Weekend Receipts: Sherlock Beats Chipmunks, But Ethan Hunt Wins

Sherlock Holmes may have won the weekend with a modest debut, but was it the real box office winner? Not with Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible gang around to flaunt their fab limited release per-screen average in everyone’s faces, a precursor to next week’s Christmastime blitz. And, yeah. The new Chipmunks is out. A moment of silence for all the poor souls who helped it debut in the number two slot. I’d wager even David Cross feels for you.

Guy Ritchie on Sherlock Holmes 2, Powerful Friends, Madonna, and His RocknRolla Sequel

The stakes are higher and the villains far more treacherous (Moriarty!), but everything in Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows is of a piece with the 2009 predecessor that introduced Robert Downey Jr. ‘s turn as the titular OCD turn of the century sleuth. For director Guy Ritchie it’s felt like one long evolution from the days of Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels ; now, at the helm of his biggest film to date — which features some of the most innovative action sequences of the season — Ritchie is firmly in his wheelhouse. As he told Movieline recently in Los Angeles, “I enjoy playing in a bigger sandbox… and I enjoy having powerful friends to help me manifest a vision.”

Here’s Your First Look at Jared Harris as Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

As soon as Movieline heard that Mad Men ‘s Jared Harris would be playing Sherlock Holmes’s archenemy Moriarty in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock sequel A Game of Shadows , we were intrigued. After all, how would the Sterling Cooper taskmaster stack up against the long line of actors who have played Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s criminal mastermind — including Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Henry Daniell, Paul Freeman and Vincent D’D onofrio? We may not have the answer just yet but we do have the first image of Harris as the “Napoleon of Crime.”

VIDEO: Guy Ritchie and Jude Law Want to Sell You Cologne

You’d think Guy Ritchie’s lightning-fast cuts and shotgun-to-the-face subtlety would make him a perfect candidate for directing advertisements. But his five-minute short film with Jude Law for Dior Homme is a little slow, very pretentious and doesn’t even have one explosion! It looks pretty though.
