Guess Which Movie Was the Highest Grossing 2010 Release for Fox?

Posted on March 5, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Considering Twentieth Century Fox executives are probably still counting the cash they made from Avatar , it seems silly to pass around the collection plate for them after a down year of releases in 2010. That said, which surprising Fox production managed to top the ticket sales of such high profile disappointments as The A-Team , Knight and Day and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ? Hint: Lesbians.

Movieline Recasts the Failed Summer Blockbusters

Posted on July 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The L.A. Times goes overboard with its Inception coverage today , putting the Warner Bros. release on the front page of the business section with a story about how its box-office success is anything but a slam dunk. (Hmm, where have I read that before?) Cited amongst the reasons is the iffy starpower of Leonardo DiCaprio when compared with other A-listers like Will Smith and Brad Pitt. And, as it turns out, both of those actors were considered to lead Inception before DiCaprio signed on. If only! Why not apply this interesting production footnote to the other would-be blockbusters released already this summer? It’s time to recast the failures!

Weekend Receipts: The Karate Kid Stops The Plan From Coming Together

Posted on June 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Need more proof that pre-release polling is totally useless? Heading into this weekend of ’80s reboots, The Karate Kid and The A-Team were running neck and neck — both pegged for around $30 million in ticket sales. Where are those “Dewey Defeats Truman” headlines when you need them? The Karate Kid almost doubled those expectations this weekend, easily defeating the exploding version of The A-Team in the process. Those stories of June Gloom in Hollywood can stop now. The cruel summer — ahem — is officially over. Cue up some Bananarama and click ahead for the weekend receipts.

Friday Box Office: The Kid Stays in the Picture

Posted on June 12, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Sweep the leg! For the first time this summer a movie actually exceeded expectations at the box office. The Karate Kid — which tracking had opening in the highs 20s/low 30s range — grossed $19 million on Friday alone and could wind up with upwards of $52 million by Sunday night. Will Smith is so famous that even his kid can front a blockbuster. The other ’80s nostalgia piece of the weekend, The A-Team , detonated $9.5 million on Friday and should hit just under $27 million for the three days, good for second place. Is that disappointing? Slightly. But not really considering expectations were in that range. Let’s just say the plan sorta came together and leave it at that. The top-five after the jump.

What’s On: Bethenny Getting Harried

Posted on June 10, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The title Bethenny Getting Married? should tell you one thing: It’s exactly like Rachel Getting Married . In the first episode, the Real Housewives of New York star leaves rehab to attend her resentful sister’s wedding, but her attempts to reconcile her sordid past are foiled when Debra Winger punches her in the face. I swear. OK, it’s more benign than that. But I believe Debra would take a swing at Bethenny. You know?

Watch Chuck Lorre’s Admitted Failure: The Original Big Bang Theory Pilot

Posted on June 10, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Here’s your Big Bang Theory trivia of the day: Long before Kaley Cuoco joined the CBS sitcom as Leonard and Sheldon’s ditzy neighbor Penny, Chuck Lorre shot a pilot with unknown Canadian actress/VJ Amanda Walsh as his female lead. Walsh and her character — a street smart gal with a sensitive core — were both scrapped by Lorre after CBS rejected the pilot. Now, thanks to the wonder of the internet, that original episode (that even Lorre said “sucked”) is available for your viewing pleasure.

REVIEW: The A-Team Pushes the Action-Junk Envelope in All the Wrong Ways

Posted on June 10, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The plot of The A-Team can be summed up thus: Stuff happens, connected by dialogue. Helicopters explode; human beings are nearly incinerated; trucks burst into flames. “Ha ha! Wow! You blew that thing up!” says Bradley Cooper, or Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, or Sharlto Copley — or maybe they all say it at once, though that would entail some extra coordination that’s probably beyond their grasp. Meanwhile, big-name star Liam Neeson looks on, trying to add some class to the joint, though even he seems to know it’s a losing battle.

A-Team’s Rampage Jackson Actually Loves Gays, Unless They Touch His Secret Area

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Let’s check in with Rampage Jackson, shall we? The Ultimate-Fighter-turned-actor ruffled a few feathers recently when, during an LA Times visit to the set of The A-Team (where Jackson is slipping into Mr. T’s jewelry to play B.A. Baracus), he said things like “Vancouver strikes me as a San Francisco-kind of place,” and “Acting is kind of gay. It makes you soft.” Now, Jackson hopes to explain himself in an extensive new blog entry where he says that he actually prefers gays to straights, because straights act so gay sometimes. Someone’s angling for a Newsweek think piece !
