Non-Stop Tops The US Box Office, Beating Out The Hotly Tipped Son Of God

March 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Going into the weekend box office watchers were uncertain whether Non-Stop or Son Of God would come out on top of the box office chart. In the end the win went to Liam Neeson’s Non-Stop, which took $30 million in its first three days. While not quite on a par with Taken 2, it beat Neeson’s other recent man-vs-the-world flicks, The Grey and Unknown.

Son Of God was in second spot with $26.5 million, which certainly isn’t bad for a film that’s essentially just a repackaged version of part of the The Bible miniseries that aired on TV last year. It took that amount of money despite reviews slating its television grade production values and clunky pacing and script, as well as a tongue in cheek Twitter hashtag suggesting Jesus was too good looking – #hotjesus. It just goes to show how much money you can make by appealing to the US religious folk.

Those were the only two new entries, although The LEGO Movie also had reason to cheer, as it crossed the $200 million mark at the US box office over the weekend.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of February 28th to March 2nd.

The Lego Movie Tops The US Box Office Again, With Pompeii Going Down In Flames

February 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The success of The LEGO movie continues with the film topping to US box office for a third week, taking an impressive $31.4 million. That makes for a total of $183 million so far. After this success, it’s little surprise Warner is already moving forward with a sequel.

The LEGO Movie completely obliterated the new competition, neither of which could scare up a huge amount of interest. 3 Days To Kill was in second spot with $12.3 million. It could have been worse as the movie didn’t cost a huge amount to produce, but it’s not a great start for the Kevin Costner action flick.

Going into the weekend, some were wondering if Pompeii would top the chart, but in the end it fizzled rather than erupted as the big budget movie barely took $10 million. It’s far less than most disaster movies, but at least it was a little higher than other recent effects-heavy bombs, The Legend Of Hercules and I, Frankenstein.

Take a look below for the box office top 10 for the weekend of February 21st-23rd 2014.

Rank	Title	Weekend Gross (millions)	Total Gross to date (millions)
1	The LEGO Movie	$31.4	$183.1
2	3 Days To Kill	$12.3	$12.3
3	Pompeii	$10.0	$10.0
4	Robocop	$9.4	$43.6
5	The Monuments Men	$8.1	$58.0
6	About Last Night	$7.4	$38.1
7	Ride Along	$4,6	$123.1
8	Frozen	$4.3	$384.0
9	Endless Love	$4,3	$20.1
10	Winter’s Tale	$2.1	$11.2

About Last Night Trailer – Kevin Hart and Regina Hall star in the remake

September 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

David Mamet’s play, Sexual Perversity In Chicago, got a loose adaptation as About Last Night – starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore – in 1986. Now it’s coming back with a largely African American cast, although it’s been suggested that this About Last Night will be closer to Mamet’s original.

Leslye Headland’s script follows two couples, one of whom seem perfectly suited for one another, but things go horribly wrong when they move in together. The other two are the squabbling best friends of the other couple who form their own bond. Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant, Kevin Hart, Regina Hall and Adam Rodriguez star.

Now a new trailer has arrived, ahead on the film’s planned February 2014 release. [Read more…]

About Last Night – Red Band Trailer

February 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

David Mamet’s play Sexual Perversity In Chicago, which got a loose adaptation as About Last Night – starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore – in 1986. Now it’s coming back with a largely African-American do-over, although it’s been suggested that this About Last Night will be closer to Mamet’s original.

We’re getting this trailer very early, as apparently it’s not hitting US cinemas for a full year (and no UK date is set yet).

Magic Mike’s Adam Rodriguez Joins About Last Night Remake

September 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Now that CSI: Miami has bee cancelled, Adam Rodriguez has more spare time on his hands, and it seems that after his success in Magic Mike, he’s hoping to fill it with movie roles. He’s now got a new one, as he’s joined the cast of the remake of the Rob Lowe & Demi Moore film About Last Night, which recently started shooting under the direction of Hot Tub Time Machine’s Steve Pink.

The story is being changed and performed with a largely black cast, including Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall. Variety says Rodriguez will play the role of Bryant’s former lover and colleague. Leslye Headland’s script follows a Los Angeles couple who decide to move in together only to have the entire situation blow up in their faces and end in a split.

The remake is said to be more closely based on David Mamet’s play “Sexual Perversity in Chicago,” which was also the basis of Ed Zwick’s 1980’s movie, but which became more of an straightforward comedy in the previous film.
