Box Office: Man Of Steel Opens With Super $21M In Thursday Night Showings
14 June 2013 7:32 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Despite rather mixed reviews, Man Of Steel is guaranteed to be one of the highest grossing films of the year. Predictions for the film's opening weekend have been all over the place, with Warner Bros. predicting $80M and box office observers expecting $85-100M (if not more). Now, the Zack Snyder-directed reboot has taken in a super (pun intended) Thursday night gross. Man Of Steel opened in midnight showings with $9M, and combined with WB and Walmart's special screenings taking in $12M, the movie has made $21M last night. This is higher than Iron Man 3's $15.6M gross when the Marvel threequel opened last month, and this brings Steel in third place on the highest late-night grosses list (behind Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2's $43.5M and The Dark Knight Rises' $30.6M). Of course, this is fantastic news for DC Comics fans, as Man Of Steel »
Paramount & MGM Begin Production on Hercules
10 June 2013 12:51 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Founded in 2007, Radical Studios is a multimedia company that incubated comic books for exploitation in other forms. Among their earliest releases was Hercules, boasting a Steranko cover, and it came with high production values and a bit of a buzz., The character returned for a second miniseries in and this interpretation captured Hollywood’s fancy. After years in development, production on the movie adaptation began today. Thew film enters a crowded summer 2014, especially for super-hero films, coming after Captain America: The Winter Solider and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and just before X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy (raising the question whether or not four Marvel Universe films in five months will reach the saturation point).
Here’s the formal release:

Brett Ratner’s ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’ Begins Filming!
10 June 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Brett Ratner’s down to Earth Hercules adaptation, starring Dwayne Johnson, has started principal photography. The film is based on the graphic novel ‘Hercules: The Thracian Wars’, and explores the man behind the myth, in a similar way to 2004′s King Arthur, removing all talk of magic and gods. See below for the complete press release.
I like the idea of removing magic from magical stories, but it can also just be a bit of a gimmick as well as showing the story as being pretty boring. What next? The legend of St. George where he slays, not a dragon, but a gecko? Or perhaps we’ll see Harry Potter as a wizard…a Maths wizard that is!
Hercules: The Thracian Wars is released 25th July 2014. It stars Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Joseph Fiennes, Aksel Hennie, Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, and Rebecca Ferguson.

5 May 2013 7:15 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Iron Man 3 rockets to the top! If there was any question whether Marvel's characters could draw crowds in solo adventures post-avengers, it was answered this weekend in full force as Iron Man 3 hammered box office records with a $175.3 million opening. That staggering domestic debut zips past the $169.1M opening of the previous #2 record holder Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2, but it stalled short of the colossal first weekend of Marvel's own »

28 April 2013 3:59 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Iron Man 3: Nearly $200m at the international box office Forget the North American box office — this weekend, all eyes have been on the international market, where Iron Man 3 opened to the tune of $195.3m according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. If that figure is accurate, it almost matches the film’s gargantuan (reported) $200m budget (not including marketing and distribution expenses which could easily add another $100m or more). Directed by Shane Black, and starring Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Iron Man 3 opens in North America next weekend. (Photo: Robert Downey Jr., one assumes, in his Iron Man suit.) Iron Man 3‘s biggest international markets were the following: the U.K. with $21.5m, South Korea with $19.2m, Australia with $18.4m, Mexico with $16.1m, France with $14.7m, Brazil with $12.3m, and Italy with $11.2m.

25 April 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
"Iron Man 3" is already outpacing its predeccessors and it hasn't even opened domestically yet. The soon-to-blockbust film opened in 12 countries this past Wednesday, raking in $13.2 million dollars already. The film broke opening day records in Taiwan and the Philippines, and opened managed to open bigger in France than "Marvel's the Avengers" did last year. Considering how aggressively "The Avengers" dominated movie theaters last summer, that's a mighty accomplishment.
Check out the film's international grosses below!
» France - $3.M
» Italy - $2.1M)
» Australia - $3.4M
» Taiwan - $1.4M
» Philippines - $1.5M
» New Zealand - $600K
Deadline points out that 79% of the international box office opens this coming weekend, and it's not crazy to expect "Iron Man 3" to haul in anywhere from $110 - $125 million dollars. The film is currently tracking for at least a $150 million opening weekend domestically, which would put the film just outside the top five biggest opening weekends ever. »

In Undying, we get another spin on zombies. This time it’s a post-apocalyptic Mad Max-like setting for the undead monsters. The movie comes from the Butler Brothers of Wasteland Weekend and posits zombies as the hero. Greg Butler, the co-director, was a visual FX supervisor on Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, The Lord Of The Rings and Starship Troopers. The project is on Kickstarter and looking for your help.
The film stars Anthony De Longis and Kyara Tyler, with SyFy’s Face/Off contestant Eric Fox doing the zombie makeup and prosthetics. From $1 and up, you’ll get goodies for supporting this venture. At $10 you get a digital Undying wallpaper, or throw down $4,000 and get a featured death scene in the movie, with all kinds of fun stuff inbetween the two thresholds, including a zombie makeover for 2 from Eric Fox.

31 March 2013 9:16 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
Genevieve Buechner has joined the cast of The Dark Place, playing the key role of Wendy Luckenbill, the local tavern’s prettiest waitress who hides not-so-pretty secrets, ones that may hold either the best hope to Keegan’s salvation, or the key to his downfall. Buechner, a Vancouver based actress, was also seen in Judas Kiss, but is mostly known up north for her various roles on TV, including American series that have filmed there including, Caprica, Fringe and The Killing.
Now we know that the Fiftieth Anniversary episode (movie?) of Doctor Who will have at least one previous actor who played the Doctor. The BBC confirmed on Saturday –after subscribers received their copy of Doctor Who Magazine that listed the guest-stars of that story, five days earlier than the Beeb had planned- that David Tennant will reprise the role, the first time since he passed the torch to Matt Smith »

Dead at 65: Harry Potter Actor Famous for Playing Gay Teacher in Stage Hit
29 March 2013 7:41 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
British stage, film and television actor Richard Griffiths died yesterday due to complications in the aftermath of heart surgery at Coventry hospital. He was 65 years old. Though best remembered for his performance as Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter flicks, Griffiths was a well-respected name on the British stage, having won a number of awards ( Tony. Laurence Olivier, and Drama Desk awards.) for playing a free-spirited gay teacher -- who likes his male teenage students a tad too much -- in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys. (Pictured above: Griffiths in the film version of The History Boys, co-starring Dominic Cooper.) Griffiths was also a well-regarded movie actor -- though not as a result of his work on the Harry Potter movies. His prestige lay on his work on low-budget, independently made British efforts such as Nicholas Hytner's outstanding film adapation of The History Boys (released in 2006) and »
