Specialty Box Office: 'Progress' Leads Openers; 'Marigold Hotel' Expands To Huge Numbers
13 May 2012 10:34 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
As "The Avengers" continued to dominate the overall box office, Fox Searchlight continued to find fantastic numbers from what is soon to be the highest grossing indie of 2012, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." The film is certainly the specialty story of mother's day weekend, which also saw a decent debut from "Girl in Progress" and less promising starts from "Where Do We Go Now?," "God Bless America" and "I Wish." Check out the full rundown below, including numbers for The Weinstein Company's very unsuccessful attempt to expand "The Artist" one last time. The Debuts: "Girl In Progress" (Lionsgate and Pantelion) Patricia Riggen's single mom film "Girl In Progress" had a very hopeful start this Mother's Day weekend. The film -- which stars Eva Mendes -- got an aggressive start on 322 screens and managed to pull in $1,350,000. That made for a strong $4,193 »

'Dark Shadows', 'The Avengers', And More: Double Feature Friday!
11 May 2012 12:16 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
One week later, and people are still talking about "The Avengers." If you're headed back to the theater to see it again or are just checking it out for the first time, we have the recommendation for your pre-viewing, plus pairings for the rest of the week's releases.
Check out this week's Double Feature Friday!
"Dark Shadows" & "Cronos"
In his latest collaboration with Tim Burton, Johnny Depp plays a good-intentioned, reluctant vampire. If that breed of blood-sucker is up your alley, check out Guillermo del Toro's "Cronos" before heading to the theater. The film tells the story of Jesús Gris, an elderly antique shop owner, who comes into possession of a device that turns the user into a blood-thirsty immortal. Del Toro fills "Cronos" with his signature, wonderful weirdness, and the movie marks his first collaboration with Ron Perlman, oddly the only American in the cast. "Cronos" is fun, »

Eva Mendes Stars in 'Girl in Progress' Trailer
9 January 2012 5:59 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
The trailer for Girl in Progress reveals that the film -- starring Eva Mendes as a struggling mother of a teenage daughter -- will raise the question of who is actually the parent and who is the child.
Mendes' character seems to be in more trouble than her young daughter (played by Cierra Ramirez). She's sleeping with a married man, falling behind on her bills and neglecting her 13-year-old daughter.
"A coming of age story is the story of a young person's change from child to adult," says a teacher in the trailer. As Mendes' character's actions become more unstable and erratic, her daughter is forced to grow up and find her independence.
The Pantelion Films movie, directed by Patricia Riggen, also stars Matthew Modine, Patricia Arquette and Eugenio Derbez. It will open in theaters on April 27.

Eva Mendes Gets Serious in ‘Girl in Progress’ Trailer
9 January 2012 12:46 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Think of it as a family-friendly version of We Need To Talk About Kevin. Patricia Riggen, director of Under the Same Moon, is giving Eva Mendes a chance to lead in her upcoming drama Girl In Progress. The story of a struggling single mother trying to figure out how to parent looks like material fit for Lifetime, but it is indeed getting a theatrical release.
Co-starring Matthew Modine (will this film also get pushed back due to The Dark Knight Rises?!), Cierra Ramirez and Patricia Arquette, the cloying teaser below via Yahoo doesn’t sell me. But I’ve always been fond of Mendes and it is nice to see her nab a leading role, although I’m much more looking forward to her supporting performance in Derek Cianfrance’s The Place Beyond the Pines later this year. Check out the trailer below, along with the first poster.
Girl In Progress hits theaters April 27th, »
