While her career received attention last summer for her successful return to the action genre with her hit film ‘Salt,’ Angelina Jolie’s most recent career move is also garnering attention. She is currently shooting her directorial debut, a movie about a love story set during the Bosnian War. However, Jolie has decided to cut down the number of days she’ll actually shoot in Bosnia, from 10 to just three. Jolie first received attention for her directorial effort when the film had its shooting permit revoked. She also created a stir when it was announced she only plans on visiting the set briefly, and will allow her assistant directors to take  [ Read More ]

Apparently this week it’s brawn over brains because not only did The Expendables demolish Julia Roberts’ soul-seeking drama Eat Pray Love, but the best reviewed newcomer, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, as well. In fact, that one didn’t even crack the top three. Sylvester Stallone’s muscled up adventure opened with an impressive $35 million while Eat Pray Love had a decent first showing with $23.7 million. The Other Guys took a 49.4% hit in week two taking in $18 million, earning it the third position. Holding on strong in week five is Inception. It added another $10.5 million to its pot, which now sits at $248.6 million. The sad story  [ Read More ]

It looks like The Other Guys was enough of a kick to snag the top spot at the box office from Inception. The Other Guys began its run with a nice $35.6 million marking both Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s second highest opening. Back in 2006 Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby debuted with an impressive $47 million. For Walberg, The Other Guys comes in at number three behind The Perfect Storm and Planet of the Apes, which opened with $41.3 million and $68.5 million respectively. Inception continues its impressively slow decline just falling 32% in week four. It took in $18.6 million bringing its grand total to $227.7  [ Read More ]

At least one film met my expectations this week. I predicted both Inception and Salt would maintain their positions on the chart forcing Dinner for Schmucks to settle for #3, but it looks like just one of the two was able to hold on. Taking the top spot for the third week in a row is Inception with $27.5 million, bringing its grand total to $193.3 million. Dinner for Schmucks came in at #2 with a gross of $23.5 million, which just missed out on being Steve Carell’s highest debut of the year (not including Despicable Me), falling short of Date Night’s $25.2 million opening. Salt took a 45.9% hit,  [ Read More ]

It looks like Salt didn’t provide enough of a kick to get the majority of moviegoers out of Christopher Nolan’s limbo. Inception dropped just 30.7% taking in $43.5 million easily stealing the weekend from Angelina Jolie who only earned $36.5 million. Inception now has a domestic grand total of $143.7 million and shows no signs of slowing down. Plus, it’s proving to be just as much of a success overseas. Despicable Me is holding on strong adding another $24.1 million to its pot. That boosts its total to $161.7 million and further justifies Universal’s decision to get working on the sequel. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice took the #4 position, but only  [ Read More ]

Does life imitate art, or does art imitate life? Two weeks after the U.S. deported 10 Russian sleeper agents, the largest ring since the Cold War, the new spy movie ‘Salt’ premiered in theaters across America. Angelina Jolie portrays an American suspected of being a spy for the Russian government, much like the self-admitted spies who were arrested by the FBI last month and were later traded for four American citizens.  Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a married CIA agent living in Washington, D.C. with her husband Mike Krause (played by August Diehl). When a defector detained by the U.S. government accuses Salt of being a KGB sleeper agent (a Russian  [ Read More ]

The weekend estimates are in and it looks like Christopher Nolan had no trouble conducting a little inception of his own, convincing the masses to check out his latest masterpiece. Inception pulled in $60.4 million easily securing the top spot, but that haul doesn’t even come close to Nolan’s last release, The Dark Knight, which earned an incredible $1558.4 million in its first weekend alone. However, Inception does bring Leonardo DiCaprio his biggest opening ever, blowing away Shutter Island’s $41.1 million first weekend total. Despicable Me took a 42% hit dropping Gru and his minions to second place with $32.7 million, which brings its total to $118.4 million. Third place  [ Read More ]
