Sony Pictures Pushes Animated Popeye 3D Movie To 2015
11 May 2013 2:07 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
According to Box Office Mojo, Sony Pictures has pushed back its animated Popeye movie (which sees the iconic sailor man make his triumphant return to the big screen, complete with 3D). Originally set for a September 26th, 2014 release date, the adaptation will now hit theaters in an already crowded 2015. No specific date has been announced yet, but 2015 has plenty of competition in the form of The Avengers 2, Pirates Of The Caribbean 5, Star Wars: Episode VII, Finding Dory, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, and many more big films. Popeye will be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (who most recently helmed Hotel Transylvania for Sony Animation). Screenwriters Jay Scherick and David Ronn (The Smurfs) were hired to pen the script last year. Are you looking forward to this movie? Follow @PaulRomCBM »
New Aftershock One-Sheet Turns up the Tremor Terror
3 May 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
'Cabin Fever' and 'Hostel' helmer Eli Roth proves his triple threat status by penning, producing and performing in Chilean director Nicolas Lopez's upcoming horror thriller 'Aftershock'. The shake and quake thrill ride which from the red band trailer we peeked at earlier this week appears it'll be a nicely blood and gore infused experience. Radius TWC have unveiled a new poster which is sadly disappointing and a tad bland for our tastes but you can check it out below. Eli Roth, Ariel Levy, Nicolas Martinez, Lorenza Izzo, Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvart, Miguel Asensio and Selena Gomez ('Hotel Transylvania') all star. »
May 2013 Preview
1 May 2013 8:35 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
While the actual Summer season doesn't officially begin until late-June, the Summer movie season historically kicks off in the month of May. As usual, the studios have jam-packed the slate with would-be blockbusters, though the schedule is particularly competitive this year: no fewer than four movies are sequels to $200 million domestic grossers, which means all of these titles come with insanely high expectations. The biggest May ever came in 2011 ($1.04 billion), while last May was also quite strong with $1.02 billion. Based on the titles alone*Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover Part III, among others*May 2013 should set a new record, though it's possible that these movies cannibalize each other late in the month and the box office falls just short.May 3To officially start the season, Iron Man 3 is the only new release on the first weekend of May. The sequel opened in »

May 2013 Preview (cont.): 'Fast 6,' 'Hangover Part III' and More
1 May 2013 8:25 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
<< Continued from May PreviewMay 24Memorial Day weekend is always a busy one, but it's never been quite like this one. In one of the oddest showdowns in recent memory, Universal and Warner Bros. decided to go head-to-head with Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover Part III, two high-profile sequels targeting similar audiences. While it's impossible to say exactly how much cannibalization will occur, there's ultimately only so much money to go around, and this bizarre move probably won't help either movie.In that head-to-head matchup, Fast & Furious 6 does at least seem to have a pretty clear advantage. Its predecessor, Fast Five, easily became the highest-grossing entry in the franchise when it earned an impressive $209.8 million in 2011. It's also a fan favorite, which translates in to a lot of goodwill for the sixth entry. Universal wisely brought back all of the major cast members, and previews suggest that the outrageous vehicular action »

March Not Strong Enough to Salvage First Quarter of 2013
5 April 2013 5:26 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Coming off a truly terrible February, the box office rebounded a bit in March. Total domestic grosses came in around $828 million, which makes it only the third March ever to amass over $800 million. Still, it was off 12 percent from last March's record*that drop can be entirely accounted for with The Hunger Games effect*and year-to-date box office remains down 12 percent.Oz The Great and Powerful led the way in March with $198.4 million, which is more than twice as much as any other title. It got off to a very good $79.1 million start on the second weekend of the month, and that remains by-far the highest opening of the year so far. Unfortunately, through its first 24 days, Oz was around $95 million behind Alice in Wonderland, and it will close with over $100 million less. That'd be fine if it was doing great business overseas, but it's going to wind up with »

April Box Office Preview
3 April 2013 4:11 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Coming off an underwhelming first quarter at the domestic box office, it's unlikely that April 2013 will do much to turn things around. With only seven new nationwide releases*one of which is a 3D re-release*the major studios are mostly avoiding April, and that should translate to moderate grosses. April 2011, which had 13 nationwide debuts, holds the April record with $793 million, which is a figure that's completely out of reach for the upcoming month.April 5The first weekend of April features one remake and one re-release, and both are poised to do decent business. Jurassic Park 3D is the third major live-action 3D re-release following last year's Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace 3D and Titanic 3D. Both were modest domestic performers*Titanic was tops with $57.9 million*though Titanic at least proved that there can be major upside overseas. Specifically, the movie earned an incredible $145 million in China; while »

You'll Never Guess How Much Zombies Contribute to the Economy
2 April 2013 1:23 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
The almighty dollar rules all — even the reanimated and rotting sacks of flesh and bones known as zombies. They may be dead (mostly), but the fearful flesh munchers are a pop-culture cash cow that keeps on giving. Website Wish.co.uk created an infographic that breaks down "Zombie Economics." Over the past four years, the undead have generated $5.74 billion in revenue thanks to numerous films, TV shows, video games and more. As far as movies go, the website counts tales like Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as zombie flicks, which featured a zombified crew running Blackbeard's ship. The movie ranked as number one in terms of profit ($1,043,663,875). Zombieland, the Dawn of the Dead remake, Hotel Transylvania and Resident Evil: Afterlife also made the...

27 March 2013 8:09 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Selena Gomez is set to make her music comeback in just two weeks at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
Gomez will perform her new single, "Come & Get It," live at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, April 14, MTV News reported. She is slated to debut the song, written by Ester Dean and Stargate, just days earlier on "On Air With Ryan Seacrest."
"It is my first performance back as a musician," she told MTV. "I'm so nervous! I think it's really cool, 'cause I got to take a year off of music and really be a part of great movies and work with great people [...] I thought it would be perfect that I kind of got into music again through MTV and then the Movie Awards. So I thought it would be appropriate. I'm so stoked!"

Visionary animator Genndy Tartakovsky has been a creative force behind such popular series as The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory and Star Wars: Clone Wars.

Stewart Wins Two Kca Awards; Perry, Sandler Offer Words of Platitude
24 March 2013 3:51 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Stewart, Gomez, Bieber, Depp, Johnson win 2013 Kca trophies Kristen Stewart and Johnny Depp were among the movie category winners at this year's green goo-ish Kids Choice Awards. The Kca ceremony took place at USC's Galen Center, located just south of downtown Los Angeles, yesterday, March 23. Stewart was selected as the year's favorite movie actress and foremost female butt-kicker, apparently for her deeds in Bill Condon's Breaking Dawn - Part 2, the final movie in The Twilight franchise and in which the actress co-stars with fellow Twilighters Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Depp was the year's favorite movie actor for, gasp, Tim Burton's widely derided box-office bomb Dark Shadows, maybe? Omg, don't kids read box-office reports? (Pictured above: closeup of K. Stewart on this year's Kca red carpet.) Depp, who doesn't kick any butt (or crotch) and doesn't crush any skulls (that I can remember) in Dark Shadows, was bypassed in the male butt-kicker category. »
