Sorcerer’s Apprentice Stumbles Out of Gate

Early estimates for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice ‘s opening day are in, and they could most charitably be called “alarming”: The Nicolas Cage fantasy drew $3.7 million on 3,385 screens in the U.S. and Canada, setting some five-day projections below $30 million. That would result in the second straight Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer underperformer after Prince of Persia . Clearly it needed a better iPhone app . [ Deadline ]

Eclipse Premiere Face-Off: Robert Pattinson vs. Taylor Lautner

Eclipse will be a box office smash. We all know that. But what about the fashion choices of the movie’s main cast members stars? Will they be as popular? That was the main topic of conversation at the film’s Hollywood premiere last night. Because their characters square off against each other so often, it’s only appropriate for us to pit Robert Pattinson (donning a maroon Gucci suit) against Taylor Lautner below? Are you on Team Edward or Team Jacob in this case? Sorry, but Team They Are Both So Frickin Hot and I’d Give Anything for Five Minutes Alone with Either One isn’t an option… [Photos: Splash News] Who looked hotter on the red carpet?

With The Karate Kid and The A-Team one-two at the box office , clearly originality has gone out the window. And so maybe remaking The Wizard of Oz isn’t such a bad idea after all. Besides, eventually everything gets the reboot treatment, right guys? ( Citizen Kane you’re on notice!) And yet, does anyone really need to see four different versions of The Wizard of Oz — and two from Warner Brothers alone? Well, too bad! They’re happening anyway. Since you can’t tell a player without a scorecard, after the jump Movieline helps you parse through the four Oz projects. Follow the yellowbrick road…

Lindsay Lohan Snags Porn Star Role

Mark May 2010 down as the month that Lindsay Lohan put the court dates, the public feuds , the drug rumors , the gun photos and her box office unbankability behind her, because the actress is following up her 2007 turn as a stripper in I Know Who Killed Me by playing porn star Linda Lovelace in Matthew Wilder’s Inferno , a biopic about the porn star’s life. On second thought, you’d better write that date down in pencil. [ PopEater ]
