“Alice” Creates Wonder at Box Office

Tiffany Lew — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:41:37 +0000

Tim Burton’s 3-D “Alice in Wonderland” earned an estimated $116.3 million this weekend, the highest grossing ever for a spring release, reports EW.com. Johnny Depp stars in the latest adaptation of the beloved Lewis Carroll novel, ”Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

The film made $11.9 million in merely 188 IMAX theaters, demonstrating that 3-D is here to stay. The other IMAX 3-D film, “Avatar,” continues to wow audiences, but had a 44% drop this week likely because of the success of “Alice.”

Coming in second place was the R-rated drama “Brooklyn’s Finest,” while “Shutter Island” fell to third place.

Tweeps discovered a wonderful, new world in “Alice in Wonderland”:

Tiffany Lew — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:04:29 +0000

Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” dominates the box office for the second week in a row, according to EW.com. The thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio, earned about $22.2 million, making its total box office more than $75 million.

In second place was the comedy, “Cop Out,” starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, opening at $18.5 million. ”Avatar” also continues to amaze audiences, bringing in $14 million in its 11th weekend. Rounding up the top ten was Oscar-nominated “Crazy Heart” with $2.5 million.

Tweeps are eager and excited for “Shutter Island”:

“Valentine’s Day” Finds Box-Office Love

Tiffany Lew — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 04:36:33 +0000

Although many critics slammed the star-studded film “Valentine’s Day,” the dramedy debuted in first place on Valentine’s Day weekend, reports EW.com.

During the four-day period (Monday was counted since it was a federal holiday), the romantic comedy took in a total of approximately $67 million and grossed about $21 million on Valentine’s Day alone. The success of the film appears encouraging to Warner Bros., who has plans to make “New Year’s Eve,” another holiday-themed film.

In second place is another new film, Chris Columbus’ “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” with an estimated $39 million. Families apparently flocked to see another literary adaptation by the director of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

Despite reported post-production difficulties,”Wolfman” debuted in third place with $36 million.

Tweeps disregarded critics and adored “Valentine’s Day,” while some tweeters were split on the other films:

morgypoo just saw Valentine’s Day (: it was better than i thought it was gonna be

xk4rli3x i went to see valentine’s day, today at the pics and it was really good loads of (legendary) famous people were in it

CASSually_Me Jus saw Valentine’s Day! #greatmovie I Loved It!

MelindaMayM Saw Valentine’s Day movie- really cute and funny and the critics were wrong. BTW, Bradley Cooper and Eric Dane = HOTTEST gay couple ever

charfreinberg saw ‘valentine’s day’. was it schmaltzy and predictable? yes. were the plot lines absurd? yes. did i weep in the cinema? why, yes, i did.

morganokeefe just saw valentine’s day with my lovers! loved it!

JesseMunoz Wolfman was so blah. I thought it was good that they didn’t go all cgi for wolfman but he looked hokey. 2 stars. #fb

jennstarxoxo Saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief today, cute movie! I guessed the villain right from the beginning tho:) Lol I know my bad guys;)

Randford Percy Jackson – Too Rushed, Too Cheesy, Too weird at times, No real direction, Quest he took seem so easy. Good concept, Could be better.

MonkeyTreeKasey so, i’m not 13, but that percy jackson and the olympians movie was pretty badass.

jcaputo3 So I saw The Wolfman this weekend. Trust me, you’ll want to see this one if you haven’t already. It’s really good!

“Avatar” Dominates Box Office Again

Tiffany Lew — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:25:11 +0000

“Avatar” placed first in the box office again, reports EW.com. This weekend the film earned an additional $30 million, making its domestic grand total $594 million. It will soon likely break Titanic’s record of just more than $600 million. The film already broke the international record.

Mel Gibson’s R-rated drama, “Edge of Darkness,” debuted in second place with roughly $17.1 million. Although the sum is lower than predictions, the number is still solid considering the film targets older males who don’t go to the movies as often. Closing the top three was another new movie, “When in Rome,” with $12 million.

Tweeps are showing a few sparks of interest in “Edge of Darkness”:

XKyleEdgeX Edge of Darkness was really intense. Not gonna lie.

J_MILLZ13 About to watch edge of darkness. Stoked.

SAG Award Winners Announced, Betty White Honored

Tiffany Lew — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:52:24 +0000

While “Avatar” was a Golden Globe winner and remains an Oscar front-runner, its success was absent at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards with “Inglourious Basterds” winning big, according to EW.com. “Basterds” won Best Ensemble Cast, the top prize of the night, and Best Supporting Actor went to star Christoph Waltz.

But just like at the Globes, “The Blind Side” star Sandra Bullock ousted Meryl Streep for Best Actress and Jeff Bridges won Best Actor again for his leading role in “Crazy Heart.”

Similarly, in the television realm, several of the Golden Globe winners were repeated, including “Glee,” “Mad Men” and “30 Rock” star Alec Baldwin.

Tweeps were just as interested in the “Red Carpet fashion” as they were with the awards itself:

“Avatar” Closer to Box Office Milestones, “Lovely Bones” Earns Wide-Release

Tiffany Lew — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:51:15 +0000

James Cameron’s “Avatar” held its number one spot at the box office for a fifth straight week, bringing in $55 million on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, according to EW.com.

The film’s grand domestic total is now $505 million, making it like it will beat the $600 million record set by “Titanic,” which was also directed by Cameron. “Avatar” may also surpass the global record, also set by “Titanic.” “Avatar” has banked $1.6 billion worldwide, according to Gossip Cop. “Titanic” holds the record with $1.8 billion.

Warner Brothers’ “Book of Eli” earned a strong total of $38 million during the past four days, while Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones” made an estimated $20 million in its first week of wide-release.

Although “The Lovely Bones” was not in first place at the box office, tweeps were profoundly moved by the film:

SeitoRai The Lovely Bones wasn’t an extremely good movie, but Saoirse Ronan’s acting blew me away.

Michelle Obama Appears On “Iron Chef America”

Tiffany Lew — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 20:20:24 +0000

A new edition of “Iron Chef” premiered Sunday with Michelle Obama opening the White House garden to the competing chefs. The contestants had to literally dig out the key ingredients–vegetables–for their dishes, reports The New York Times and CBS News.

Food Network personality Bobby Flay and White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford were teamed up together and beat renowned chefs Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali.

Tweeps who saw the episode–and even those that didn’t– commented:

kirilith I was incredibly impressed by last night’s Iron Chef America. I cannot wait to get into the new apartment and start growing my own veggies.

creativemuffin i am so bummed food network is off air for us right now…i was loking forward to iron chef with white house chef! how unfreakingamerican

hotwingforgery @synchra lol like all we watch is food network while we work! FLY ACROSS COUNTRY FOR IRL IRON CHEF W/US!

maruloves is sad she missed Iron Chef America. Darn.

patriciagajo just saw iron super chef smackdown: comerford (white house chef)/flay vs. batali/emeril. mum thinks winner was fixed. could it be?

g4h Anyone get sense veggies were disguised rather than celebrated? RT @ObamaFoodorama White House Iron Chef America http://tinyurl.com/ybpnjnk

jewgravy Michelle Obama was special guest on “Iron Chef America.” Too bad the much-hyped “secret ingredient of national importance” was bald eagle.
