Ride Along Tops The US Box Office Once More, With Awkward Moment In Third

February 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Going into the weekend many had expected That Awkward Moment to top the US box office, but in the end Ride Along hit number 1 for the third week in a row. It took $12.3 million over the weekend, with $92 million in the bank so far. Frozen took second place with $9.3 million, thanks to the release of a sing-along version which pushed its gross up a little from last weekend.

Awkward Moment ended up in third spot with $9 million, less than the $10-$12 million that was expected. However as it only cost $7 million to make, it should still turn a profit.

The only other new entry was Labor Day, which took $5.3 million. It’s being seen as a bit of a disappointment, although the fact it got pushed from a prime Oscar-bait release to January shows the studio didn’t have a huge amount of faith in it.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of January 31st-February 2nd.

Ride Along Tops The US Box Office Again While I Frankenstein Bombs

January 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If I, Frankenstein had been hoping to be a big hit, its dream came crashing down over the weekend. It could only manage sixth place with an $8.2 million start, which means it’s now going to really struggle to make back its $65 million budget. The makers had been hoping it would open with similar numbers to the Underworld films, but it ended up starting with less than half of those movies.

It was however the only new entry in the top 10, with Ride Along once more taking the top spot with $21.1 million. It’s now taken $75 million, which is far more than most expected it to after only nine days.

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

Rank	Title	Weekend Gross (millions)	Total Gross to date (millions)
1	Ride Along	$21.1	$75.4
2	Lone Survivor	$12.6	$93.6
3	The Nut Job	$12.4	$40.2
4	Frozen	$9.0	$347.8
5	Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit	$8.8	$30.1
6	I, Frankenstein	$8.2	$8.2
7	American Hustle	$7.1	$127.0
8	August: Osage County	$5.0	$26.5
9	The Wolf Of Wall Street	$5.0	$98.0
10	Devil’s Due	$2.7	$12.8

I, Frankenstein Trailer – Aaron Eckhart is all sewn together and supernatural

October 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

This is one of those trailers that’s so busy trying to look cool that it’s doesn’t realise it actually looks a bit daft. That’s doesn’t mean the film can’t be fun, as long as a portentous tone doesn’t rob it on entertainment value.

The film is based on Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same name about Adam Frankenstein (Aaron Eckhart), the creation of Dr. Frankenstein, who is still alive centuries after his ‘birth’. Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons and start a new army.

Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Bill Nighy and Aden Young also star.

The release date has been slipping from February 2013 to September 2013 and now it’s due next January. [Read more…]

With Comic-Con kicking off in just a couple of days, the movie studios are already trying to build the hype for their upcoming movies, which includes releasing a slew of posters for those film that will be filling the halls this weekend in San Diego. Now we have a rather cool trio of posters for the Aaron Eckhart movie I, Frankenstein, a banner for the remake of Carrie, a Thor: The Dark World concept art image, and as you can see above, a great new mondo poster for Godzilla.

The giant lizard film is expected to be one of the biggest movies at Comic-Con this weekend, with Warner promising a massive presentation and plenty of other things going on in relation to the film.

The movie, starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, Sally Hawkins and Juliette Binoche, is said to be closer to the tone of the Japanese originals than Roland Emmerich’s 1990s movie. The Gareth Edwards directed film hits cinemas May 16th 2014.

I, Frankenstein is based on Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same name about Adam Frankenstein (Aaron Eckhart), the creation of Dr. Frankenstein, who is still alive centuries after his ‘birth’. Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons and start a new army. Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Bill Nighy and Aden Young also star. It’s due in cinemas next January.

Based on Stephen King’s debut novel, the remake of Carrie sees Chloe Moretz take over the title role of the girl on the edge of adolescence, whose problem with bullies and a terrifying mother become dangerous when she develops telekinetic powers. It’s due out in October.

Thor: The Dark World is, of course, the follow-up to Marvel’s Thor and The Avengers, with Chris Hemsworth back as the Norse god. This time he must prevent an ancient race, led by the vengeful Malekith, from plunging the universe back into darkness. It’s due in cinemas in November.
