Will Smith/Men In Black 3 Box Office: Why So Disappointing?
28 May 2012 7:25 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
MIB3: Will Smith, Men in Black 3 Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones’ Men In Black 3 Box Office: Badly Trails Men In Black, Men In Black II Why the underwhelming (estimated) Men in Black 3 opening-weekend performance at the domestic box-office? Barry Sonnenfeld’s film has an acceptable 73% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics (with a so-so average rating of 6.3/10). In any case, movies such as Men in Black 3 are review-proof because people who go to big action / horror / trademarked movies / franchises on the first weekend usually don’t bother reading reviews. What then? Well, as mentioned in a previous article, one possibility is that Will Smith hasn’t made a movie in four years. And Smith’s pre-MIB3 release, the Gabriele Muccino-directed $55m-budgeted Seven Pounds, was a major box-office disappointment, grossing only $69.95m in North America. (Internationally, Seven Pounds performed better — though without reaching blockbuster status: $98.21m. »

Box Office: Men In Black 3 Way Behind Men In Black, MIB2
26 May 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Men in Black 3: Josh Brolin, Will Smith Starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, Men in Black III opened with solid though hardly outstanding figures at the North American box office on Friday. Directed by Men in Black / Men in Black II‘s Barry Sonnenfeld, the action / comedy / sci-fier will undoubtedly be this four-day weekend’s top-grossing movie — which means that after three weekends on top, The Avengers‘ reign at the domestic box office is over. But there’s no denying that MIB3‘s Friday performance fell below expectations, especially for a 3D movie budgeted at somewhere between $225m-$300m. Men in Black 3 collected $18m (including $1.55m from Thursday midnight screenings) at 4,248 theaters according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Bom’s Ray Subers predicts that Men in Black 3 will gross at least $70m — perhaps even reaching $80m — over the four-day weekend. Box-office prognosticators »

Box Office: Men In Black 3 Underwhelms
26 May 2012 3:08 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Men in Black 3: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones The summer season at the North American box office isn’t exactly opening with a bang. Men in Black III debuted with hardly outstanding figures in the Us/Canada on Friday. Directed by Men in Black / Men in Black II‘s Barry Sonnenfeld, and starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the action / comedy / sci-fier will undoubtedly be this weekend’s top-grossing movie — which means that after three weekends on top, The Avengers‘ reign at the domestic box office has ended. On the other hand, there’s no denying that MIB3‘s Friday performance fell below expectations, especially for a 3D movie budgeted at somewhere between $225m-$300m. Men in Black 3 collected $18m-$20m (including $1.55m from Thursday midnight screenings) at 4,248 theaters on Friday according to early, rough estimates found at Deadline.com. As per Deadline, that means a »

Cannes 2012: the festival courts mainstream cinema
17 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Beautiful A-listers hit the Croisette in support of the most Hollywood-friendly competition lineup in years
Glancing over the Cannes lineup from 20 years ago is a startling reminder of just how little that seemingly prestigious Official Selection badge matters in the long run: among the 1992 prizewinners, The Player and Howards End may still be with us, but when was the last time you were tempted to seek out and stick on Bille August's Palme d'Or winner The Best Intentions? Other selections have retained their cultural cachet, but lost their festival association: sex-lies-and-icepicks thriller Basic Instinct made its European premiere in the august competition lineup.
Whether such gleeful trash would make the grade today is doubtful; there certainly doesn't appear to be anything quite as lurid vying for the Palme this year. (Following Tuesday night's dismal After the Battle, an earnest blend of dressage and Egyptian feminist tract, I rather wish there was. »

Take a Closer Look at Pixar’s Brave
17 April 2012 2:21 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Brave will be out in June so Disney is cranking up the publicity machine. Here are some concept sketches to give you more of an idea about the filme, featuring Pixar’s first heroine.
Merida (Voice of Kelly Macdonald)
Passionate and fiery, Merida is a headstrong teenager of royal upbringing who is struggling to take control of her own destiny. She feels most at home in the outdoors honing her impressive athletic skills as an archer and swordfighter, and racing across the magnificent Highland countryside with her faithful horse, Angus. With a spirit as vibrant as her untamed hair, Merida also has a softness of heart, especially when it comes to her wee triplet brothers. As the daughter of the King and Queen, her life is weighted with responsibilities and expectations, causing her to yearn to preserve her freedom and independence. When Merida blatantly defies an ancient tradition, the consequences »

Emma Thompson Back As Gareth Peirce?
4 April 2012 3:53 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson may once again play human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce, according to Screen Daily. Nearly twenty years ago, Thompson played Peirce in Jim Sheridan's Academy Award-nominated In the Name of the Father (1993, right), in which she defended Daniel Day-Lewis and several others accused of being Ira terrorists. For her efforts — the accused are eventually released — Thompson earned a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nod. Despite sharing several elements with Sheridan's movie, this new project is not called In the Name of the Father 2 (or In the Name of the Mother, for that matter). Described as a romantic thriller, The Secret Evidence tells the story of "a young British couple mistakenly caught up in the war on terror who turn to Thompson’s character to get one of them out of prison. However, in fighting for her boyfriend’s freedom, the film’s young female lead finds »

2012 Oscar Predictions Best Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Vanessa Redgrave
23 January 2012 1:45 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jessica Chastain, The Help 2012 Oscar Predictions – Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Albert Brooks, Kenneth Branagh, Nick Nolte, Viggo Mortensen The list of potential Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nominees is nearly as long as the list of female cast members in Tate Taylor's socially conscious comedy-drama The Help. In fact, several The Help actresses are either likely or possible Oscar contenders. Much like in the Best Supporting Actor category, in which only Christopher Plummer is a true shoo-in for his role in Mike Mills' Beginners, the only shoo-in in the Best Supporting Actress category is The Help's Octavia Spencer, winner of a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award and BAFTA nominee. Now, how could North American critics' fave Jessica Chastain not be a shoo-in? Well, Chastain is a near shoo-in. Though not a strong probability, it's certainly possible that she won't get enough first/second place votes »
