a Man to knock Hunger Games off its four week throne. Based on Steve Harvey’s New York Times best-seller Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, the film far surpassed its $17 million projections and raked in $33 million opening weekend, topping The Lucky One and Hunger Games respectively. The never-ending quest for love is real.
Although rom-coms are popular in the sense that many of them become household names, they aren’t always respected. Yet we can’t resist the good and the awfully bad love movies that make us laugh and say, “Awwww. How cute.” But who would have thought a dating movie with a predominantly black cast would be the one to give Hunger Games a run for its money? Here are five reasons Think Like a Man knocked it out of the park.

Zac Efron, "Think Like a Man" Finally Slays "The Hunger Games"
23 April 2012 10:12 AM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
Two date-night flicks triumphed over "The Hunger Games."
"Think Like a Man" and "The Lucky One" knocked the box-office champion, "The Hunger Games," off its No. 1 box-office position after spending four weeks at the top spot.
Based on Steve Harvey's dating-advice best-seller, "Think Like a Man" overperformed and defied expectations with a $33 million debut, landing the romantic comedy at No. 1. Sony's Screen Gems expected the film to debut around $15 - $18 million but the ensemble comedy featuring Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Hart, and Gabrielle Union, surprised everyone!
"The Lucky One," starring Zac Efron, also surprised everyone with its $22.8 million debut at No. 2. Its domestic take came in a bit above Warner Bros' expectations as well. ("The Lucky One" movie review)
But have no fear for "The Hunger Games." The Lionsgate box-office champ took in $14.5 million for the No. 3 spot but so far has raised its domestic total to »

Watch: Gabrielle Union Banned From Heat's Courtside Seats
23 April 2012 8:25 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
If you haven’t seen actress Gabrielle Union courtside at Miami Heat games cheering on her man Dwyane Wade, don’t worry: their relationship's fine, it's just that he's banned her from sitting front and center.
“I don’t sit courtside; that got killed when I became as vocal as I am,” the enthusiastic heckler told Conan O’Brien. (Watch her interview with Coco above.)
Union said that because of her jeers against opposing teammates and referees, Wade told her to move further away from the court as he could hear every word she said -- including some jeers when her man messes up.
"I feel like, who's gonna tell him if not me?" she laughingly told a flabbergasted Conan, admitting she's yelled both "Airball!" and "Brick!" at her boyfriend.
Future NBA girlfriends can take a few heckler's pointers from Union, who reportedly began dating Wade after his split from »

23 April 2012 7:57 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
The date-night movies Think Like a Man and The Lucky One finally have knocked The Hunger Games off its number one box-office perch.
Think Like a Man, based on Steve Harvey's dating-advice best-seller, debuted as the top North American weekend draw with $33 million, according to studio estimates. That's almost double what studio executives had expected for the Sony Screen Gems ensemble movie, which features Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson and Gabrielle Union.
The Warner Bros. drama The Lucky One, starring Zac Efron in an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' romance novel, opened in second place with $22.8 million and topped the Canadian box office. It also came in a bit above studio expectations going into the weekend.
Think Like a Man was produced for about $13 million and took in nearly that much on opening day Friday alone, with business getting even better on Saturday. Sony executives had figured the movie »

Weekend Box Office (04/22/12): Think Like a Man, The Lucky One and The Hunger Games
23 April 2012 5:26 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
It was an 'everybody wins' weekend at the box office as all three openers outperformed even the most optimistic expectations. The number one film of the weekend was not The Hunger Games but rather Think Like A Man. The all-star romantic comedy based off of Steve Harvey's best-selling relationship self-help book grossed a somewhat surprising $33 million on just over 2000 screens. The Screen Gems film was notable in that the small studio made a real effort to market the African-American-centric rom-com both to black males and white audiences (Vulture has a detailed article about the marketing campaign). Racial demographics aren't available yet, but the film played 63 percent female and 62 percent over 30. For what it's worth, it earned an A from Cinemascore, including an A+ from audiences under 25. Even more impressive is that the film achieved a near -3x, including a token increase on Saturday (from $12 million to $13 million). The »

Screen Gems' romcom pushes dystopian drama off the Us top spot, with Zac Efron's The Lucky One in second place
The $33m (£20.5m) debut of Think Like a Man defeated The Hunger Games for the first time in five weekends and allowed Sony's Screen Gems division to enjoy a little love as everybody gets ready for the arrival of The Avengers in a fortnight. Tim Story directed the romcom featuring a skilful ensemble of Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union and Taraji P Henson, among others.
As for The Hunger Games, nobody will be shedding a tear. It has amassed more than $355m in North America and $533m worldwide in one month. After Gary Ross said he wouldn't return to direct the second episode, Lionsgate had to hustle and announced Francis Lawrence, the music video specialist whose theatrical CV includes I Am Legend, Constantine and more recently Water for Elephants. »

The Hunger Games Box Office Run Ends at Zac Efron and Steve Harvey
22 April 2012 9:51 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
The Hunger Games is no longer king of the box office, though its nearly month-long run will be remembered for years to come.
Sony and Steve Harvey's Think Like A Man, Warner's The Lucky One with Zac Efron, and Disney's annual Earth Day documentary offering Chimpanzee joined former champ The Hunger Games to help perk up the North American box office after an unmemorable performance a week prior.
Take Steve Harvey's best-selling self-help book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, add an ensemble cast that includes popular comedian Kevin Hart, Regina Hall, Gabrielle Union and Romany Malco, and shrewdly market the hell out of it, and you will end up with a number one movie whose opening numbers were double even the most promising pre-release estimates. Sony's Think Like A Man opened on a moderately wide release of 2,015 theaters and went on to earn a terrific »
