First trailer for Last Vegas

16 May 2013 10:39 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Trailer Simon Brew 17 May 2013 - 06:38

Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Robert De Niro want to invite you to a party. Here's the trailer for Last Vegas...

Given that Hollywood comedies are being dominated - as are other genres, to be fair - by younger casts, we're liking the growing reversal of that trend. It's been led by action cinema, with the likes of Red and The Expendables. But one of the big worldwide hits of last year was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and that proved that not only is experience a real asset for comedy, but that audiences were happy to pay to watch a comedy with someone older than 40 in it.

Can Last Vegas repeat the trick, then? On paper, the cast here is a good one. It follows Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Robert De Niro as friends who throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their single friend. »

‘Last Vegas’ Teaser – Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman & More Do ‘The Hangover’

16 May 2013 12:48 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Combining the successful Hangover franchise and last year’s The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, CBS Films are hoping that their new comedy Last Vegas strikes an ideal chord with both demographics. Pairing Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline as four friends who head to Sin City for a bachelor party, we can’t fault these actors [...] »

FilmNation: Art, Commerce and Staying Alive

13 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

Five years ago, Glen Basner and Steven Samuels took a leap of faith and started sales company FilmNation as the world’s economy went into a nosedive.

“It was a terrible time to start,” Samuels admits. “Everyone was in a preserve-and- protect mode and wanted to get out of their obligations. The silver lining is that we wound up revisiting all aspects of our (business) plans.”

Basner agrees, emphasizing that FilmNation needed to be flexible to get past the past — mainly by backing a few less-than-obvious projects rather than the panic approach of going for volume.

We started to operate in different ways that made better sense for the new world order,” he says. “We were focused on having a diversified slate of films — a mixture of commercial wide-release films like ‘Sanctum’ and specialty films such as ‘The King’s Speech.’”

In the five years since FilmNation debuted, the movie business has undergone deep changes, »

Summer Indie Box Office Preview: The 15 Films With The Most Breakout Potential

7 May 2013 7:20 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

"Iron Man 3" kicked the summer movie season off to a very lucrative start this past weekend, grossing $175 million in just three days to find the second biggest opening weekend of all time. Comparatively, the first weekend of the indie box office's summer didn't have much on "Iron Man" (though a different man -- "The Iceman" -- had a nice debut). But that's clearly not the expectation. Grossing $10 million for an indie is essentially like grossing $100 million for a studio tentpole. Last summer, "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" and "Moonrise Kingdom" were huge breakouts, each grossing north of $40 million. For a specialty summer release, that's a huge number. Over the past ten years, the summer season has usually managed just one breakout $20 million-plus specialty hit. Fifteen summer specialty releases have hit that mark since 2003, and three of those came from last summer: "Marigold," "Moonrise" and, yes, "2016: Obama's America." So »

Iron Man 3 smashes his way to the top at the UK box office

2 May 2013 3:43 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

More like an Avengers Assemble sequel than a tired third instalment, the reinvigorated action hero powers in at No 1

The winner

As Disney prepared Iron Man 3 for release, the question was always: would it perform like the first two instalments in the Tony Stark series, or could it fly close to the astonishing success of The Avengers last summer? Iron Man opened in May 2008 with £5.47m including £667,000 in previews. Iron Man 2 followed two years later with £7.66m including previews of £877,000, an increase of 40%. Then April 2012 saw The Avengers soar away with £15.78m, including £2.55m in previews – more than double the Iron Man 2 debut.

With £13.71m including £2.32m in previews, Iron Man 3 is 79% up on the opening of Iron Man 2 and just 13% down on the equivalent number for Avengers. In other words, the film has performed more like a sequel to Avengers than to the Iron Man movies. »

Colin Firth, Adam Sandler & More Join Madden's 'Murdery Mystery'?

26 April 2013 11:13 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Well, this is certainly a strange assembly of talent. Charlize Theron is already attached to star in and produce self-explanatory comedy called Murder Mystery from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Shakespeare in Love director John Madden. And now she might be joined by some interesting American and British talent. THR reports Nrw Filmstifftung made a casting announcement saying Colin Firth, Emily Blunt and mediocre comedy giant Adam Sandler were all boarding the project, however, a few hours after the news surfaced, the company redacted their statement and took it off their funded project list. We're not really sure if the announcement was just premature, but representatives for Blunt and Firth have said the two are not involved in the project. That could just be damage control, or they might just be saying that if there's not a done deal. Either way, I like the sound of this project, and »

Should Movie Theaters Be More Boomer-Friendly?

18 April 2013 11:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Pay more attention to the baby boomers.

That was the message delivered to theater owners at a presentation Tuesday at CinemaCon, the official convention of the National Association of Theater Owners.

According to Deadline.com, Catherine Paura, CEO of Capstone Global Marketing and Research, told attendees that they shouldn't just focus on courting younger audiences -- they should instead think of older audiences

“Unlike past generations we have not stopped going to the movies," Paura said. "Young people, because of technology, because of the different ways they can entertain themselves, are not as habituated to going to the movies as the older generation.”

The number of people older than 50 who are going to movies grew last year, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. Looking at frequent moviegoers (those who go to the movies once a month or more), the MPAA found that the number jumped from 3.1 million to »

Mrs Brown's Boys dominated UK comedy sales during 2012.

Figures from Entertainment Retailers Association (Era) showed video game Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 to be the best-selling entertainment product of the year, but Brendan O'Carroll's sitcom dominated the comedy element of the top 40.

Mrs Brown's Boys: Series One came 11th in the list, with sales of 913,145. Mrs Brown's Boys: Series Two came 27th with sales of 670,956.

'Black Ops 2', 'FIFA 13' named biggest entertainment releases of 2012

12 March 2013 4:20 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and FIFA 13 were the biggest-selling entertainment products at UK retail in 2012, it has been revealed.

Both games sold more than 2.6 million units, beating Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises into third with sales of 1.69 million, according to Chart-Track and Official Charts Company data compiled by the Entertainment Retailers Association (Era).

The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn: Part One secured 1.5 million sales, while Emile Sande's Our Version of Events sold 1.44 million units.

Outside of the top-ten, Assassin's Creed 3 was the next biggest-selling video game with 886,198 sales, above the likes of Prometheus, Ice Age 4, 21 by Adele and Halo 4.

Commenting on the figures, Entertainment Retailers Association boss Kim Bayley said that 2012 was a tough year for entertainment.

"2012 was a tough year for entertainment due to a number of factors, but this sharp 25% shrinkage in sales of the biggest titles suggests that the quality of releases was at least partly to blame, »

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters tops the UK box office chart

6 March 2013 5:39 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

UK box office top ten and analysis for the weekend of Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd March 2013...

Director Tommy Wirkola's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters topped the UK box office in its first weekend, although it was hardly a fairytale opening for witch hunting siblings Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, with the action fantasy pulling in just £1,502,782, which included £400k from two days of preview screenings. Had it not been for these, then Disney's Wreck-It Ralph would have retained top spot, pulling in £1.4 million over the three day weekend to leave the CG-animated adventure sitting in second place with a solid £20.4 million after four weeks on screens.

Along with Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, four other new releases cracked the top ten this past weekend: Lasse Hallström-directed romance Safe Haven debuted behind Mama and A Good Day to Die Hard in fifth with £812,460; the Mark Wahlberg / Russell Crowe crime thriller »

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 »

Wreck-It Ralph batters Bruce Willis

27 February 2013 3:03 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Disney's Wreck-It Ralph maintains its momentum at the UK box office as half-term gave a lift to children's films

The winner

It lost the best animated feature Oscar to Disney stablemate Brave, but Wreck-It Ralph scored a victory at the UK weekend box-office. Takings for the film were almost the same as the previous weekend (£3.42m v £3.44m), as families slotted in a cinema visit before the end of school half-term. Over the 10 days of the school holiday (15-24 February), the video-game-themed adventure grossed an impressive £11.54m, for a total so far of £18.62m. Audiences will decrease now children are back at school, but Wreck-It Ralph should bump along for a few more weeks and is well placed to overtake the totals for 2012's Madagascar 3 (£22.74m) and Brave (£22.17m).

Wreck-It Ralph returns to the top spot after a weekend when preview takings had boosted the opening of A Good Day to Die Hard, »
