Tom Cruise Back on Top with 'Oblivion'
21 April 2013 12:24 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As the only brand-new movie in nationwide release, sci-fi adventure Oblivion easily took first place with an estimated $38.2 million. Unfortunately, overall box office was down around 19 percent from the same frame last year, and it now appears that April 2013 will wind up about even with April 2012.Oblivion's $38.2 million start ($5.5 million in IMAX) is the highest non-sequel debut for star Tom Cruise since 2005's War of the Worlds, and it's his fifth-best ever behind that movie and the first three Mission: Impossible outings. It was a bit higher than 2002's Minority Report ($35.7 million), though with ticket price inflation it likely had noticeably lower attendance. Oblivion's solid (but not spectacular) opening can be attributed at least in part to smart scheduling. Bracing for the Summer box office season, studios typically avoid releasing big-budget fare during the month of April; Universal Pictures, however, successfully stretched the calendar in April 2009 and 2011 with Fast and Furious »

Box office report: 'Oblivion' reaffirms Tom Cruise's star power with $38.2 million debut
21 April 2013 10:53 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
If this weekend’s box office is any indication, the couch jumping stigma that has plagued Tom Cruise’s career for the better part of the last decade may finally be thing of the past.
Cruise’s latest, the $120 million sci-fi adventure Oblivion, opened to a solid $38.2 million this weekend. That’s a terrific start for the chiseled star, who has struggled recently at the box office with under-performers like Jack Reacher, Rock of Ages, Valkyrie, and Knight and Day. In fact, only four Cruise vehicles have ever opened higher — and three of them are Mission Impossible movies. (The other »

'42' Called Up to Box Office Big Leagues This Weekend
15 April 2013 3:01 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Jackie Robinson biopic 42 got off to a very strong start this weekend, while Scary Movie 5 wound up opening even lower than already-low expectations. The Top 12 earned $108.8 million, which was slightly up from the same weekend last year.42 took first place with $27.5 million from 3,003 locations. That's easily the best opening ever for a baseball movie ahead of The Benchwarmers ($19.7 million) and Moneyball ($19.5 million). It's also the second-highest opening for a sports drama behind 2009's The Blind Side ($34.1 million). Warner Bros. is reporting that the audience was 52 percent female and 59 percent over the age of 35, and all demographic groups awarded the movie a rare "A+" CinemaScore. Combine the older crowds with the great word-of-mouth and it's entirely possible that 42 winds up earning close to $100 million by the end of its run, which will make this a huge success for Warner Bros. and producer Legendary Pictures.At 3,402 locations, Scary Movie 5 opened in second place with $14.2 million. »

Weekend Box Office Report: Was Evil Dead More Alive than Scary Movie 5?
15 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
While Evil Dead struggled not to plummet like so many 3D Texas Chainsaws, Scary Movie 5 proved to be a franchise that probably wasn’t worth reviving. Funny; A Haunted House was a modest hit and Scary Movie 5 bombs.
Seems the Wayans Bros. finally got their revenge against Dimension.
Back in 2006, Scary Movie 4 opened to over $40 million. Seven years later, Scary Movie 5 could only lure in $15 million. Good enough for second place on a slow weekend dominated by a baseball biopic but lousy for a once highly profitable franchise.
Why is Scary Movie 5 such a dud? Did they wait too long between sequels? Was it the lack of franchise star Anna Faris? Did audiences already get their fill of horror movie spoofing with A Haunted House? Were viewers put off by a marketing campaign built around Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan? Whatever the reason may be, »

Box Office Report: 42 Hits a Home Run
14 April 2013 11:59 PM, PDT | movies.about.com | See recent About.com Hollywood Movies news »
42, the true story of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, knocked one out of the park over its opening weekend. Scoring the biggest opening weekend of any baseball movie, 42 far exceeded expectations, posting a $27 million box office take over its first three days in theaters. That start was good enough to earn the Warner Bros release the title of the biggest opening weekend for a baseball-related film in history, surpassing 2006's The Benchwarmers which posted a strong $19 million gross.
Meanwhile things weren't so happy for the powers-that-be behind the Scary Movie franchise. Minus Anna Faris, Scary Movie 5 tanked at the box office, managing only to scare up $15 million compared to Scary Movie 4's first weekend haul of $40 million.

14 April 2013 6:53 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Weekend Box Office: 42 Hits A Homerun, Scary Movie 5 Strikes Out
14 April 2013 2:56 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
No one really wanted Scary Movie 5. Seven years ago audiences turned out to give Scary Movie 4, what easily should have been the last one, a decent send off with a very respectable $40 million opening and a domestic total of $90 million. But some folks don't know when to let it go and audiences showed just how last decade the franshise is. The movie launched to the tune of $15 million, taking a distant second place at this weekends box office and setting a record low for the series, far below what most of the other Scary Movies entries enjoyed. We haven't seen Brian Helgeland behind the lens since his thriller The Order tanked almost ten years ago. But the director of A Knights Tale discovered his directorial second wind with the historical drama 42, the number one movie this weekend. The movie recounts the tumultuous events surrounding the signing of Jackie Robinson, »
Weekend Box Office Update
14 April 2013 1:31 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
42 easily won this weekend at the box office, earning an estimated $27 million. The baseball movie had the benefit of a modest budget and Harrison Ford has no problem drawing a crowd, so Warner Bros. should be happy with its performance.
On the other hand, Scary Movie 5‘s performance may leave the Weinsteins shaking their heads. Scary Movie 4 was released in 2006 and earned $40 million in its opening weekend. The fifth installment of the comedy franchise couldn’t even break the $20 million mark this time around, earning only $15.1 million and taking second place. This may signal the end of the franchise, or at least another long break.
It’s no surprise to see that Evil Dead is down at fifth place. Horror movies tend to be front-loaded, so they get most of the people interested in seeing the movie in the first week. Evil Dead has earned a total of »

Box office report: '42' knocks it out of the park with $27.3 million; 'Oblivion' huge overseas
14 April 2013 10:03 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Tomorrow, Major League Baseball will celebrate its annual Jackie Robinson Day, and all players and umpires will wear jerseys with the number 42, which Robinson, the first African-American player in the Mlb, made famous. Don’t be surprised if the execs at Warner Bros. join in on the fun. The studio did have a grand slam weekend, after all.
Warner Bros.’ new baseball drama 42 topped the box office with $27.3 million — far ahead of recent baseball titles like Moneyball ($19.5 million debut) and Trouble with the Curve ($12.2 million). In fact, 42 scored the best ever debut for a baseball film, surpassing The Benchwarmers’ $19.7 million bow. »

'42' Hits a Box Office Home Run
14 April 2013 9:13 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
The new Jackie Robinson biopic "42" hit a home run at the box office this weekend, earning an estimated $27.3 million according to Film.com to easily take the top spot.
Easily because this weekend's other new release, "Scary Movie 5," hit a weak popup to short, bringing in just $15.2 million for a second place debut. That doesn't sound too bad until you consider the fact that "Scary Movie 4," which came out way back in 2006, earned $40.2 million in its opening weekend. How the mighty have fallen.
It will be interesting to see whether or not "42" can maintain its momentum once it goes up against stiffer competition: Tom Cruise's sci-fi epic "Oblivion" is set to hit theaters this Friday. Until then, though, head over to Film.com for a look at this weekend's box office top ten.

Weekend Box Office: 42 Hits $27.2 Million for Record Opening; Scary Movie 5 a Distant Second
14 April 2013 9:05 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Jackie Robinson biopic 42 made history this weekend, scoring the all-time highest domestic opening for a baseball movie. From 3,003 locations, the film earned an estimated $27.2 million, or $7.5 million more than 2006’s Benchwarmers, the former genre title-holder. In second place, Scary Movie 5 earned $15.1 million from 3,402 runs, or just 37% of what Scary Movie 4 took in on this same weekend seven years ago. Title Weekend Total 1. 42 $27,250,000 $27.2 2. Scary Movie 5 $15,153,000 $15.1 3. The Croods $13,200,000 $142.5 4. G.I. Joe: Retaliation $10,800,000 $102.4 5. Evil Dead (2013) $9,500,000 $41.5 6. Jurassic Park 3D $8,820,000 $31.9 7. Olympus Has Fallen $7,283,000 $81.8 8. Oz the Great & Powerful $4,923,000 $219.4 9. Tyler Perry’s Temptation $4,500,000 $45.4 10. The Place Beyond the Pines $4,079,000 $5.4 If asked one week ago to rate the odds that 42 would score the highest debut ever for a baseball-themed feature, I would have laughed. And then I would have asked you what ‘42’ was. That’s because, until marketing for the film finally kicked in over the past few days, the biography of baseball legend Jackie Robinson had almost no visibility. »

'42' is Biggest Opening for a Baseball Movie Ever While 'Scary Movie 5' Flops into Second
14 April 2013 8:26 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
It's the start of the baseball season so it only makes sense 42 would be a hit, but it's also interesting to note the $27.2 million it opened with this weekend is actually the largest opening for a baseball movie ever, even when you adjust the numbers for inflation. With this kind of number the $40 million budgeted Jackie Robinson biopic is certainly looking to have long legs, especially considering an "A+" CinemaScore from opening day audiences and tomorrow being Jackie Robinson day in the Mlb. Look out $100 million, here we come. On the opposite end of the "good news" spectrum is Scary Movie 5, which was only budgeted at $20 million so we aren't talking about a huge disappointment here, but when you consider Scary Movie 4 opened with $40.2 million in 2006, the $15.2 million Scary Movie 5 opened with this weekend is not going to pack it and the "C-" CinemaScore says that even »

'42' leads, 'Scary Movie 5' sets new low for franchise in Friday box office numbers
13 April 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
It seems like audiences were interested in hearing a retelling of the life of Jackie Robinson, because viewers showed up in force to see the Harrison Ford-starring biopic "42" when it opened. That film clocked in an estimated $9.1 million on its opening day Friday (April 12).
Moviegoers weren't as kind to the other big film opening that day, as "Scary Movie 5" failed to make the splash that many were expecting. It only brought in $5.5 million on its first day of release, which is a new low for the horror spoof franchise. For some context, "Scary Movie 4" had a $19 million opening day, and even the "Scary Movie" knock off "A Haunted House" opened with $6.8 million back in January.
"Evil Dead" still clings to life, coming in third place with $3.2 million. The Dreamworks animated film "The Croods" brought in $3 million, leaving it only behind Dreamworks' "How To Train Your Dragon" by around $10 million. »

Box office update: '42' bats up $9.1 million Friday, earns rare 'A+' CinemaScore
13 April 2013 9:42 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Talk about hitting it out of the park!
The Jackie Robinson baseball drama 42 exceeded industry expectations on Friday, grossing $9.1 million during its first day in theaters. The film, a $40 million production from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, swung harder than other recent baseball flicks like Moneyball and Trouble with the Curve, which grossed $6.7 million and $4.2 million on their opening days, respectively.
Notably, 42 earned a rare “A+” CinemaScore grade from polled audiences, thereby joining the ranks of fellow crowd-pleasers like The Help, Tangled, The Blind Side, and Titanic. Strong word-of-mouth should drive business on Saturday and Sunday — the film will likely »

'42' Scores, 'Scary Movie 5' Bombs on Friday
13 April 2013 9:20 AM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
42 scored the best opening day ever for a baseball movie, while Scary Movie 5 showed some franchises are better left dead.The Jackie Robinson biopic debuted to an estimated $9.1 million from 3,003 locations on Friday. That's easily the best start ever for a baseball movie ahead of The Benchwarmers ($6.8 million) and Moneyball ($6.7 million). Assuming it has normal drops*and with an "A+" CinemaScore, there's no reason to expect otherwise*the movie is on pace for around $25 million for the three-day frame, which would make it the first baseball movie ever to open north of $20 million.In second place, Scary Movie 5 tanked with $5.5 million at 3,402 theaters. That sets a new low for the Scary Movie franchise behind Scary Movie 2 ($7.2 million), and is off 71 percent from Scary Movie 4's $19 million opening day at the same time in 2006. Finally, it's noticeably lower than January horror spoof A Haunted House ($6.8 million), which didn't have any brand recognition. »

Friday Box Office: Scary Movie 5 Strikes Out While Baseball Biopic 42 Makes History
13 April 2013 9:19 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
42 was the undisputed box office champ on Friday, earning an estimated $9.1 million from 3,003 locations. That puts the Jackie Robinson biopic on track for as much as $28 million through Sunday – a record opening for a baseball movie. From a box office perspective, America’s pastime has never been a huge draw. Benchwarmers set the genre record in 2006 with its $19.7 million debut and, in 2011, Moneyball was a close second with $19.5 million. 42 - the story of the man who broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 - was not originally expected to top $20 million. But then positive reviews met a flood of nostalgic news-coverage and the rest, as they say, is history. The debut of Scary Movie 5 was not-nearly as historic. From its debut in 3,402 locations, Scary Movie 5 earned an estimated $5.5 million. On this same weekend in 2006 Scary Movie 4 took in over $40 million; but after yesterday’s start, the fifth installment »

Thn’s Top Five Worst Movie Parodies

Yesterday, Scary Movie 5 oozed its way into cinemas and to celebrate… to acknowledge said release, we looked at the Top Five Movie Parodies (now see here) and it was a right laugh.
But today, we don’t just scrape the bottom of the barrel, we kick it over and investigate the turds beneath. For today, we look at The Top Five Worst Movie Parodies. We say five, there’s tons of them here, in fact the Top Three encompasses thirteen films.
This won’t be easy, so I just want to say good luck. And we’re all counting on you.
5. Not Another Not Another Movie

You may not have heard of this, but I can assure you it’s extraordinary. Nanam is a comedy about parodies, and while it could have been a scathing attack on the slew of awful ‘Movie’ movies (more on them »

Baseball Biopic Overperforming: Will Easily Top Domestic Weekend B.O. Chart
13 April 2013 2:28 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Baseball Biopic Surpassing Expectations: Will Easily Top Domestic B.O. Chart This Weekend Written and directed by Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential screenwriter), and starring Chadwick Boseman as pioneering black baseball player Jackie Robinson and veteran Harrison Ford as the Brooklyn Dodgers' team executive Branch Rickey, the biopic 42 was the no. 1 movie at Friday's domestic box office; it'll surely be the weekend's top film, too. As per early, rough estimates found on the web site Deadline.com, the period drama will be the only movie grossing more than $20 million at the domestic box office. (See below more information about Scary Movie 5 and last weekend's holdovers.) (Pictured above are an unrecognizable Ford as the Brooklyn Dodgers' team executive Branch Rickey and Boseman wearing Robinson's baseball uniform.) The 42 movie brought in an estiamted $8.5 million at 3,003 U.S. and Canada venues on Friday (April 12) and by Sunday evening may possibly »

And boy does she get through them. She's been everything from a distressed housewife to the Angel Gabriel; corporate lawyer to Narnian ice queen. But in personality terms, she's the complete opposite of a blank. Malleable though she may be, Swinton has ironically become her own trademark. »

Scary Movie 5 Review
12 April 2013 1:50 PM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
The Scary Movie franchise has grossed over $700 Million worldwide, with four movies in the bag (with only one being anyway funny) it’s now time to do what Hollywood can do best. And that’s jam another movie into a franchise on the grounds that it’s made money. I guess it does make good business acumen doesn’t it? Or maybe its just like a monkey throwing shit at a wall, some will stick! It’s been 7 years since Scary Movie 4 pointlessly appeared on cinema screens and now Scary Movie 5 is hitting cinemas. And so, is it any good? Well it follows the usual goof / parody layout. Get a bunch of crappy pop culture references in, throw in a few celeb cameos (Charlie Sheen / Lindsey Lohan) and attempt to parody a few recent ish horror movies. Oh and lets not forget a few gross out moments, just for good measure. »
