Box Office: Snow White and the Huntsman (photo, Kristen Stewart). Trailing both Ridley Scott / Michael Fassbender / Noomi Rapace’s Prometheus and the 3D animated feature Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman took in $7.5m on Friday in North America as per studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. That’s down a hefty 63% compared to its opening day a week ago. [See also Box Office: Prometheus / Madagascar 3.] Starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth, and Sam Claflin, Snow White and the Huntsman was expected to reach $26m for the weekend, thus passing the $100m milestone in North America after only 10 days. Now it remains unclear whether or not Swath will reach that mark by Sunday evening, as its Friday gross was about 8% less than early estimates indicated. On the positive side, Snow White and the Huntsman was up 84% on Friday compared to the day before. Apart from the expanded Moonrise Kingdom,...

Prometheus film Box office: Prometheus movie vs. Madagascar 3. Assisted by savvy marketing, excellent business at IMAX locations, and 3D surcharges, Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, a prequel of sorts to Scott’s 1979 sci-fi / horror classic Alien, is off to a strong start at 3,396 theaters in North America. Slightly behind on Friday, the 3D-propelled animated feature Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is expected to top the weekend at 4,258 locations. Including $3.56m at Thursday midnight screenings, the R-rated Prometheus is expected to gross $21m on Friday as per Deadline.com. That’s slightly more than the Kristen Stewart / Charlize Theron / Chris Hemsworth 2D, PG-13 adventure fantasy Snow White and the Huntsman‘s $20.46m (including a more modest $1.38m at midnight screenings) at 3,773 locations last week. Both movies have about the same running time. As per Deadline, Prometheus is expected to reach $55m by Sunday evening, thus ending a little behind...

If you missed it the first time ’round, the trailer for “The Possession” (above) is definitely worth a look. I’m frankly surprised it’s a PG-13 horror movie. It looked way harder-edged than that. I guess this is what Unrated DVDs were made for. In any case, check out a new poster for the film below. Based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a...

Starz has ordered to series Da Vinci’s Demons, an adventure/historical fantasy piece written by David S. Goyer, the co-writer of Batman Begins/The Dark Knight and writer of the upcoming Man of Steel.
Previewing his plan for Leonardo, Goyer said in a statement, “Da Vinci was the original Renaissance man — a near-mythic figure that has worldwide appeal. After working with characters like Batman and Superman, it made a strange kind of sense for me to dive into the facts and legends swirling around his origins.
“This will be a show about secret histories, genius, madness, and all things profane,...

Season six of the CW’s Supernatural is coming to a head tonight on the season’s two-hour finale. The back to back airing pair two episodes that center on the greatest fear that the characters of Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) have individually. “Let It Bleed” addresses danger to the family that Dean left behind, followed by “The Man Who Knew Too Much” which answers the question of what happens when the wall that Death put up in Sam’s mind starts to crumble.

Later this year Kyra Sedgwick will wrap up her seventh and final season as the star of TNT's The Closer, one of the many female-centric cable series that have made perfect home for actresses no longer snagging great movie roles. But with her time on television coming to a close (ooh, get it? see what I did there?), Sedgwick is coming back to the movies after all, and for some reason is kicking things off with a role in a low-rent horror movie that Lionsgate is hoping will take the place of the Saw franchise. According to Deadline Sedgwick will be starring opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgen in Dibbuk Box, a thriller about a girl who finds an antique box that contains a spirit "bent on devouring its human host." Morgan and Sedgwick will play divorced parents, who of course will wind up reuniting and maybe even falling back in love...

It's Attack of the Giant Floating Head again, as Imp Awards has caught the first glimpse at the poster for The Resident. The flick is part of Hammer's resurrection (alongside the recently released Let Me In) and stars Hilary Swank as a young doctor who discovers that the landlord of her new Brooklyn apartment loft has a twisted obsession with her. Also starring is Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen, The Losers) and Christopher Lee (Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, The Wicker Man) and is set for a March 11th, 2011 release in cinemas. I always wondered; Studios must have some real trust in their stars to just slap a poster together like this. It's essentially 70% Swank, 15% New York, 10% Jeffrey Dean and 5% Mysterious white fog. Let's hope the Hammer flick is better than the poster either way...
