Charlie (Dax Shepard) and Annie (Kristin Bell) are in love. When she gets the opportunity of a job at a major university, Charlie offers to go with her.

Expendables 2 Stays Top Of US Box Office

August 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s been little cheer at the US box office, due to what was easily the lowest grossing weekend of 2012 so far. The problem was that the holdovers weren’t that strong, while the new entries barely made a dent. The Expendables 2 stayed top of the list with $13.5 million, a 53% drop on its first weekend takings, so that it’s now noticeably trailing the take of the first film in the franchise.

The top new entry could only place seventh on the list, with the Joseph Gordon Levitt action flick Premium Rush taking just $6.3 million. It’s a very weak start and some are blaming a rather lacklustre marketing campaign, as the film has had pretty good reviews and many believe that with the right push it could have done a lot better.

After expanding onto 1,091 screens, the documentary 2016 Obama’s America made its first appearance in the top 10 in eighth place, taking $6.2 million. It’s now the highest grossing documentary of the year and the highest ever for a political doc that takes a conservative viewpoint – in case you were wondering, the film doesn’t think America will be in a good place in 2016 if Obama gets elected for a second term.

The only other new entry in the top 10 is the Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell and Bradley Cooper comedy Hit & Run, which took a lowly $4.6 million. The only redeeming factor for that is that it’s believed it only cost a couple of million to make. And while horror is normally seen as a fairly sure thing at the box office, The Apparition couldn’t even make it into a very weak top 10, placing 12th with a lowly $2.9 million.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of August 24th-26th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Expendables 2 $13.5 $52.3
2 The Bourne Legacy $9.3 $85.5
3 Paranorman $8.5 $28.2

5 The Dark Knight Rises $7.1 $422.1
6 The Odd Life Of Timothy Green $7.1 $27.0
7 Premium Rush $6.3 $6.3
8 2016 Obama’s American $6.2 $9.0
9 Hope Springs $6.0 $45.0

Hit And Run Red Band Trailer – Dax Shepard & Bradley Cooper go on the road

June 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hit and Run is the story of Charlie Bronson (Dax Shepard), a former getaway driver who busts out of the Witness Protection Program to drive his girlfriend (Kristen Bell) to Los Angeles so she can land her dream job. Their road trip grows awkwardly complicated, when they are chased by the feds (led by Tom Arnold), and increasingly dangerous, when Charlie’s former gang of criminals (led by Bradley Cooper) enter the fray. Although Shepard has a variable track record in lead roles, it’s a great cast. The trailer does skirt on the edge of racism and seems slightly obsessed with Bradley Cooper having been raped in prison, but hopefully in the context of the movie it doesn’t come across a homophobic.

Hit And Run Trailer – Dax Shepard & Kristen Bell go on a road trip

Although Shepard has a variable track record in lead roles (although his & Bell’s support for marriage equality is great!), it’s a good cast and the trailer does look fun.
