Weekend Forecast: “Green Zone” Fires At Americans Who Want More Iraq, Rob Says “Remember Me” to the Teenyboppers, “She’s Out of My League” But Damon and Rob Are Cock Blockin’, and “My Family Wedding” Shouldn’t Be Expecting Many Guests
1. Alice in Wonderland After an unbelievable opening weekend, one that would go down as the biggest Spring or Winter has ever seen, Alice in Wonderland has secured its spot at the top of the box-office for a second week. It’s $116 million dollar opening shocked the whole industry, excited Disney, and propelled 3-D’s popularity [...]
Weekend Forecast: “Cop Out” Opts for Adults With Raunchy Childish Humor, “The Crazies” Stabs for Horror Crowds
1. Shutter Island Without question, Shutter Island’s massive debut surprised a lot of people. We weren’t really surprised by it, we wrote an article about how we thought it would happen. We were however surprised by the fact that it was going to happen. That article was just an expression of the country’s mood that [...]
Weekend Forecast: “Valentine’s Day” Brings Boyfriends Much Suffering, “Percy Jackson” Schools Olympians and Children, and “The Wolfman” Howls for Adults
Without question, the insanely star-studded rom-com, Valentine’s Day will steal the #1 spot over the four day weekend, and might just torture your boyfriend into not having sex with you after the show. For some, that’s a good thing, but for others — you’ve been warned. The aforementioned cast is really too big to list [...]
Weekend Forecast: “Darkness” Pushes Mel to the Edge, “When in Rome” See what the Dumb Girls See
We wrote a post earlier on Mel Gibson’s future projects and thoroughly went over his latest film, Edge of Darkness, which will be released this weekend. You can click the link above for a more specific write-up, but the biggest tidbit about the film is definitely that it’s Gibson’s first leading role in eight years. [...]
Weekend Forecast: “The Book of Eli” Praying for #1, “Spy Next Door” Molests Children, “Lovely Bones” Limps Wide
While Denzel and Co. will surely be the biggest new release of the weekend (If Spy Next Door upsets, America has a ways to go) Avatar will be the overall winner of the weekend. The film was pretty good, but after seeing it three times, it continues to get more and more preposterous. Ask yourself, [...]
Weekend Forecast: "Youth in Revolt" Goes for Teens (Youth), "Daybreakers" Hopes to Suck in Crowds, Couples Don't Leap for "Leap Year"
Generally if new films are released on the same weekend, these films will take the top slots at the box office. This weekend is definitely going to change this up quite a bit. There’s no doubt that the #1 slot this weekend will go to “Avatar” which will also zip past the $400 million mark [...]
Christmas Weekend Forecast: "Holmes" Investigates, "Chipmunks" and "Nine" Squeal Sequel, "It's Complicated" Simplifies, and "Air" Rises
The almost sure #1 for the weekend is absolutely “Sherlock Holmes”. The only film that could conceivably beat it out is “Avatar”, but with “Alvin and the Chipmunks” getting some box-office out of the way Wednesday and Thursday, it almost definitely won’t have a shot at the top spot. While the final word from critics [...]
Weekend Forecast: James Cameron's "Avatar" Reaches Into Your Mind, "Morgans" Rapes Your Soul
The “Avatar” hype machine that Fox has created is one of the most insanely driven one’s I’ve ever seen. Maybe they got started with actual trailers a bit late (August despite a big Winter Release, often these are advertised a year in advance for the first time) “Avatar” has had the strongest final month push [...]
How Will You See "Avatar"?
There will be four ways to watch “Avatar”. You can see it in 2-D, 3-D, the much advertised “Real D 3-D”, and most expensive of all, IMAX 3-D. While the 2-D ticket is the only one without a premium which range from $3 -6 more than the regular ticket price, the film was most assuredly [...]
Weekend Forecast: "Princess" Expands, "Invictus" Opens
While Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog” looks poised to take the box office crown this weekend, “Invictus” may pull in a respectable second place. “Frog” should make something in the 25 to 35 million range, but with solid advertising, universal appeal, Freeman and Damon in the lead roles, and Eastwood coming off of his [...]
