Posted on August 27, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Expendables 2 once again took a machine gun to its box office competitors this weekend, taking in the most money for a second consecutive Friday and Saturday, this time by about $4 million over The Bourne Legacy . But it was a mostly quiet weekend in Hollywood, with few new films opening and Sylvester Stallone’s sequel winning the weekend with a haul of just $13.9 million. The major movie news instead centered around 2016: Obama’s America , a conservative documentary that cracked the top 10 overall, earning $6.2 million and enjoying an impressive per-theater average of over $5,700.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Back on the Prowl, Nearing Divorce

Posted on July 17, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

When it comes to the dating scene, Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be back, ladies. He is back! Witnesses tell TMZ that the ex-Governor was all over some 25-year old female at Bagatelle in West Hollywood Friday night, grinding up on his acquaintance and even swapping some spit. Alas, Arnold and this new gal pal left the establishment separately. As for Schwarzenegger’s divorce from Maria Shriver? Shelve those reconciliation rumors . Insiders say the legal split is most definitely happening, perhaps as early as this week. Moreover, Schwarzenegger is actually the one now pushing for it, with Shriver allegedly leaning toward a reunion with her cheating ex. We have a feeling she’ll quickly get over that, however. All she needs to do is rewatch Arnold’s performance as Mr. Freeze to understand why.

It’s on track to gross over $125 million in its first six days of release. The Amazing Spider-Man Trailer Where does this figure rank in history?
