Smith In? Stewart Out? Stars Keep Getting In and Out of Focus
17 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Smith to Become Stewart's Next Leading Man? Please scroll down for a fully revised version of this article, following conflicting information from Variety's Justin Kroll and former Variety columnist Jeff Sneider, currently writing for TheWrap. Here's the original version of the piece: Kristen Stewart may have a brand new leading man, in case a Variety report as fully accurate. After former leading man Ben Affleck's departure earlier this year (more details here), Stewart was left all alone in writer-directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra's Focus, the story of a young and inexperienced con woman who becomes attached to an older, more experienced con man. A Warner Bros. release (in case all goes well), the project was supposed to have begun filming this month (see more details here). (Pictured above: Smith in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming sci-fier After Earth, co-starring his son Jaden) According to the Variety article on Smith's casting, »

Sony Will Remake Korean Drama ‘New World’
11 April 2013 3:55 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Sony Pictures has bought the rights to the Korean crime drama New World, and plans on making a good ol’ American remake. They’ve hired “hot” screenwriter Will Fetters to write the script, with Roy Lee, Dan Lin and Jon Silk.
Fetters’ has mostly written adaptations for Nicholas Sparks novels (Remember Me, The Lucky One), but he also wrote Clint Eastwood’s (as yet starless) remake of A Star Is Born and Crazy for the Storm, which Sean Penn is set to direct.
In the original film after “a mob boss is gunned down, an outright battle ensues among several mobsters who want to succeed him. One of them is an undercover cop.”
The deal for New World is said to be in the high six figures.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters captures top spot
6 March 2013 2:40 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Thanks to preview takings, the fairytale-themed action flick kicks Wreck-It Ralph into second place, while Mama is a spooky third
The battle for the top spot
For the second time in its four-week run, Wreck-It Ralph has been forced to yield the top spot to a film it actually out-grossed over the weekend period. Thanks to preview takings on Wednesday and Thursday, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters sits in pole position in the official UK box-office chart, with five-day grosses of £1.50m. Strip out the previews, and the tally falls to a less-lofty £1.10m. The last time this happened was two weeks ago, when previews for A Good Day to Die Hard earned the action flick the top position, despite lower takings than Wreck-It over the actual weekend period.
With the half-term holiday ending the previous weekend, Wreck-It Ralph fell by a predictably hefty 59%, but Disney will be more than happy »

'Identity Thief' Tops Abysmal February
1 March 2013 5:32 PM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
While a poor start to the year doesn't necessarily doom the year as a whole, things aren't looking good so far in 2013. Total domestic box office in February came in at around $617 million, which makes it the lowest-grossing February since 2002. That figure is off a massive 24 percent from last year's record-setting $818 million, and also down over 10 percent from 2008-2010. The terrible performance is a result of weak holdovers from January combined with a February slate made up mostly of underperformers. There was only one major hit (Identity Thief) and two minor ones (Warm Bodies and Safe Haven), and that just isn't enough to keep the box office afloat in comparison to a record-setting 2012.Identity Thief led the way in February with an excellent $97.7 million through its first 22 days. It took first place on its first and third weekend, and nearly beat A Good Day to Die Hard on its second one. »

Josh Duhamel: 'You Don't Want To Be Another Pining Dude'
28 February 2013 5:35 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
After the success of 'The Notebook', 'Dear John', 'The Lucky One', actor Josh Duhamel could have been forgiven for signing up to anything from the pen of uber-author Nicholas Sparks. He says he thinks he would have resisted...
"I would like to think I'm more selective than that," he laughs in London.
"I admire the guys who have done these movies before, it's flattering to be asked, but you don't want to be another pining dude. I did like that there was a darker edge to 'Safe Haven'.
"At first I wasn't sure if there was much I could do, but I worked really hard and changed some stuff from the book. And Nicholas Sparks just let me go, saying, 'whatever you do, don't make him boring.'"

Identity Thief Steals Box Office Top Spot From The Rock and Felicity
24 February 2013 2:51 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
A weak pair of debuts and return of The Rock proved to be no match to Universal's hit comedy Identity Thief as the Melissa McCarthy flick regained the top spot at the North American box office on Academy Awards weekend. Bad weather across the country and a stale selection of multiplex offerings added up to a weekend that saw business dip 20% below last year at this time.
After narrowly being defeated by A Good Day to Die Hard last weekend, Identity Thief reclaimed the throne with a $14.1 million estimate on 3,222 screens in its third round, an audience erosion of approximately 40%. To date, the Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy comedy has earned a great $93.7 million and should cross the $100 million mark by next Friday. Depending on how well it holds in the upcoming weeks, Identity Thief should wind down its theatrical haul near the $130 million mark.

Weekend Report: 'Identity Thief' Steals Back the Top Spot on Quiet Weekend
24 February 2013 12:35 PM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As widely expected, the final weekend of February was another dour one, which brings to an end an extremely disappointing month at the box office. With Sunday's Academy Awards serving as a distraction for many moviegoers, newcomers Snitch and Dark Skies both got off to middling starts. As a result, 2013's first major hit Identity Thief moved back in to the lead in its third weekend.The top 12 earned $88.3 million this weekend, which is down 22 percent from the same weekend last year.Identity Thief fell 41 percent to $14 million this weekend. Through 17 days, the Jason Bateman-Melissa McCarthy comedy has earned $93.6 million, which makes it the highest-grossing movie of 2013 ahead of Django Unchained ($90.5 million). By Friday, Identity Thief will become the first 2013 movie to pass $100 million, and it should have little difficulty matching director Seth Gordon's Horrible Bosses, which ended its run with $117.5 million. Snitch opened in second place with $13.2 million from 2,511 locations. »

Friday Report: 'Snitch' Barely Beats 'Identity Thief'
23 February 2013 11:33 AM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
At the start of another slow weekend at the box office, Snitch narrowly took first place ahead of strong holdover Identity Thief. For the weekend, though, it looks like the Jason Bateman-Melissa McCarthy comedy will make its way back to the top spot.Snitch debuted to a modest $4.14 million from 2,511 locations yesterday. That's way better than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Faster, which opened the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2010 and only mustered $3.5 million through its first two days. It's also around twice as much as recent tough guy disappointments like Parker ($2.15 million), The Last Stand ($2.03 million), and Bullet to the Head ($1.74 million). Still, the movie is only projected to earn around $11.5 million this weekend, which is nothing to write home about.In second place, Identity Thief fell 37 percent to an estimated $4.1 million (or around $40,000 less than Snitch). Universal is projecting a weekend gross north of $13 million, which will be good for first place. »

Romantic Sparks Fly As Studios Woo Nicholas Sparks For ‘The Longest Ride’
20 February 2013 11:41 AM, PST | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Hot book on the block today. The Longest Ride, the new novel by Nicholas Sparks, is in play today, and it will most assuredly mean a big seven-figure deal with several studios and producers/financiers lining up for the author’s latest romantic weeper. This comes days after the author of The Notebook, Message In A Bottle and A Walk to Remember and The Lucky One saw his most recent novel adaptation, Safe Haven, nearly beat out A Good Day To Die Hard in their respective opening weekends. I’m told that when UTA starts entertaining presentations by buyers, they will make it clear that the goal is to have the movie ready for Valentine’s Day 2015 release. The book is divided into two intertwining love stories. It opens with a 90-year old man snowbound and stuck in his car after a major crash on an isolated road. As he »

Box office report: 'Die Hard' holds off 'Safe Haven' with $25 million; 'Beautiful Creatures' has ugly debut
17 February 2013 9:39 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Bruce Willis’ return as John McClane, A Good Day to Die Hard, topped the box office over the Friday-to-Sunday period, but with a weaker-than-expected $25 million. Fox’s $92 million thriller, which also stars Jai Courtney (pictured, right), earned $8.2 million on Thursday, its first day of release, and after four days, it’s earned $33.2 million. That’s a substantially weaker start than 2007′s Live Free or Die Hard, which started with $33.4 million in its opening three-day weekend.
Die Hard’s middling performance isn’t a total surprise. This has been a remarkably tough winter for male-driven action vehicles, many of which star members of The Expendables. »

Box office preview: 'Die Hard' gunning for No. 1 over holiday weekend
14 February 2013 5:36 PM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
It’s a double-holiday weekend at the box office, with Valentine’s Day on Thursday and President’s Day on Monday, and three films (A Good Day to Die Hard, Safe Haven, and Beautiful Creatures) are taking advantage of the five-day frame (Weinstein is also releasing Escape from Planet Earth on Friday). Here’s how the busy frame may play out over the Friday-to-Monday period:
1. A Good Day to Die Hard – $47 million
Five years after Live Free or Die Hard scored $134.5 million, Bruce Willis is back as John McClane in a fifth installment in the enduring action franchise — this time with random Cold War overtones! »

Forecast: Fifth 'Die Hard' Should Blow Up Presidents Weekend
14 February 2013 3:42 PM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
After a few very slow weeks at the box office, four new nationwide releases should help bolster business over the long Presidents Day weekend. Among the Valentine's Day openers, A Good Day to Die Hard*which is the fifth entry in the decades-old franchise*should have no problem claiming the top spot, though Nicholas Sparks adaptation Safe Haven and fantasy adaptation Beautiful Creatures are also poised to do well. Animated feature Escape From Planet Earth also lands in theaters this weekend, though it's unclear if family audiences even know it's coming out.The Die Hard franchise has been a consistent box office performer since its inception nearly 25 years ago. The first movie*which is widely considered one of the best action movies ever*earned $83 million, which made it the seventh-highest-grossing movie of 1988. Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Die Hard: With A Vengeance weren't as widely liked, but they both »
