Dark Knight Rises Stays Atop The US Box Office

July 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Going into this weekend, there was a lot of debate over whether the US public was still put off going to the cinema by the terrible events in Colorado. In the end, while there probably was still a bit of a knock on effect, it wasn’t as bad as some had predicted. The Dark Knight Rises handily won the weekend, taking another $60 million for a 10 day total of $289 million, just behind the $313 million The Dark Knight had taken at this stage.

The new entries were pretty weak though. The Watch landed in third spot with just $13 million, below many of the already soft predictions many had for it. The marketing seems to be the problem here, with many left unclear exactly what sort of film the Ben Stiller movie is, especially as some promos pretty much ignored the alien invasion angle while others only concentrated on that.

Step Up Revolution made it to number four with $11.8 million. To be honest it’s not a horrible start as the film don’t cost much to make, but it’s well down on previous instalments in the series.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of June 27th-29th.

1	The Dark Knight Rises	$64.0	$289.0

New Trailer For Ben Stiller’s The Watch

May 24, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a Florida Neighbourhood Watch leader shot a black teenager in Florida, Fox decided this might be problematic with it’s planned film, Neighbourhood Watch. Cue a title change to The Watch and now a new trailer that sells the sci-fi angle of the film far more than anything that could in anyway be construed as vigilante action. The film is about a suburban neighborhood watch group that serves as a front for dads to get some male-bonding time away from their families. The group finds itself in over its head when it uncovers an alien plot to destroy the world.

First Images From Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters & More

December 3, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

US magazine Entertainment Weekly is in the fortunate position to be big enough that it very often gets the very first images from movies to show off. Its latest issue has a trio of exclusive first looks – Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Wrath Of The Titans and Neighborhood Watch.

The pic above, via EW, is from Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, which stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as grown up versions of the fairy tale characters, who are now in the business of hunting witches. Arterton commented, “You see a series of flashbacks with their experience of killing that first witch, which is brilliant. I remember being on set for the final few days of that. The candy house, and the witches are really repulsive and quite frightening. The make-up is out of this world. It’s this bone-chilling scene. Very dark. The girl who plays my character is brilliant, with the horrified expression she has. This (movie) is about abandonment and being lost and parents leaving you. The heart of it is that these kids grow up to be bloodthirsty witch hunters. It’s a bit tongue in cheek, really. What would Hansel and Gretel be in 15 years time?”

Take a look below for the Neighborhood Watch and Wrath Of The Titans pics, which were scanned from Entertainment Weekly by The Playlist.

Neighborhood Watch stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Richard Ayoade and Jonah Hill as guys who put together a home security group as an excuse to hang out and get away from their families. However they discover a nefarious plot to take over the world! The film’s due out August 22nd, 2012.

Sam Worthington is rocking a lovely bouffant look in the followup to Clash of The Titans. The Jonathan Liebesman directed movie is out March 20th, and sees Perseus heading into the underworld after Zeus is kidnapped.
