Box Office: The Avengers Surpasses Star Wars?
22 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America With a cume of $463.35m after 18 days, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has surpassed George Lucas’ Star Wars ($460.99m) at the domestic box office, thus officially becoming the fifth biggest blockbuster in history. By next weekend, The Avengers should surpass Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ($474.54m) to become the fourth biggest domestic blockbuster in history. Impressive? Of course. Any way you look at it, The Avengers‘ box-office performance, whether in North America or abroad, has been phenomenal. The Disney / Marvel actioner has surpassed the expectations of most — if not all — prognosticators. Now, having said that, The Avengers is not a box-office phenomenon on a par with Star Wars. Not even close. Studio/media spin and p.r. b.s. aside, the true barometer of a movie’s success is how many tickets it has sold, »

Box Office: The Avengers Behind The Dark Knight Ticket Sales
21 May 2012 4:35 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Evans / Captain America, Robert Downey Jr / Tony Stark / Iron Man The Avengers easily topped the North American box office this past weekend, grossing $55.64m according to box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. At a distant second place with $25.53m was Battleship, a $209m Universal release that has turned out to be a major bomb domestically. On Sunday, The Avengers passed the $450m mark in North America. It is the fastest movie to reach that milestone: 17 days. At no. 2, Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight reached $450m after 27 days. (Adjusted for inflation, The Dark Knight reached that milestone on Day 21.) The Avengers vs. The Dark Knight: Ticket Sales Now, which movie has sold more tickets, The Avengers or The Dark Knight? On Day 17, The Avengers‘ cume stands at $457.66m; The Dark Knight‘s was $393.75m. Adjusted for inflation, The Dark Knight‘s take goes up to approximately $429m. »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »

Photo: Yes, Alyson Hannigan Is Still Pregnant
16 May 2012 2:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
We're gonna have to agree with Alyson Hannigan's tweet from a few weeks ago -- she definitely has the biggest baby bump in Hollywood these days.
The "How I Met Your Mother" actress, whose character on the CBS show recently gave birth, is currently expecting her second child with husband Alexis Denisof. They are already parents to daughter Satyana, 2.
Though she's reportedly not due until June, Hannigan looks as if she could go into labor at any moment -- and it seems like she agrees.
Check out a photo of Hannigan out and about on May 15 below:

The Avengers Box Office: $1 Billion Worldwide, 2nd Weekend Record
13 May 2012 5:44 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers box office: $1 billion worldwide; Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) soars The Avengers has indeed broken another box-office record in North America. If that weren’t enough, if studio estimates are accurate Joss Whedon’s superhero movie starring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, and Jeremy Renner has passed the $1 billion milestone worldwide — after 19 days out. At 4,349 theaters in North America, The Avengers collected an estimated $103.2m, down a mere 50% compared to the previous weekend. That’s the biggest "second weekend" gross ever, far surpassing James Cameron / Sam Worthington’s Avatar and Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, which brought in, respectively, $75.61m (about the same in 2012 dollars) and $75.16m (approx. $82m today) according to Box Office Mojo. Even taking 3D and IMAX surcharges into account, The Avengers would still remain quite a bit ahead of the (inflation-adjusted) 2D, modestly »

Weekend Box Office: The Avengers Movie to Break Another Record?
12 May 2012 4:35 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers movie: Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America) The Avengers may be poised to break another box-office record. On its second Friday out, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero movie starring Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, among others, collected an estimated $29.lm at 4,349 theaters in North America. According to Box Office Mojo, that’s the biggest "second Friday" gross ever, surpassing Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, which took in $23.2m in summer 2008 (approximately $25.3 in 2012 dollars). Of course, The Avengers has the advantage of 3D surcharges, and it has been showing at many more higher-priced IMAX screens than The Dark Knight ever was. If 3D is factored in (a guesstimate of about 50% of Friday’s tickets sales — as was the case last weekend; 30% average surcharge) then The Avengers‘ box-office take (to reflect actual ticket sales) goes down to approx. $25m — or about the same level as the inflation-adjusted The Dark Knight. »

Box Office: Johnny Depp/Dark Shadows Disappoints; The Avengers $100m?
12 May 2012 3:55 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Johnny Depp vampire: Dark Shadows The Avengers to break another box-office record? As per early, rough box-office estimates, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero movie is expected to gross $28-29m at 4,349 theaters in North America on Friday and a whopping $100m by Sunday evening — up from $80-90m predicted earlier today. Meanwhile, Tim Burton / Johnny Depp’s Dark Shadows opened with a disappointing $10.5m at 3,755 locations. Dark Shadows is expected to finish its first weekend with $28m — the amount The Avengers is expected to earn on its second Friday out. The above figures were found at Deadline.com, which adds that Dark Shadows distributor Warner Bros. was expecting at the very least a $35m opening weekend. Burton and Depp’s previous collaboration, Alice in Wonderland, opened with $116m in March 2010. Making matters worse for Dark Shadows: its budget is pegged at $150-175m, not including marketing / distribution expenses. Unless »

The Avengers Box Office: $1 Billion Cume?
11 May 2012 6:32 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Evans The Avengers to reach $1 billion this weekend? That’s certainly a possibility, depending on how steep the Marvel superhero movie will drop at the global box office. As of Thursday, May 10, The Avengers‘ worldwide gross stood at $803.31m: $533.3m international and $270.01m domestic. It needs $196.69m to reach $1 billion. This weekend, The Avengers is expected to collect anywhere between $80-98m at the North American box office. If those predictions are correct, the action flick will need to rake in close to $100m at the international box office. That’s not impossible, but it would mean a quite modest 35% drop-off rate: last weekend, The Avengers‘ earned an estimated $157.4m overseas, partly because it opened in two major markets, China ($17.4m) and Russia ($17.9m). Japan is the only major market left; The Avengers will open there in August. The Avengers is currently no. 32 on Box Office »

'Avengers' Director Joss Whedon: Hero Of The Week
10 May 2012 8:12 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Joss Whedon is our hero of the week. There should be no question as to why. Against all odds, the “Buffy” and “Firefly” mastermind brought us the “Avengers” film fans have been dreaming about for years—decades, really. Getting Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest of their superhero pals to work together on the big screen is no easy feat, but Whedon pulled it off and made box office history along the way. Not too shabby, guy!
In case you need more reasons as to why Whedon is our hero of the week—hero status that lasts a whole lot longer than a week, if we’re being honest—then read on!
» Without Whedon directing “Avengers,” we wouldn’t have gotten hilariously random cameos from Enver Gjokaj and Alexis Denisof, among other Whedonesque actors.

Box Office: The Avengers Surpasses The Dark Knight?
7 May 2012 1:34 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Captain America: Chris Evans, The Avengers movie Yesterday I wrote that in terms of opening-weekend ticket sales, it was a likely tossup between Joss Whedon / Chris Evans’ The Avengers, Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight, and, to a slightly lesser extent, Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man 3. What a difference 24 hours make. According to weekend box-office actuals, The Avengers earned $207.43m in North America. That’s $7m above Sunday estimates, which had already made it clear that the Marvel / Disney release had smashed David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2‘s previous box-office record: $169.2m earned last summer. The Grand Hotel of superhero movies may also have sold more tickets than any other movie in North American opening-weekend box-office history. Taking inflation into account, The Dark Knight would have earned $172-175m and Spider-Man 3 $171-$174m in 2012 dollars, depending on »

Box Office: The Avengers / The Dark Knight Tossup?
6 May 2012 3:17 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers director Joss Whedon, Chris Hemsworth Thor The Avengers has broken all opening-weekend box-office records in history. Well, maybe not all. But hyperbole aside, The Avengers has broken the official opening-weekend box-office record in North America. Apparently, by a wide margin. According to studio estimates, the Marvel superhero special-effects-laden ensemble will have taken in an estimated $200.3m before the day is over. Following John Carter, Mars Needs Moms, Cars 2, The Muppets, Tron: Legacy, Secretariat, and other domestic underperformers in the last couple of years, Disney executives must be, to put it mildly, ecstatic. The previous opening-weekend box-office record holder, David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, earned $169.2m last summer. Both The Avengers and Deathly Hallows 2 have the advantage of box-office-boosting 3D surcharges: 52% of The Avengers‘ gross came from 3D screenings. That surely helped the Joss Whedon-directed actioner to become (as per Box Office Mojo, »

The Avengers Box Office: Behind Harry Potter, Twilight Movies, Tdk?
5 May 2012 2:34 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Cobie Smulders: Maria Hill, The Avengers Early estimates had The Avengers‘ box office grosses pegged at about $70m in North America on Friday, including $18.7m from Thursday midnight screenings. Official studio estimates, however, have the superhero movie earning $80.5m on Friday — the second highest opening-day take ever. It turns out The Avengers has far surpassed the two Kristen Stewart / Robert Pattinson / Taylor Lautner movies on the top-five list, The Twilight Saga: New Moon ($72.7m) and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 ($71.64m). But David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 remains the undisputed opening-day box-office record holder, having grossed $91.07m on its first day out in summer 2011. (Note that unlike Deathly Hallows 2 and The Avengers, the two Twilight movies did not have the advantage of box-office-boosting 3D surcharges.) The Avengers did, however, officially break one box-office record: best single-day not including midnight screenings. »

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.

The Avengers Box Office Midnight: Not Biggest Superhero Debut
4 May 2012 3:39 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers (Scarlett Johansson photo right) earned an estimated $18.7 million from about 2,500 Thursday midnight screenings in North America. Ignoring inflation and the box-office-boosting effect of 3D/IMAX surcharges — $1.3m came from 273 IMAX screens — that places The Avengers at no. 8 on the list of biggest domestic midnight debuts. For comparison’s sake: without the assistance of 3D, Gary Ross / Jennifer Lawrence’s The Hunger Games opened with $19.7m at 2,565 locations (including 270 IMAX) in March, while Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale’s The Dark Knight took in $18.5m at 3,040 screenings (including 94 IMAX) in summer 2008. In fact, in number of midnight ticket sales, The Dark Knight remains ahead of both The Avengers and The Hunger Games – even without taking 3D/IMAX surcharges into account. After all, The Dark Knight’s $18.5m would translate into more than $20m today. The biggest midnight debut by far is that of David Yates / Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 »

Samuel L. Jackson Twitter: Avenging The Avengers

Samuel L. Jackson, The Avengers The Avengers actor Samuel L. Jackson, whose self-righteous Nick Fury looks like an amateur next to Tom Hiddleston’s brilliantly wicked Loki, has gone the James Cameron way. It’s "either you like my movie, or you have no job writing about movies." In response to an unenthusiastic The Avengers review by the New York Times‘ A.O. Scott, a couple of hours ago Jackson tweeted to his 823,000 followers: "#Avengers fans,NY Times critic Ao Scott needs a new job! Let’s help him find one! One he can Actually do!" In his review, Scott opines that The Avengers‘ "best scenes are not the overblown, skull-assaulting action sequences — which add remarkably little that will be fresh or surprising to devotees of the Transformers franchise — but the moments in between, when the assembled heroes have the opportunity to brag, banter, flirt and bicker." Scott then goes on »

Alyson Hannigan: Biggest Celebrity Baby Bump?
3 May 2012 9:02 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
During Jessica Simpson's seemingly never-ending pregnancy, there was no contest for the title of Hollywood's biggest baby bump. But now that she's finally given birth to Maxwell Drew Johnson, it's time for someone else to claim the honor. Alyson Hannigan did just that Tuesday, tweeting:
Congrats to Jessica Simpson!Does this mean I now have the biggest baby bump in Hollywood?
— alyson hannigan (@alydenisof) May 1, 2012
Though Hannigan told Rachael Ray that she's not due until June, recent photos reveal that she's a formidable contender for the "biggest bump" prize. This will be child No. 2 for the "American Reunion" actress; she and husband Alexis Denisof have a 3-year-old daughter, Satyana.
Hannigan, 38, may have accidentally revealed her baby's sex during her appearance on "The Rachael Ray Show" in April. "The other night, she -- this, you know," Hannigan said, when beginning an anecdote. She went on to describe how her baby frequently moves around, »

Alyson Hannigan ready to take over Jessica Simpson's 'biggest baby bump' title
2 May 2012 5:31 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Jessica Simpson's elephant-length gestation period came to an end on Tuesday (May 1) when she gave birth to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson. ... Ok, it only took nine months but it seemed like Simpson has been pregnant for the past two years.
"How I Met Your Mother" star Alyson Hannigan was one of the celebrities who took to social to send Simpson best wishes, but she also had an agenda of her own.
"Congrats to Jessica Simpson!" Hannigan tweeted. "Does this mean I now have the biggest baby bump in Hollywood?"
Someone would need to break out a tape measure to confirm, but judging by photos taken at last month's "American Reunion" premiere, Hannigan may have a legitimate claim to the very pregnant lady crown.
Hannigan and husband Alexis Denisof also have a 3-year-old daugher, Satyana. Her "Himym" character, Lily, is also expecting a baby and went into labor on Monday night's episode. »

Mystery Actor Behind the Big Mid-Credits Teaser of The Avengers Uncovered?
1 May 2012 7:39 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Those who have already seen Marvel's The Avengers superhero assembly on the big screen, or impatiently in an unofficial format, are fully aware of the big teaser in between the assured closing credits. For those who don't wish to be spoiled, considering the movie itself is two days away, stop reading now. Again, stop reading now! Moving along, the mid-credits teaser features an intergalactic interaction between two beings. One of the characters is listed as "The Other," portrayed by Angel actor Alexis Denisof, who also appears briefly twice during the film's opening sequences. And the other otherworldly character, heavily rumored for months prior, is a Mad Titan that goes by the name of Thanos, who's plum evilly grinning face was believed to be fully CG. However, there seems to be an actor behind the death-obsessed villain, shyly revealed by the actor himself. Despite IMDb listing him as "Man #1," »
First Footage from Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing in TV Report for The Avengers
1 May 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Back in October, we heard the absolutely brilliant news that Joss Whedon, king among men, had not only been working on The Avengers, but had also scripted and directed a microbudgeted production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, filmed in his own home.
So far, so awesome.
The first snippets of footage from the film have now surfaced in a CBS TV report on The Avengers – due out in the Us on Friday, and currently in UK cinemas – which Whedon of course has also written and directed.
The cast is exceptional, featuring many of Whedon’s frequent collaborators from his own special Whedonverse, including Amy Acker (Angel), Alexis Denisof (Angel), Fran Kanz (Dollhouse), Sean Maher (Firefly), Ashley Johnson (Dollhouse), Tom Lenk (Buffy), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), and of course, the one and only, Nathan Fillion (Firefly).
As yet, Much Ado About Nothing doesn’t yet have a release date scheduled, »
