By Tim Nasson

Iron Man

 

"Speed Racer," the first non-Matrix Wachowski Brothers movie in over a decade, could only manage to tie Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher's "What Happens In Vegas," this past weeekend at the movie box office. Each grabbed $20 million. As for last week's #1 movie at the box office, "Iron Man," it retained its title, although dropping 50% from last weekend's $100 million opening, taking in exactly $50 million its second weekend in movie theaters. Next weekend, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" promises to steal the #1 spot from Robert Downey Jr., but just for one weekend. After that its "Indiana Jones 4" to the races, and there is no doubt it will finish at the #1 spot at the movie box office for at least two consecutive weekends. Also new in movie theaters this past weekend, the limited releases including "America The Beautiful," "Before The Rains," "Bloodline," "Frontiers," "The Fall," "Monster Camp," "Noise," "The Tracey Fragments," "Battle For Haditha," and "Surfwise." For the complete weekend movie box office report... (continue)

"Summer 2008 - Movies & Movie Box Office Predictions"

30 Summer 2008 Movie Releases With A Chance To Earn $100+ Million

By Tim Nasson
May 12, 2008


Wanted


What, you ask, makes Summer Movie Season 2008 so special? Especially when it comes to the summer movie box office? Simple. 30 movies, by any movie-lover's estimate (yes, even yours, if you know even next to nothing about anything except A-list movie stars), have a chance at earning OVER $100 million. And I predict that "Indiana Jones 4" becomes only the fifth movie in motion picture history - yes, yes, we know about the nonsensical ticket prices which are 10 million times more than they were in 1939, when "Gone With The Wind" was released, and that movie tickets when "Jaws" swam into theaters in the mid 1970s were $1.25 full adult price - to take in over $430 million. There. We've said it. Not only that we predict that "Indiana Jones 4" will be the biggest movie of Summer 2008, but also the highest grossing movie of 2008 - and the fifth highest grossing movie of all time - thanks in part, if not a lot, to the appearance of Shia LaBeouf, who helped catapult "Disturbia" and "Transformers" into movie box office bonanzas last summer. Keep in mind, no one, other than the directors and producers have seen any of the movies - other than "Iron Man," "Speed Racer" and "Narnia 2" - mentioned in this feature, as of today. And, as of today, "Iron Man" is the BEST reviewed movie released in movie theaters this 2008. Thus, if we fuck up royally in our predictions, so will have you, most likely. Not to mention, the movie studios will have wasted their billions of dollars on commerical duds. For the Wild About Movies 2008 Summer movie box office predictions, and to watch the movie trailers of ALL movies hitting your local multiplex Summer 2008... (continue)

"What Just Happened?"
"2008 Movies" - First Look: Big Screen

What Just Happened


Today's "First Look: Big Sc
reen" is: "What Just Happened?" -OK. We already know "What Happens In Vegas," but... "What Just Happened?" Well, the movie "What Just Happened?" - according to its Oscar winning director, Barry "Rain Man" Levinson - is a wickedly funny comedy about Hollywood, starring Robert De Niro as a desperate movie producer who is trying to survive a crazed director, a shameless actor, a clueless executive, a battered agent, and above all a broken second marriage while still trying to maintain a shred of dignity. FYI - At the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, "What Just Happened?", which cost $20 million to produce, failed to find a distributor. "What Just Happened?" is the closing night movie at this year's (month's) Cannes' Film Festival. Perhaps "What Just Happened?" may just happen this time around and have a bit more luck among a more spectacular setting. And those French. They just love America and its non Woody Allen movies. Ha! For your First Look at the movie trailer of "What Just Happened?" - and for a look at thousands more movie trailers and movie posters of movies now in movie theaters and coming soon to movie theaters, including "Star Trek 11," "Sex And The City The Movie" and Zac Efron Naked - and in "Footloose 2008," "17" and "HSM3"...

Today's "First Look: DVD" is "Rambo 4" DVD -
In this latest Rambo installment, John Rambo has retreated to a simple life in a rural Thai village near the Burmese border, capturing snakes for local entertainers, and transporting roamers in his old PT boat. Following repeated pleas, Rambo helps ferry a group of Christian aid workers into war-torn Burma, where the local Karen villagers are regularly tortured and massacred by Major Tint's sadistic soldiers. The humanitarian mission is going well, until the village is attacked and the missionaries are kidnapped, and Rambo is once again asked to transport - but this time a group of mercenaries, assembled by the missionaries' minister on a deadly rescue mission. This time he doesn't stay behind. WIN a copy of the DVD - and watch the "RAMBO 4" movie trailer. For your chance to win a copy of the DVD... (continue)
