134 New Names Invited to Join the Academy

1 July 2009 1:08 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Yesterday came the yearly announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it extended 134 invitations to several artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures" read the press release. Of course all of them can decline, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen as all who accept the invitation will be the only additions in 2009 to the Academy's roster of voting members. "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks." The list follows below and reading around the best analysis I saw of it came from Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience who, among other things, pointed out the addition of longtime Darren Aronofsky's

26 June 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | From Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news

Monterey Media has picked up Hurt, a gothic thriller written and directed by Barbara Stepansky, for release on November 17th, 2009! Sending chills down your spine as the story unfolds, Hurt seizes its audience in a macabre web of terror before revealing its twisted core.

The Coltrane family’s life has been devastated by an untimely death. Widowed Helen Coltrane (Melora Walters of Big Love), along with her teenage son (Jackson Rathbone of Twilight) and daughter, are given shelter by her reclusive and quirky gun-loving brother-in-law. As they grapple with the reality of their shattered, altered life and twist of fate, coincidence steps in with a seemingly lovely foster child (Sofia Vassilieva of Medium) who appears touting a story that Helen’s husband had pledged to take her in. And as they do, a macabre story of deception unfolds... Hurt, a taut, psychological thriller and character-driven family drama, was co-written by

Hollywood high on Miley, Bollywood in a Ditch

13 April 2009 12:47 PM, PDT | From India.com | See recent India.com news

Hannah Montana: The Movie doubled forecasts by earning Us$34 million worth of tickets at the Easter weekend box office in North America, as young fans of teen starlet Miley Cyrus rushed to see their heroine's first big-screen outing.

The movie ranks as the second-best Easter opening, following 2006's Scary Movie 4 with Us$40 million.

"Omgomg! my fans rock! the movie is doing great you guys!" Cyrus, 16, said in a Twitter message.

Disney had hoped Hannah Montana would perform in the same range as 2003's The Lizzie McGuire Movie, another big-screen vehicle for a Disney Channel star, in that case Hilary Duff. Lizzie... opened to $17.3 million in 2003, and ended its domestic run with $42.7 million. Last weekend's champion Fast & Furious slipped to No 2 with $28.8 million, taking the 10-day total for Universal Pictures' race-car thriller to $118.0 million.

Meanwhile 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Ssaat', 'Ek Se Bure Do' and 'Coffee House' all bombed at the Bollywood box office,

Weekend Report: 'Hannah Montana' Rules Easter Roost

13 April 2009 12:20 PM, PDT | From Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news

Moviegoers ponied up a sizable $32.3 million for Hannah Montana The Movie over the weekend, marking the second-highest grossing Easter debut ever behind Scary Movie 4. Hannah combined with Fast and Furious and Monsters Vs. Aliens led to the second busiest April weekend on record, behind last weekend, and a 40 percent bump in overall business from the same timeframe last year. Hitting approximately 4,200 screens at 3,118 venues, Hannah Montana rode past the debut of the franchise's previous movie, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour ($31.1 million at 683 3D sites), and outdrew the starting gross of the more comparable The Lizzie McGuire Movie by $15 million. According to distributor Walt Disney Pictures' exit polling, 79 percent of the audience was ...

Monday Morning Box Office Report: Hannah Montana Outmuscles Vin Diesel

13 April 2009 6:03 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

As expected, families flocked to theatres over the Easter long weekend to watch Miley Cyrus struggle with her pop star alter-ego Hannah Montana... a much more interesting proposition, apparently, than any of the other new releases on the big screen this week. The $34 million opening made it the second-highest Easter opening ever, behind Scary Movie 4. Fast & Furious and Monsters vs Aliens also did quite well, earning over $20 million each, while Jody Hill's Observe & Report only managed a disappointing $11.1 million. As for Dragonball Evolution, the movie flat out bombed, debuting with just $4.65 million and little hope of expanding on that in future weeks. 1. Hannah Montana: The Movie -- $34M 2. Fast & Furious -- $28.8M 3. Monsters vs Aliens -- $22.6M 4. Observe and Report -- $11.1M 5. Knowing -- $6.67M 6. I Love You, Man -- $6.41M 7. The Haunting in Connecticut -- $5.71M 8. Dragonball Evolution -- $4.65M 9. Adventureland -- $3.43M 10. Duplicity -- $3M

'Hannah Montana: The Movie' Rocks North American Box Office

12 April 2009 7:41 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news

Miley Cyrus has topped the North American box office once again with "Hannah Montana: The Movie". The teenage sensation once again displayed her domination on the chart after scoring big at the box office back in early 2008 with "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour".

This big screen adaptation of Disney's popular TV series "Hannah Montana" has debuted atop the box office, pulling in $32.3 million over the Easter weekend and exceeding the upper $20 million expectation. With the impressive bow, "Hannah Montana" has outsold Cyrus' "Best of Both World" concert movie, which collected $31.1 million upon its first weekend screening.

Outperforming another Disney's TV adaptation, Hilary Duff-starring "The Lizzie McGuire Movie", this Peter Chelsom-directed film has also nailed the second-biggest Easter weekend opener of all time, right behind "Scary Movie 4". Of the success, Disney's president of domestic theatrical distribution Chuck Viane said, "It caught us by surprise.
