Bree Tanner: Next Twilight Saga Feature Film?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Sequels, Rumors,
Summit Entertainment recently announced the release date for the last Breaking Dawn movie, breaking Twihard hearts around the world. However, the end of the Twilight Saga road may not be as near as you think.
Rumors suggest that The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, a Stephenie Meyer novella based on the Twilight books, may become the next feature film installment in the franchise.
Sources say that Summit is not currently planning to use Jodelle Ferland, who played the briefly-seen Bree in Eclipse, in the new film version of her short second life.

VIDEO: Faux Breaking Dawn Trailer
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Adaptation, Romance, Satire, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Warning: Explicit language and spoilers!
Production on the film hasn’t started yet, but we’ve got a Breaking Dawn trailer just the same…after a fashion. The trailer uses the story line from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, the novel, to mock a few of the more ridiculous story elements which (we think) will be featured in the upcoming full-length movie.
If you haven’t read the books and don’t want to know the plot, don’t click!

Box Office Breakdown: Dinner for Schmucks Comes Up Short
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Drama, Family, Remakes, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Fans aren’t quite ready to wake up from the dream just yet.
Despite competition from Steve Carell, Zac Efron and cute animals, Inception managed to continue its reign over the box office. The Christopher Nolan film - which is nearing the $200 million mark - added another $27.5 million to its total and became the third entry of the year to three-peat. (Alice in Wonderland and Shrek Forever After also had three wins under their belts.)
Warner Bros.’ win meant leftovers for Dinner for Schmucks. The Paramount comedy, which cost in the neighborhood of $60 million to produce, only brought $23.5 million to the table.
Meanwhile, Charlie St. Cloud narrowly beat out Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore for fifth place. The two entries were separated by approximately $100,000.

Box Office Breakdown: Inception Holds (Off) the Salt

So remind me again - why exactly did Tom Cruise drop out of Salt?
The thriller Cruise was once attached to fired up $36 million over the past three days - nearly $15 million more than Knight and Day did just four weeks ago. (That movie, by the way, just fell out of the Top 10 after only four weeks.) Salt‘s numbers, though, did not match Angelina Jolie’s previous actioners (e.g. Wanted, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Tomb Raider). The Sony film also failed to boot Inception out of first place.
Meanwhile, Ramona and Beezus, the weekend’s only other new wide release, failed to even cross the $10 million mark. But Beverly Cleary lovers shouldn’t feel bad - the adaptation only cost about $15 million to produce.

Box Office Breakdown: Dreamy Numbers for Inception
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Family, Horror, Remakes, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists,
Warner Bros. might have had difficulty marketing Inception, but strong word of mouth, stunning visuals and Christopher Nolan’s reputation were enough to sell the film. The $160 million thriller opened to $62.8 million in weekend receipts, placing the film on top of all original projects out so far this summer. Inception also bested Leonardo DiCaprio’s previous debuts (including Shutter Island‘s $41.1 million) and Nolan’s earlier titles (outside of The Dark Knight).
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, on the other hand, had a harder time conjuring up interest. The Disney remake grossed only $17.6 million since Friday ($24.7 million since Wednesday). That’s a considerable disappointment given the $150 million price tag, but overseas dollars will likely help the studio.
Meanwhile, a film that placed #12 on this week’s chart actually outperformed both Inception and Apprentice. The Kids Are All Right, starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore, had the best per screen average ($28,009) of any movie currently in theaters.

Box Office Breakdown: Despicable Weekend for Eclipse

It looks like Steve Carell will do just fine when he finally leaves Dunder Mifflin.
Neither vampires nor predators could keep Gru (Carell) and his minions from ruling the box office this weekend. Despicable Me - also featuring the voices of Miranda Cosgrove, Jason Segel and Russell Brand - overcame it’s title and delighted audiences to the tune of $56.4 million. Universal’s feature earned nearly enough to cover the film’s production cost ($69 million) and more than enough to push last week’s champ, Eclipse, down to second place.
Meanwhile, Fox’s Predators, set its laser sights on the alien creature lovers out there. The sci-fi thriller, starring Adrien Brody and Topher Grace, fired up $24.8 million in ticket sales and a third place finish.

Kristen Stewart Uninterested in Marriage
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Weddings,
Don’t expect to see Kristen Stewart walk down the aisle in a white dress: she doesn’t care about getting married.
The 20-year-old actress - who is
dating her Eclipse co-star Robert Pattinson - insists she doesn’t dream about having a white wedding like most girls her age but does think about having a baby.
“Not at this point of my life. Maybe I’m completely different from everyone else. There are a lot of girls who can’t wait to get married and plan their wedding a long time in advance. I’m not like that. I do want to start a family at some point, but I don’t know when,” she said when quizzed about marriage.
But Kristen still refuses to be speak about her romance with Robert, only referring to him as a “good friend.”
“At the beginning of the films there wasn’t a relationship at all, because we [me and Robert] didn’t know each other at all, but now it’s all different. We’ve shot all these films together and he’s become a good friend of mine. Taylor [Lautner] and Rob are incredibly important to me. They don’t get on my nerves. We’re always honest with each other without having to worry whether we’re hurting each other’s feelings.”
Box Office Breakdown: Twilight Eclipses Competition

Summit Entertainment saw fireworks at the theaters this holiday weekend.
The four-day frame ended with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hauling in approximately $83.6 million. Although the David Slade-directed installment easily dethroned reigning champ Toy Story 3, the sequel actually failed to surpass the previous outing. Last fall, The Twilight Saga: New Moon grossed $178.9 million over six days. Eclipse, on the other hand, only raised $176.3 million since opening last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, scathing reviews didn’t keep The Last Airbender from raking up a sizable share of the box office pot. M. Night Shyamalan’s take on Nickelodeon series fought off critics to earn $51.8 million over four days. Overall, the $150 million production has totaled $69.3 million domestically since its Thursday debut.
