Box Office: Snow White And The Huntsman Overperforms
9 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Snow White and the Huntsman: Kristen Stewart / Snow White in Joan of Arc armor Snow White and the Huntsman‘s box office performance in North America on Friday, June 1, has far surpassed the expectations of both Universal Pictures and box-office prognosticators. Directed by Rupert Sanders, and starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman was expected to earn between $30m-$40m on its first weekend. But it now seems Swath may reach $55m after collecting an estimated $20.3m at 3,773 locations. Although that’s slightly down from the "roughly estimated" $21m reported last night, Swath‘s $20.3m is still more than the combined take of the next six movies on the domestic box-office chart, as pointed out by Box Office Mojo‘s Ray Subers. (For the record, the six runners-up are: Men in Black III, The Avengers, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, »

Box office update: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' leads with $20.3 mil on Friday; 'The Avengers' becomes third biggest movie of all time
14 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
No poison apple here. The action fairy tale Snow White and the Huntsman debuted to a solid $20.3 million on Friday, according to early estimates, and is headed for a $55 million weekend.
That should come as a relief to Universal Pictures, which released the floundering Battleship two weeks ago. The result is also a boon for star Kristen Stewart, who had yet to successfully open a movie outside the Twilight franchise. Still, Snow White arrived with a pricey $170 million budget, and will need to also perform admirably overseas to justify its cost.
The PG-13 film received an okay “B” rating from CinemaScore audiences, »

Friday Box-Office: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Big Domestically, 'Prometheus' Big Overseas
14 hours ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
After $1.3 million from midnight screenings and an estimated total of $20.3 million on Friday, Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman is looking very strong on its opening weekend. The film is currently targeting something like a $55 million three-day, but with a low 46% rating on RottenTomatoes and a middling "B" CinemaScore from audiences it could fall back slightly just as Men in Black III did last week. Snow White carries a reported $170 million budget and Universal lowered expectations throughout the week, but an absolute barrage of marketing including nearly every television station has apparently paid off. In second is last week's #1, Men in Black III, pulled in an estimated $8.1 million on Friday and is looking at something around $25 million for the weekend, which would mean a 54% drop from last weekend's $54 million opening as the film has clearly failed to catch on. Last week's other new opening, Warner's Chernobyl Diaries isn't fairing much better. »

Box Office: Snow White And The Huntsman Surpasses Expectations
21 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Snow White and the Huntsman: Charlize Theron / Ravenna Snow White and the Huntsman‘s box office performance in North America, if early estimates are accurate, has surpassed the expectations of both Universal Pictures and box-office prognosticators. Directed by feature-film newcomer Rupert Sanders, and starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman was expected to earn somewhere between $30m-$40m on its debut weekend. It turns out the period adventure fantasy may reach $56m after collecting an estimated $21m at 3,773 locations on Friday. The above early, rough estimates were found at Deadline.com. Once again, if accurate, that also means Snow White and the Huntsman is — at least on when it comes to opening weekends — a much bigger box-office hit than Men in Black III. And bear in mind that the Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones starrer, which debuted with $54.59m last weekend, »

'The Avengers' Accounts for Over Half of May 2012 Grosses
1 June 2012 4:35 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
May 2012 got off to a rollicking start when The Avengers opened to a record-breaking $207.4 million, though business quickly stalled from there. In fact, The Avengers wound up accounting for 52 percent of domestic earnings in May, which is easily a new record for highest monthly share ahead of 2002's Spider-Man (37.4 percent). Because the rest of the releases were middling at best, the $1.024 billion overall tally ranks second all-time in May behind last year's $1.038 billion.The Avengers was really the only major success story in May. The blockbuster not only set an opening weekend record, but also had the best second weekend ($103.05 million) and second-highest third ($55.6 million) and fourth ($36.7 million) weekends as well. Through four weeks in theaters, the movie has amassed an incredible $532.5 million at the domestic box office, which is by-far the highest four-week tally ever ahead of The Dark Knight's $454.7 million. In fact, on the first day of June »

This Week in Soundtracks – May 29 includes ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’
1 June 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Three new releases this week, though the material is not very new and unique.
Snow White and the Huntsman (Osc) by James Newton Howard
James Newton Howard returns with his second film score of 2012 (The Hunger Games was the first). Jnh’s signature style is definitely felt here, almost to the point where some tracks could be mistaken for other films. That being said, the sound does fit well with Snow White and the Huntsman. This is the darker, more action-packed of the two Snow White films released in 2012. Where Mirror, Mirror’s score is whimsical and fluffy, this one is more serious and plays to darker themes. Much of the score is calmly dramatic, but there are good action cues like “Escape from the Tower” and “Warriors on the Beach” that increases the pace. There are 19 tracks in total, all but two composed by Jnh. The others are songs »

Deaf Marlee Matlin Rallies For Theatre Changes
1 June 2012 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Deaf actress Marlee Matlin has urged cinema bosses in the U.S. to do more to make films accessible for customers with hearing disabilities.
The Oscar winner, who has been deaf since she was 18 months old, admits trips to the theatre are a nightmare for her family because there are never closed caption screenings in her local area.
In a column for the Chicago Sun-Times, she writes, "Traditionally, the film studios trot out their big movies (in the summer) to take advantage of all the kids and families looking for something to do. But for 35 million Americans like me who are deaf and hard of hearing, going to see a blockbuster like Men in Black 3 (sic) isn't quite so simple...
"More than likely, I'll end up watching Will Smith shoot aliens silently while doing my best to figure out what's going on, just like I've done countless times before. This is the summer dilemma for millions of Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing."
Matlin, the spokesperson for America's National Association of the Deaf, is calling for executives to roll out special glasses that enable deaf moviegoers to enjoy blockbusters with general audiences.
She adds, "The technology is there; Sony... provides what are called Access Glasses - a wi-fi pair of specs that show subtitles in the glasses - for any movie playing in digital formats at the theater so as not to interfere with other moviegoers' normal viewing. But Sony is only making 500 pairs a month. At that rate, I might be able to see Men in Black 24 when it comes out in 2019.
"And isn't that a shame? Because not only would it be the right thing to do, it would mean a lot of tickets and $5 popcorn that they could be selling." »

Fearless Forecast: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Slays the 'Men in Black 3'
1 June 2012 7:10 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Honestly, this chick is waaayy 'fairer' than Kirsten Stewart. Stewart is as appealing as a pencil
Last week we saw the fall of a great film, box-office wise. The Avengers was beat out by the third Men in Black film by a few million bucks, so it wasn’t an all out beating. This week, I’m going to say that Snow White and the Huntsman is going to win this weekend, but not by much. Two out of the three stars in Huntsman, have been in films, recently, that have broken some box-office records. I shouldn’t have to explain myself as Kirsten Stewert and Chris Hemsworth are names that speak for themselves. »

Last weekend, "Men in Black 3" finally ended the box-office domination of "The Avengers," which saw the superhero team-up movie smashing world records with the combined might of Thor's hammer, Captain America's shield, Iron Man's snarky wit and the Hulk's green fists. During this MTV Movie Awards weekend, "Snow White and the Huntsman" will do battle against them both, with "Thor" himself, Chris Hemsworth, in one of the title roles alongside Kristen Stewart, best-known for a little franchise called "Twilight."
Will Stewart's vampire fanatic fanbase focus their attention on "Snow White"? Will Thor's Asgardian thunder rain down more box-office coin in this role? Keep in mind this isn't the first "Snow White »

Box Office Predictions: Snow White And The Huntsman To Be The Fairest Snow White Of Them All
31 May 2012 7:37 PM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Will we get a new top earner at the box office? Most certainly. With zero wide release competition, Snow White and the Huntsman should have no trouble posting a $10,500 per theater average for a solid $40 million start, similar to 2010′s The Last Airbender. While Men in Black 3 will certainly stay on top of The Avengers, the gap will close. Should Men in Black‘s weekend one profits get slashed in half and The Avengers only lose 40%, the former will post $27 million while the latter will take $22 million. Battleship will lag far behind, losing 50% in the move from weekend two to three, leaving it with [ Read More ] »

'Men In Black 3' Gets Censored In China
31 May 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Men In Black 3" has already earned over $212 million in global grosses, including more $21 million in China -- the highest-grossing territory for the Sony film outside of the United States.
Unfortunately for Chinese ticket buyers, they haven't actually seen "Men In Black 3" -- at least in full.
Thirteen minutes of "Men In Black 3" were cut out of the film by the Chinese government.
According China's Southern Daily newspaper (via The Telegraph), a large section of "Men In Black 3" was discarded by officials because of how it portrays the government's position on Internet censorship. (Censorship about censorship -- it's all very meta.)
The offending scene takes place in New York City's Chinatown, and features Agent J (Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) fighting with a bunch of disguised aliens. As is "Men In Black" franchise custom, when the battle stops, innocent bystanders -- in this case, a »

Box-Office Oracle: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Hope to Axe the Competition
31 May 2012 12:36 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
June 24, 2005. That was the last time we witnessed a June weekend with the potential to be this bad, with the top 12 earning a paltry $120 million. The reasons are simple. Men in Black is a franchise on the wane, Snow White and the Huntsman is frickin' terrible, and everyone has already seen The Avengers. After that, there's only indies with promise, nowhere near wide enough to make a dent in the box office. It's a sad situation, but we're here to break it down. Let's do so. Laremy predicted the #1 movie correctly 4 Weeks In A Row Snow White and the Huntsman One of the great lies of our time is that the Twilight crowd scales for non-Twilight films. "Well," everyone says, "this will pull in the Twilight crowd." Uh, no, it won't. How can we tell? Because the last Twilight film opened $100 million higher than this.

Everything’S Coming Up Marigolds For Fox Searchlight
31 May 2012 10:46 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
Fox Searchlight’s The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which has done gangbuster business overseas — it has taken in $81.2 million abroad — brought its domestic total to $19.4 million on Tuesday, thereby crossing the $100-million mark at the worldwide box office. It is currently playing on just 1,233 screens in North America — about a quarter of the number of screens showing Men in Black and The Avengers – and with no IMAX or 3D sales to inflate its ticket sales. No matter. It has been coming in third in ticket sales, behind Mib and Avengers, on a per-theater basis. The film, featuring a plethora of older British actors, including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, and Bill Nighy, tells the story about a group of older English pensioners who seek to retire at what they are led to believe is an upscale hotel in India. »

Skip or Double Dip: Are New Blu-rays of 'Men in Black,' 'Lethal Weapon,' 'Dirty Dancing' and More Worth It?
31 May 2012 9:30 AM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Men in Black Men in Black III just opened in theaters to the tune of $69 million this Memorial Day weekend, so it was inevitable that Sony would want to cash in on renewed interest in the 1997 sci-fi original starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as two secret government agents that monitor extraterrestrial activity on earth. Men in Black made its Blu-ray debut way back in June 2008. What's New?: This Men in Black double dip offers the same very good video and audio quality as the previous release as well as the same set of extras, most of which were just ported over from the previous DVD releases. New to this release is an Ultraviolet digital copy so you can stream the movie to compatible devices as well as up to $10 in movie cash to see Men in Black III in theaters. Skip...
