First Look At Kristin Chenoweth’s Take On Maleficent In The Descendants

July 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kristin-chenoweth-descendantsWe’re presuming that Disney spent all of its money for Maleficent clothing on the Angelina Jolie.While Kristin Chenoweth’s version above looks pretty cool = and gives us our look at her as the character in the upcoming Disney Channel movie The Descendants – she does slightly look like she got the eBay knock-off costume.

The film’s synopsis gives us a taste for what to expect from this Disney Channel movie: ‘In a present day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Disney’s iconic “Beauty and the Beast”) is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the trouble-making offspring of Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Jafar who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island with all the other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters.

‘These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal, Evvie and Jay, respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes, including Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan. However, the evil teens face a dilemma. Should they follow in their nefarious parents’ footsteps and help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness and save the kingdom.’

The pic shows Chenoweth as Maleficent opposite Dove Cameron as her daughter, Mal.

Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart, Cameron Boyce, Keegan Connor Tracy, Dan Payne, Mitchell Hope, Maz Jobrani, Wendy Raquel Robinson and Kathy Najimy also star, with Kenny Ortega (High School Musical) directing. It should air next year.

The Vow Romances Its Way To The Top Of The US Box Office

February 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The US box office can be an incredibly fickle beast that tough to predict. Many were expecting that with four major films opening against one another, they might harm each others chances. Instead all of them did well, marking only the second time in history four films have opened north of $20 million on the same weekend.

It was The Vow that really overperformed, doubling some predictions to wind up with a stellar $41 million. Many have suggested a lack of straightforward romances in the last few months and the fact it’s almost Valentine’s Day conspired to ensure The Vow got an opening that outpaced the likes of Dear John and The Notebook.

The film many had expected to lead the box office chart, Safe House, settled for second spot with $39.3 million, which was still well ahead of what many thought it might end up with. Indeed it’s more than Ryan Reynolds’ last movie, The Change Up, made in its entire North American run, and marks Denzel Washington’s second biggest opener ever behind American gangster.

Third on the chart with $27.7 million was Journey 2, which outpaced its predecessor’s $21 million opening, and nearly doubled what many had thought it would make in its first three days. The final new entry in the $20 million plus club was Star War: The Phantom Menace 3D, which took $23 million. It’s a solid start, especially considering many see it as the weakest Star Wars movie, but it’s well behind what the re-release of The Lion King made last autumn. We’ll have to see whether George Lucas thinks it’s enough to justify converting the other Star Wars flicks.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of February 10th-12th.

Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
The Vow $41.7 $41.7
Safe House $39.3 $39.3
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island $27.5 $27.5
Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace 3D $23.0 $23.0

Chronicle Tops The US Box Office

February 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite competition from the Super Bowl, Chronicle has got off to a good start at the box office, with a $22 million opening weekend. It’s certainly not bad for a movie that only cost $12 million to make, and seems to have been helped by a strong buzz and good word of mouth.

In second place with $21 million was The Woman In Black. It was no Harry Potter style opening, but bodes well for Daniel Radcliffe’s post-Hogwarts career. In fact it’s the first time ever that two movies have opened north of $20 million against the Super Bowl, and the fact both are somewhat male-skewing is perhaps surprising.

The only other new entry on the chart was Big Miracle with $8.5 million. While relatively in line with expectations, the whale tale is now unlikely to become a breakout hit.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Chronicle $22.0 $22.0
2 The Woman In Black $21.0 $21.0
3 The Grey $9.5 $34.7
4 Big Miracle $8.5 $8.5
5 Underworld Awakening $5.6 $54.3
6 One For The Money $5.2 $19.6
7 Red Tails $5.0 $41.3
8 The Descendants $4.6 $65.5
9 Man On A Ledge $4.5 $14.7
10 Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close $3.9 $26.7

The Grey Tops The US Box Office

January 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While many thought The Grey would top the US box office, not that many believed the R-rated thriller would hit $20 million in its first three days, but with the drawing power of Liam Neeson and a fairly clear premise, it’s done just that.

One For The Money, starring Katherine Heigl, beat out modest expectations for a third place finish in its first three days with $11.7 million. There had been hope this adaptation of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels would be the start of a franchise, but it’s going to have to make a fair bit more cash around the world to make that worthwhile.

The only other new entry was Man On A Ledge, which took a soft $8.3 million. Many are blaming this on muddled marketing, as the Sam Worthington flick got decent reviews.

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

Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
The Grey $20.0 $20.0
Underworld Awakening $12.5 $42.1
One For The Money $11.7 $11.7
Red Tails $10.4 $33.7
Man On A Ledge $8.3 $8.3

The Descendants

January 25, 2012 By Stephen Sclater Leave a Comment

Starring: George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Nick Krause, Judy Greer
Director: Alexander Payne
Running Time: 114 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 27th, 2012

The Descendants was no doubt Oscar bound at its inception – directed and written by Alexander Payne (of Election, Sideways and About Schmidt fame) and starring one of The Oscars current favourites, George Clooney. With five nominations, the only question now is whether it’ll win.

Matthew King’s (Clooney) wife has been involved in a major accident and is on a life support machine. He is a lawyer as well as the executor of his extended family’s massive estate, even though he’s completely out of touch with his immediate family. The plot centres around Clooney coming to terms with, taking control of and understanding more about his fractured family, whilst also learning about his wife’s infidelity. [Read more…]

Golden Globe Winners Announced – Christopher Plummer Wins For Beginners

January 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If anyone was hoping that the Golden Globes would reveal a frontrunner for the Oscar, they’ll be disappointed, as that awards went pretty much across the board when they were handed out last night. The big winners were The Descendants for Best Picture (Drama) and The Artist for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy).

Although The Descendants has been a bit of a quiet success, there are many who feel it could do well at the Oscars and may win George Clooney a Best Actor award (as he got at the Globes on the Drama side).

On the LGBT side, the only film winner was Christopher Plummer, who picked up the Best Supporting Actor awards for playing an elderly gay man in Beginners. While Glenn Close was nominated for playing a woman living as a man in Albert Nobbs, she was beaten out by Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady in the Best Actress (Drama) category. In the TV categories, gay-friendly Modern Family did well, winning Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.

Interestingly, while Best Director normally goes to someone who helmed one of the Best Picture winning films, in this case Martin Scorsese won for Hugo, which was that movie’s only award. It would be surprising if that patterns followed again at the Oscars. Other films to get at least one gong include Tintin, W.E., and A Separation. However overall it was The Artist that did best, with three awards, although it certainly didn’t sweep the boards and while it puts it in a strong position for the Academy Awards, it is by no means a cert.

Take a look below for all the winners in all the categories at this year’s Golden Globes.

Ghost Protocol Top New Year’s US Box Office

January 3, 2012 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

If the studios were hoping for some four-day holiday New Year’s cheer at the box office, they didn’t get a huge amount, with Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol the only real bright spot. The overall box office was down over last New Year, but Ghost Protocol added another $38 million to take its total to $14 million in the US and $361 million worldwide. It’s a decent hit but not astounding.

There were no new entries, with just a few films shifting about. Among the Christmas openers, War Horse is doing best, moving up from sixth to fourth place on the chart (and it should be noted its sixth place finish last weekend was after only two days in cinemas). Other films such as Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and We Bought A Zoo continued to do modest but not horrific business.

It’s Tintin though that’s be the biggest failure, only making $50 million so far in the US, despite finding success in other parts of the world.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of December 30th-January 2nd.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol $38.3 $141.2
2 Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows $26.5 $136.5
3 Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked $21.0 $97.3
4 The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo $19.2 $45.2
5 War Horse $19.0 $60.0
6 We Bought A Zoo $16.5 $43.9
7 The Adventures Of Tintin $15.0 $50.8
8 New Year’s Eve $7.7 $47.3
9 The Darkest Hour $5.2 $14.2
10 The Descendants $4.2 $40.2

Mission: Impossible Tops The Christmas US Box Office

December 27, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

The Christmas US box office is slightly unusual, as while it was a holiday four-day weekend, rather than releasing movie on a Friday, many of the studios decided to either release their movie early or wait until Christmas itself, largely because they now Christmas Eve always tends to be an unsually weak day (whereas Saturday is normally the best day of the week). The result is that while some of these new films movies got off to decent starts, they couldn’t beat out previously released flicks.

The chart topper was Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which is shaping up to be a decent blockbuster for Paramount. Expanding into normal cinemas after its IMAX start last weekend, the movie took a strong $46 million over the Christmas weekend, and should take a lot more leading into New Year..

The top new entry was at number four, with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo taking $19.4 million over the weekend following its release in the middle of last week. It’s an okay start for a rather serious, R-rated movie, but the studio was hoping that with David Fincher at the helm it would really hit it big.

The Adventures Of Tintin came in fifth with $16.1 million, which is a disappointment after the movie hit it big in the rest of the world, having already grossed $239 million internationally. We Bought A Zoo came next with $15.6 million, which is lower than had been hoped for, but it’s rather early to say if it can make up ground over the coming days.

Spielberg’s War Horse didn’t get released until Sunday, so it’s two-day take of $15.0 million isn’t too bad at all, especially for a period war movie. Many are thinking the film could well turn into a decent sized hit and will end up as the highest grossing of the Christmas releases. The final new entry was the sci-fi flick The Darkest Hour, which took a weak $5.5 million.

Overall the box office was up on last year, which will be a relief to Hollywood after several weeks where things have been in the doldrums. However, many have been predicting problems due to the fact the release schedule is ridiculously packed. It certainly seems that with so much competition, the new movies (and indeed the holdovers) have all opened lower than they might have if they’d had a clearer run.

Take a look below for the Christmas 2011 US box office top 10.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol $46.2 $78.6
2 Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows $31.8 $90.5

New Year’s Eve Tops The US Box Office

December 12, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

The idea that lightning can strike in the same place twice took a hit over the weekend, with New Year’s Eve, the star-studded follow-up to Valentine’s Day, topping the US box ofice but with a very tepid $13.7 million. With a cast that includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Lea Michele, Robert De Niro, Josh Duhamel, Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Hilary Swank and Seth Meyer, Warner Bros had been expecting it to make over $20 million, especially since it’s predecessor opened to $72 million 18 months ago.

Quite why Warner didn’t actually open the movie at New Year is still a bit of a mystery, as you’d have expected it to do better then.

New Year’s Eve wasn’t the only movie that was met with a giant ‘meh’ by US audiences, as the new Jonah Hill film The Sitter took $10 million to place second. It was about in line with not very high expectations.

While early December isn’t usually a great time at the box office, last weekend wasn’t just weak, it was the lowest grossing weekend overall since September 5th-7th 2008, showing just how weak things are at the moment – indeed many in Hollywood are wondering what’s happened to the audience. While cinemas had reason to cheer in the summer, the rest of the year has been pretty bad for them, and they’re now desperately hoping for a huge Christmas movie that’ll help save what could otherwise be a pretty dismal 12 months at the box office.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 New Year’s Eve $13.7 $13.7
2 The Sitter $10.0 $10.0
3 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 $7.9 $259.5

Breaking Dawn Tops US Box Office Again

December 5, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

It was quite an unusual week at the US box office, as no new movies at all made it into the top 10, with older film merely shifting around a little. Things remained exactly the same at the top though, with Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 in the number 1 slot, despite dropping 60% from last weekend to $16.9 million, while The Muppets stayed at number 2 with an $11.2 million weekend gross.

The only notable new entry was outside the top 10. Many eyes were on Shame and whether the highly acclaimed movie could find box office success, despite getting an adults-only NC-17 rating, which many view as commercial suicide in the US (most companies would prefer to release a movie with no rating that having an NC-17 rating). While it only opened on 10 screens, it took $361,000, giving it by far the highest per-screen average on the chart. All eyes will now be on whether it can continue to do well as it expands onto more screens in the next few weeks.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of December 2nd-4th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 $16.9 $247/3
