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

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.

'The Marriage Plot' To Be Adapted For Film
18 May 2012 7:20 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
From World & Film
Hollywood seems to be getting serious in its on-again, off-again romance with the nineteenth-century novel. Things started heating up late last year when director Joe Wright (“Atonement”) fast-tracked his high-gloss production of “Anna Karenina.” Then came “Submarine” director Richard Ayoade’s very promising cinematic rendering of Dostoyevsky’s "The Double," starring Mia Wasikowska, who’s suddenly become the redux romantic heroine of choice with her finely calibrated performance in last year’s gothic iteration of “Jane Eyre” and her upcoming title role in the upcoming adaptation of Flaubert’s "Madame Bovary", which added Ezra Miller, the creepy kid from “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” to its talented cast earlier this week.
Now it seems that romantic novels may have upgraded to “trending” status — a distinction that places the last century’s literary giants in dubious company alongside the likes of “The Avengers” and John Travolta’s »

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 »

Pride and Prejudice and YouTube
10 April 2012 2:08 PM, PDT | Tubefilter.com | See recent Tubefilter News news »
Quirk Books editor Jason Rekulak developed an ingenious literary idea in 2009. Take a classic novel beloved by individuals around the world that all of them remember reading and/or avoiding reading in their sophomore year English classes. Make sure whatever novel you took is also in the public domain. Then mash up your chosen novel with an unexpected genre that has a particular appeal in western pop culture. That was his equation for the internet beloved and mainstream media liked Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and that title’s spiritual sequel Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. An adaptation of that equation also factored into Pride and Prejudice and Zombies’ writer Seth Graham-Smith’s subsequent work, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And another adaptation of that equation is the driving force behind Hank Green (who’s one half of the incredible Vlog Brothers) and Bernie Su's (who’ behind the Streamy Award-winning original web series, »

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 »

Munsters Reboot Casts its Poor Marilyn
2 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
If you’ve ever seen an episode of the 1960s half hour horror comedy The Munsters, you will know that every family member is horrifically creepy, except for one: Lily Munster’s niece “poor Marilyn,” whom the rest of the family pitied for her unfortunate lack of awfulness. The non-horror world of course found her quite attractive.
Deadline is reporting that Bryan Fuller‘s (Pushing Daisies) reboot of The Munsters for NBC, hour-long drama Mockingbird Lane, has now cast its “poor Marilyn”, and she is appropriately lovely. Her name is Charity Wakefield (The Raven, Sense and Sensibility), and as you may have guessed from her first name, she’s British. Since the actor playing Grandpa, Eddie Izzard, is also British, might we hope to hear some lovely accents? Doubtful, but we can always hope.
Her character is said to be a courteous college student who often butts heads with fedora-wearing womanizer vampire Grandpa Munster, »

25 Potential 2013 Best Picture Oscar Contenders
5 March 2012 10:16 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Update: I've already realized I forgot to add Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly and John Hillcoat's The Wettest County to this list. That would make 27. I haven't yet gotten around to cleaning up "The Contenders" section of the site just yet and while some may argue it's too early to look toward the 2013 Oscars considering we just closed the book on the 2012 Oscar ceremony I have to kindly disagree. If for no other reason, looking at films that might be vying for Best Picture next year we get to sort through a bunch of films that may end up being considered the year's best. What's wrong with that? Granted, as is often the case when looking this far into the future, several of these films may end up being duds. Some may not actually hit theaters in 2012 (though most do have established release dates) and others just might »

Obama And The Oscars: Predicting Election Results From Award Shows
1 March 2012 2:17 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
This just in: President Obama will be re-elected president in 2012.
At least, that's what the newly discovered Academy Awards/Golden Globes Rule suggests.
With only two exceptions over the past 50 years, a Democrat has won the White House when the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Drama) and the Oscar for Best Picture have not gone to the same film. When the same picture takes both honors, a Republican wins.
This year, "The Descendants" won Best Motion Picture (Drama) at the Globes, and "The Artist" won Oscar's Best Picture. (Full disclosure: "The Artist" also won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical).)
CNN's OutFront blog spotted the pattern (and yes, even they float the question of whether or not they have too much time on their hands), and the details are pretty intriguing. Of the two times the rule failed to hold true, one can be »
