Discovery Times Square show opening Tuesday includes ‘authentic’ props, costumes and sets from all eight franchise movies.

But can come pretty close, thanks to Harry Potter: The Exhibition. Housed at the Discovery Times Square building in New York City from April 5 through September 5, the exhibit showcases props, costumes and sets from all eight franchise movies, from 2001’s “Sorcerer’s Stone” up through the part two of “Deathly Hallows,” which hits theaters this summer. “When we first met with the filmmakers, we wanted to make sure everything was as authentic as possible,” Eddie Newquist, an exhibition creator, told MTV News. “We decided to create an experience where you felt like you were going into Hogwarts. We also wanted to create an experience where you could get very close to a lot of the special costumes and things that maybe go by very quickly in the films but really have a lot of significant meaning.” A few days before Monday’s (April 4) DVD premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” MTV News got a peek at what the exhibit is all about. It begins as attendees enter Hogwarts and pass through the lobby of moving portraits. From there, it’s on to the Gryffindor common room, the dormitories, the classrooms and Hagrid’s Hut, before heading out to a Quidditch pitch for a chance to toss a quaffle. Things then take a darker turn, taking folks through the dragon-filled Forbidden Forest and into a confrontation with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. At every turn, visitors will see actual props, costumes and other elements from the films — from Harry’s glasses to Godric Gryffindor’s sword to a hands-on opportunity to pull a young Mandrake from its pot. “It’s a great way to celebrate the end of this amazing, epic series,” Newquist said. “But it’s also a way to pay a bit of homage to the artistry and craftsmanship that’s gone into creating it.” Will you check out the “Harry Potter” exhibit in New York City?

Speaking on the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise, Rupert Grint said this week: “The reason they’re on this journey is much bigger than any one of them. It has to come to a head at some point.” And come to a head it does on July 15, when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premieres. In the following sneak peek, we see Hogwarts bursting into flames, along with Harry and Voldemort going wand-to-wand. We also hear these words from Grint’s Ron: “This is it, really. This is the end of the line.” How will it all end? We’ll find out this summer. Check out a couple clips from the film below: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 Sneak Peek

‘Chronicles Of Narnia’ Opens With $24 Million

Posted on December 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on ‘Chronicles Of Narnia’ Opens With $24 Million

‘The Tourist’ arrives in second place with $17 million. By Mawuse Ziegbe Georgie Henley in “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” Photo: 20th Century Fox It appears that fantasy trumped finesse at the weekend box office. The whimsical “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” beat the sleek espionage thriller “The Tourist.” The third installment of the classic book series’ reimagining onscreen rang up $24 million in theaters over the weekend. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s sexy caper through Paris and Venice, “The Tourist,” arrived in second place. Despite the ‘incredible chemistry’ between the screen stars director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck spoke to MTV News about, Jolie and Depp’s rapport was not enough to overtake the fanciful adventure and technological brawn of “Narnia,” making $17 million its debut weekend. Disney’s “Rapunzel” revamp, “Tangled.” continued to charm audiences, finishing the weekend in the third-place slot. The movie, which boasts voiceover performances from Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, scored $14.6 million its third week on screens. The flick’s total estimated tally now stands about $115 million. In a top-five lineup big on big-budget fantasy flicks “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” continued to stack box-office cash, coming in fourth place. The seventh film in the “Potter” series nabbed another $8.5 million over the weekend. The figure nudges the movie’s total estimated gross to a lofty $257 million. “Unstoppable” refused to quit at the box office, maintaining a top-five presence during its fifth week in theaters. The Denzel Washington vehicle picked up around $3.8 million over the weekend. The film’s total estimated haul now stands at about $74 million. Check out everything we’ve got on “Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of Dawn Treader,” “The Tourist” and “Tangled.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com.

‘Tangled’ Locks In Weekend Box-Office Victory

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on ‘Tangled’ Locks In Weekend Box-Office Victory

Disney animated film knocks ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ out of the top spot. By Josh Wigler Flynn (voiced by Zachary Levi) and Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) in “Tangled” Photo: Disney Although Harry Potter was able to beat Rapunzel last weekend, the boy who lived was unable to fend off the long-haired princess for a second week in a row. Disney’s “Tangled” was the big winner at the box office this past weekend, securing a solid $21.5 million total from showings on Friday through Sunday. But victory for “Tangled” came at the expense of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” which lost to the animated Disney film by a $4.8 million margin. It was the first time that “Deathly Hallows” has slipped from first place since it opened in theaters three weeks ago. “The Warrior’s Way” was the weekend’s only new wide release, but the ninja-versus-cowboys action flick landed without so much as a thud, bringing in only $3.1 million for a ninth-place finish. With a reported production budget of $42 million, “The Warrior’s Way” has quite a long way to go before it comes close to recouping its costs, let alone making a profit. Two highly anticipated movies marked their limited-release debuts this weekend, including director Darren Aronofsky and actress Natalie Portman’s critically acclaimed “Black Swan.” The Fox Searchlight picture, which has generated some serious Oscar buzz for Portman’s performance, earned $1.4 million across 18 theaters, taking home the weekend’s highest per-screen average at $77,444 per location. “I Love You Phillip Morris” finally arrived in theaters after numerous delays, earning $113,000 across a mere six theaters. The Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor-starring romantic comedy expands to more locations next weekend. The Box-Office Top Five #1 “Tangled” ($21.5 million) #2 “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” ($16.7 million) #3 “Burlesque” ($6.1 million) #4 “Unstoppable” ($6.1 million) #5 “Love and Other Drugs” ($5.7 million) Upcoming Releases “The Chronicles of Narnia” franchise continues next weekend as moviegoers embark on “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie go for a thrilling European getaway in “The Tourist,” while Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale’s “The Fighter” gets a shot at the title with a limited release in four theaters. Check out everything we’ve got on “Tangled” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

‘Tangled’ Commands Weekend Box Office

Posted on December 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on ‘Tangled’ Commands Weekend Box Office

Disney kids’ flick beats ‘Harry Potter’ and picks up $21.5 million. By Mawuse Ziegbe Flynn (voiced by Zachary Levi) and Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) in “Tangled” Photo: Disney Fairy-tale locks bested boy-wizard drama at this weekend’s box office. “Tangled,” Disney’s modernized take on the classic children’s tale “Rapunzel,” wrested the box-office crown away from “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” over the weekend after coming in behind the fantasy phenomenon last week. The film — which is powered by voice-over performances from Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi — snatched up $21.5 million its second weekend in theaters. The flick’s total estimated gross is nearing the $100 million mark with about $96 million picked up so far. Although it’s already blasted past both the $100 million and $200 million box-office mark, “Potter” appears to be losing some of its momentum. The film picked up $16.7 million over the weekend, which pushes the flick’s total estimated gross to around $244 million. “Burlesque” limped behind the “Tangled” and “Potter” in third place. Audiences doled out $6.1 million to catch Cher and Christina Aguilera’s musically-driven flick about a down-on-her-luck club owner and her starry-eyed young prot

‘Tangled’ Breaks Out With Friday Box-Office Win

Posted on December 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on ‘Tangled’ Breaks Out With Friday Box-Office Win

Fairy-tale revamp continues to battle ‘Potter’ in theaters. By Mawuse Ziegbe Flynn (voiced by Zachary Levi) and Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) in “Tangled” Photo: Disney Although “Tangled” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” have both already cleaned up at the box office, the two fantasy flicks continue to wrangle for the top spot in theaters. And on Friday, the battle belonged to “Tangled,” Disney’s animated update of the classic kid’s tale. Featuring the vocal skills of Zachary Levi and songstress turned actress Mandy Moore, the flick picked up $5.1 million in theaters Friday. The family film’s hefty haul now stands at about $80 million since sliding into theaters over the Thanksgiving weekend. Far from being out of the race, “Potter” was just behind “Tangled,” spending Friday in second place with $4.8 million. The latest installment of the boy-wizard saga has zoomed past the $200 million mark, ringing up an estimated $232 million since arriving on screens heralded by the typical “Potter” fan frenzy. The musical diva-fest “Burlesque” lagged behind the kid-friendly blockbusters, coming in third place. The big hair and belting bonanza powered by pop doyenne Cher, powerhouse songstress Christina Aguilera and screen regular Stanley Tucci raked in $2 million. The movie’s total estimated tally currently stands at $22.9 million. Anna Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal’s nudity-filled romantic drama “Love and Other Drugs” came in fourth place. The flick pulled in about $1.98 million, kicking off its second weekend in theaters with an estimated $18.9 million in total ticket sales. “Unstoppable” continues to cling to a top-five slot at the box office. The train thriller trailed “Drugs” closely with $1.9 million, a figure which nudges its total haul to about $65 million.
