This week:
The box office sees a Wimpy Kid knock out Zack Snyder with a Sucker Punch; Johnny Depp is a Thin Man; Dennis Quaid joins Gerard Butler in Playing the Field; Liv Tyler kicks The Hobbit; Robert De Niro
, Forest Whitaker, and Curtis (50 Cent) Jackson are Freelancers, and more!
Box Office
Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch received a… sucker punch on its release by Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. The family film should out gross Snyder’s latest fantasy flick by about $5 million. The $19 million debut of Sucker Punch is in line with Warner Bros’ (lowered) expectations. The film received mixed reviews (read ours here) and it looks like it might not connect with an audience for the long haul. Warner Bros. rolled a dice on this (much like they did with Chris Nolan’s Inception) and while it might not have paid off, it does show that the studio is willing to hedge its bets on a filmmaker’s vision – unlike 20th Century Fox.
How does all this impact on Snyder’s forthcoming Superman film? It’s anyone’s guess, but at least there should be a solid script and some guidance from Nolan.
Limitless is Bradley Cooper’s first real headlining gig since the success of The Hangover, and it looks like he’ll have a few more films with his name above the title. A weekend take of $15 million (dipping less than 20% from last week) gives the film an impressive $41 million total gross.
Matthew McConaughey’s The Lincoln Lawyer also held up quite well, pulling in another $11 million. The courtroom thriller has now amassed over $28.9 million since it opened last week.
Rango crossed the hundred million barrier after racking up another $9.8 million. The Johnny Depp CGI-toon has now scored a healthy $106 million.
A pair of sci-fi movies were neck and neck over the weekend. Paul and Battle: Los Angeles both pulled in around $7.5 million over the three days. The Aaron Eckhart-led invasion movie has now banked almost $73 million, while the Frost/Pegg combo has a total of just under $25 million.
Red Riding Hood upped its (her?) cume to $32 million after grossing another $4.3 million, while Matt Damon’s The Adjustment Bureau continues to be a solid success after bringing in another $4.2 million. The Philip K. Dick adaptation has now grossed over $54 million.
Mars Needs Moms rounded out the top ten after pulling in another $2.1 million. The expensive under-achiever has now managed to gross a meek $19 million. Disney Needs Grosses!
Movie News
1. Last year we heard that Johnny Depp was interested in making another screen adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s novel The Thin Man. Things went quiet on the project, but now the film has snagged a screenwriter in Jerry Stahl.
