Titanic 3D Box Office: Much Better Overseas

8 April 2012 3:33 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Titanic 3D Gary Ross / Jennifer Lawrence / Liam Hemsworth / Josh Hutcherson's The Hunger Games Passes $300m? Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion landed at no. 2 on the North American box office chart, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. At 3,192 locations, the R-rated comedy took in $21.5 million — including $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings. That's quite a bit lower than the $25 million some had been expecting as late as Friday evening, or the near-$30 million predicted by Box Office Mojo a few days ago. If those estimates are correct, Universal will surely claim that American Reunion easily surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original American Pie at 2,508 sites in 1999. In 2012 dollars, however, American Pie would have earned approximately $29 million. And what that means is: many more tickets were sold for American Pie than for American Reunion. Also, remember that American Reunion cost a »

Box Office: The Hunger Games, American Reunion, Titanic 3D

7 April 2012 4:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Kate Winslet as Rose, Titanic 3D The Hunger Games will easily top the North American box for the third weekend in a row. Gary Ross' dystopic adventure tale collected $12.9 million on Friday, April 6, according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The film will likely earn somewhere between $35-$40 million over the Easter weekend. If so, it will be down around 30-35% compared to a week ago — or about half its 62% drop-off rate last (non-holiday) weekend. The Hunger Games should cross the $300 million mark at the domestic box office on Sunday. Its current total is $282.23 million. Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion landed at no. 2 on Friday. At 3,192 locations, the R-rated comedy took in $9.2 million — including $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings. Its weekend total could reach $25 million. If those estimates are correct, Universal will claim that American Reunion far surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original »

The Hunger Games Box Office: Titanic 3D, American Reunion?

6 April 2012 8:20 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic The Hunger Games will easily top the North American box office once again this weekend — its third time as no. 1 — according to Deadline.com's "sources." As per Deadline's early, rough estimates, The Hunger Games is expected to collect $12-$14 million on Friday, and could reach $40 million over the Easter weekend. If so, Gary Ross' movie would be down close to 30% compared to last weekend — or less than half its drop-off rate last (non-holiday) weekend. It seems that Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg's American Reunion will be the no. 2 movie on Friday, with somewhere between $8-$10 million at 3,192 locations, and an estimated $25 million by Sunday evening. That includes $660,000 earned at Thursday midnight screenings in North America. If those estimates are correct, Universal will claim that American Reunion far surpassed the $18.7 million earned by the original American Pie at 2,508 sites in 1999. There is, however, a pesky little thing known as inflation, »

William Forsythe And Jay Harrington Cast In Fox Drama Pilots

7 March 2012 2:15 PM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

After playing a Prohibition-era gangster on the most recent season of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, William Forsythe is set to play a modern day one in in Fox’s untitled Josh Berman/Rob Wright pilot. Forsythe will co-star opposite Jordana Spiro in the project, directed by Michael Dinner, which centers on Grace Delvin (Spiro), one of Chicago’s top young cardiothoracic surgeons who, to save her gambling-indebted brother, is forced to moonlight as a “mob doctor.” Forsythe, repped by the Arlook Group and Innovative Artists, will play Alexander Constantine,  the charismatic leader of the Southside mob. Charming yet diabolical, seemingly low-key yet incredibly powerful, he is an oddly compassionate killer and a Mephistophelean figure to Grace, who may also be his estranged daughter. Better Off Ted star Jay Harrington has been tapped for a co-starring role opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. in the Fox drama pilot Guilty, from Marc Guggenheim and Greg Berlanti. »

The legal-themed project, penned by Berlanti’s Eli Stone collaborator Marc Guggenheim, centers on a brilliant, morally questionable defense attorney by the name of Billy (Gooding) who, after being falsely convicted of fraud and stripped of his legal license, uses his unorthodox methods to solve the cases he’s been prohibited from handling and to exact revenge on those who set him up.

This week's new films

27 January 2012 4:07 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

The Descendants (15)

(Alexander Payne, 2011, Us) George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Nick Krause, Robert Forster. 115 mins

A sideways move from Sideways takes Payne on another tour of masculine crises, though this has mellowed and matured for longer. Family issues jolt Clooney out of his Hawaiian comfort zone. His wife's sudden coma puts him in charge of their two daughters, and brings their marriage into perspective, while his control of the ancestral estate adds to the burden. It's a well-rooted drama of great performances and big themes (and probably big awards).

Like Crazy (12A)

(Drake Doremus, 2011, Us) Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence. 90 mins

Young love sees no colour, but it must abide by visa regulations in this cross-Atlantic romantic saga, which tests a couple's endurance in an offbeat, indie style.

The Grey (15)

(Joe Carnahan, 2012, Us) Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo. 117 mins

Liam Neeson v wolves – seems like a good match. »

Enrico Clerico Nasino‘s True Love / Y/N: You Lie, You Die (2012) movie trailer stars Clare Carey, Jay Harrington, Ellen Hollman, Tyrees Allen, and John Brotherton. True Love‘s plot synopsis: “On the surface, Kate and Jack, late 20s, are happy. But like everyone, they carry secrets that neither is prepared to reveal.

After their wedding, they awake from a deep, dark sleep, each alone in a sealed room with no doors or windows – only images projected on the walls and a monitor with two buttons: one for “yes”, one for “no”.

As the horror of their situation unfolds, surveillance films showing their life together appear on the wall, as the monitor asks questions, each more strange and terrifying than the last.

It soon becomes apparent that a bizarre test of their relationship is underway, and the secrets revealed lead them »
