Warm Bodies Heats Up The US Box Office

February 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

WARM BODIESNobody seemed sure quite how well Warm Bodies would do at the US box office, but it turns out audiences were up for some zombie fun over the Superbowl weekend, as the Nicholas Hoult starring movie took $20 million in its first weekend to top the chart. It’s considered a pretty good opening for a relatively cheap movie that could easily have been ignored.

The only other new movie in the top 10 was Bullet To The Head, which placed sixith with $4.5 million. It’s not been a good few weeks for 80s action stars, as Arnie’s comeback, The Last Stand, failed to hit is big, and now Sylvester Stallone is having the same trouble with his new movie. It’s been noted that it’s the star’s worst opening since 1981’s Nighthawks, and even that movie had a higher attendance.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of February 1st-3rd.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Warm Bodies $19.5 $20.0
2 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters $9.2 $34.4
3 Silver Linings Playbook $8.1 $80.3
4 Mama $6.7 $58.2
5 Zero Dark Thirty $5.3 $77.7
6 Bulllet To The Head $4.5 $4.5
7 Parker $3.2 $12.4
8 Django Unchained $3.0 $150.9
9 Les Miserables $2.4 $141.5
10 Lincoln $2.4 $170.7

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Takes US Box Office Crown

January 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hansel-Gretel-witch-hunters-poster2The Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton starrer, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, has topped the US box office on its first weekend of release, taking $19 million. While it came in number one, many are still seeing the grown-up fairytale as an underperformer, as most had expected an opening in the $20 million range.

The other new openers did much worse though. The Jason Statham starrer Parker placed fifth with $7 million, which isn’t amazing but is about on par with most of the actor’s recent US opening (barring The Expendables movies).

And despite its incredibly starry cast, the anthology comedy Movie 43 tanked with just $5 million to place seventh. It also been receiving atrocious word of mouth, so it’s unlikely this going to be a sleeper.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of January 25th-27th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters $19.0 $19.0
2 Mama $12.8 $47.6
3 Silver Linings Playbook $10.0 $69.4
4 Zero Dark Thirty $9.8 $69.9
5 Parker $7.0 $7.0
6 Django Unchained $5.0 $146.2
7 Movie 43 $5.0 $5.0
8 Gangster Squad $4.2 $39.6
9 Broken City $4.0 $15.2
10 Les Miserables $3.9 $137.2

Parker Trailer – Jason Statham gets angry and action-packed once more

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Jason Statham may play pretty much the same character in every film, but his movies are usually fun, even if they aren’t exactly high art. Now he’s got a new one incoming, Parker, which sees Statham as a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead. Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to PalmBeach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever. Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a savvy insider, who’s short on cash, but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean. The film hits cinemas on January 25th 2013.
