Ryan Gosling Shows Off An Impressive Package In A Place Beyond The Pines Deleted Scene

August 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There are many reasons to admire Ryan Gosling, just one of which is his willingness to strip down for a role (for very artistic reasons, of course). Indeed Gosling’s fleshly offerings have had more appreciation – especially his Crazy Stupid Love abs – than pretty much any actor in recent years.

We can’t understand them when on earth they’d have cut Gosling stripping down in The Place Beyond The Pines and showing off, as many on the web have already pointed out, a very impressive bulge.

Now that deleted scene in question has been released via Total Film and you can watch the whole thing above. Alternatively, take a look at the GIF version of the bit that’s gotten people excited below.

The Place Beyond The Pines hits DVD & Blu-ray soon. [Read more…]

Iron Man 3 Has The Second Best US Box Office Opening Ever

May 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Iron-Man-3-Fan-Edition-posterThe money men at Disney/Marvel will be rubbing their hands in glee this morning, as if they were worried about the hundreds of millions they’ve already poured into the post-Avengers movies, Iron Man 3 has resolutely proved audiences are keen to continue watching the superhero adventures.

While Iron Man 3 couldn’t beat The Avengers $204 million US opening, it still managed the second biggest first weekend ever at the US box office with $175 million. That’s massively ahead of Iron Man 2’s $128 million. Add in an non-US total that’s already topped $500 million, and the film is well on its way to a billion dollar worldwide gross.

Iron Man 3 was the only brand new movie in the top 10, although the Matthew McConaughey starrer Mud did make its first entry, jumping from number 11 to number 7 thanks to an increased screen count.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of May 3rd-5th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Iron Man 3 $175.3 $175.3
2 Pain And Gain $7.6 $33.9
3 42 $6.2 $78.3
4 Oblivion $5.7 $74.9
5 The Croods $4.2 $168.7
6 The Big Wedding $3.8 $14.2
7 Mud $2.1 $5.1
8 Oz the Great And Powerful $1.8 $228.5
9 Scary Movie 5 $1.4 $29.6
10 The Place Beyond The Pines $1.2 $18.6

Pain And Gain Tops The US Box Office, With Iron Man 3 Taking A Gargantuan Haul Internationally

April 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pain-and-gain-poster3Michael Bay has proved he can still pull in the punters away from massive robots, as his Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg starrer, Pain And Gain, topped the US box office with $20 million in its first weekend. Although that’s a lot less than Bay’s Transformers movies opened to, that’s only to be expected from an R-rated thriller with a dash of comedy. And as it only cost $26 million to make, it’s likely headed for a healthy profit.

There was less cheer for The Big Wedding, which opened to a rather meagre $7.5 million, despite a cast including Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams and Amanda Seyfried. While Hollywood still seems to think wedding comedies are a surefire winner, Big Wedding has followed a trend of diminishing returns for this seemingly never-ending subgenre.

Those were the only new movies in the top 10, as the Matthew McConaughey drama Mud landed at number 11 on its opening in limited release. However the really big news took place outside the US, where the international opening of Iron Man 3 took a truly massive $195 million.

The film opened in 79% of territories outside North America, and if Disney had any worries about the poster-Avengers Marvel world, they’ll have been laid to rest. $195 million is $10 million ahead of what Avengers took in those territories in its first three days. It had the biggest opening ever in Argentina, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore It’s one of the biggest international opening ever and certainly suggests the film is going to be one of this year’s biggest hitters

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of April 26th-28th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Pain And Gain $20.0 $20.0
2 Oblivion $17.4 $64.7
3 42 $10.7 $69.0
4 The Big Wedding $7.5 $7.5
5 The Croods $6.6 $163.0
6 GI Joe: Retaliation $3.6 $116.3
7 Scary Movie 5 $3.4 $27.4
8 Olympus Has Fallen $2.7 $93.0
9 The Place Beyond The Pines $2.6 $16.2

Oblivion Tops The US Box Office

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

oblivion-poster3In the last few years it’s felt like Tom Cruise’s ‘king of the A-list’ crown has started to wobble, with audiences only really seeming to want to see him in Mission: Impossible movies. However it appears they don’t mind him in a bit of sci-fi either, as Oblivion has opened to a pretty good $38 million, Cruise’s highest non Mission: Impossible debut since War Of The Worlds (and his fifth highest ever).

The film was helped by the fact it was the only new movie opening in wide release, and came ahead of the summer blockbuster season, which kicks off in earnest over the next couple of weeks. That gave Oblivion a slightly clearer run, something it needed now that Tom’s face alone isn’t enough to draw in the crowds.

It was the only new entry in the top 10, but take a look below to sees how the other recent release did over the weekend.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Oblivion $38.1 $38.1
2 42 $18.0 $54.0
3 The Croods $9.5 $154.8
4 Scary Movie 5 $6.2 $22.9
5 GI Joe: Retaliation $5.7 $111.2
6 The Place Beyond The Pines $4.7 $11.4
7 Olympus Has Fallen $4.5 $88.8
8 Evil Dead (2013) $4.1 $48.4
9 Jurassic Park 3D $4.0 $38.4
10 Oz The Great And Powerful $3.0 $223.7

42 Tops The US Box Office, With Scary Movie 5 Sliding In Second

April 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

42-poster2It’s rare that two movies are released in the same week in the US and box office watchers seem to have no idea how well either of them will do, or which would end up at the top of the box office (if either). However that was true of 42 and Scary Movie 5, with wildly differing estimates of how well they’d do in their run up to release, with some even suggesting both would end behind The Croods in their first weekend.

In the end it was 42 that won out, taking $27 million to top the box office in its first three day. It’s a good start for the Jackie Robinson biopic, helped by decent reviews as well as the fact it appeals to lovers of baseball and those who like historical biopics.

Scary Movie 5 placed second with $15.2 million, which is massively down on Scary Movie 4’s $40 million opening, but not as bad as some had predicted (especially considering the seven year gap since the last one). With a budget of $20 million, it should end up in profit.

Further down the list The Place Beyond The Pines made its first appearance in the top 10 after expanding the amount of screens it’s been playing on. It took $4 million after jumping from 30 to 484 screens.

However it was outside the US that the real success was seen, as the Tom Cruise sci-fi Oblivion took $61 million after opening in 52 territories. That’s way ahead of Cruise’s last movie, Jack Reacher, as suggests a big US bow when it opens there this Friday.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of April 12th-14th

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 42 $27.7 $27.2
2 Scary Movie 5 $15.1 $15.1
3 The Croods $13.2 $142.5
4 GI Joe: Retaliation $10.8 $102.4
5 Evil Dead (2013) $9.5 $41.5
6 Jurassic Park 3D $8.8 $31.9
7 Olympus Has Fallen $7.2 $81.8
8 Oz The Great And Powerful $4.9 $219.4
9 Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor $4.5 $45.4

New Posters: Danny Boyle’s Trance, Place Beyond The Pines & Burt Wonderstone

January 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

trance-poster1
Some great new posters have popped up online overnight, giving us fresh look at Danny Boyle’s upcoming Trance, as well as the Ryan Gosling starrer The Place Beyond The Pines and Steve Carell’s magical comedy Burt Wonderstone.

The Trance poster above is pretty cool. It’s a US promo released at the same time an April 5th American release date has been announced, although us Brits will be getting it a little earlier on March 27th. James McAvoy plays an auction house assistant who masterminds an art heist and teams up with a gang of thieves, but suffers a blow to the head and wakes up with amnesia. He is the only one who knows where the stolen painting is and after his continued failure to remember, the gang begins to suspect duplicity on his part and hire a female hypnotist (Rosario Dawson) to get into his brain.

Take a look at the Burt Wonderstone and Place Beyond The Pines posters below.

burt-wonderstone-poster5
While I know Vegas magicians look a little fake and glossy, it’s a bit odd to produce a poster where you can only half recognise the main stars – Steve Carell, Jim Carrey and Steve Buscemi. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult followingsurges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.’

Now the trailer for the movie has arrived, which to be honest make the film look more like Drive than Blue Valentine, taking a genre pic in an unusual direction. The movie premiered recently at the Toronto International Film Festival to good although not rapturous reviews.
