Whether you want to laugh, dance or just be scared, one of this weekend’s new movies should have something just for you.
In ‘The Big Year,’ Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin star as three obsessive bird watchers duking it out to see who can spot the most species in a given year.
A new release, the futuristic Hugh Jackman boxing tale ‘Real Steel,’ took in $27.3 million to become the top earner at the box office this weekend.
While Pink isn’t a total stranger to acting — she’s done cameos in films like ‘Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle’ and ‘Catacombs’ — the pop star is about to add “leading lady” to her resume.
The ‘Raise Your Glass’ singer will play a sex addict named Dede in the upcoming movie ‘Thanks for Sharing,’ where she’ll appear alongside thespian heavyweights and Oscar-bait like Gwyneth Paltrow, Mark Ruffalo and Tim Robbins.
Seventeen years after its initial box-office run, ‘The Lion King’ is again reigning supreme. The new 3D incarnation of the film, currently in a limited-engagement run, took in another $22 million to land atop the charts for the second weekend in a row.
In a limited engagement in 3D, the 1994 Disney classic, ‘The Lion King,’ earned $29 million to take the top spot at the box office this weekend.
‘Contagion,’ last week’s most popular movie, moved to second place, while Ryan Gosling’s ‘Drive’ took third in its debut week. Former box office champ ‘The Help’ came in fourth, and ‘Straw Dogs’ rounded out the top five.
It may sound like sacrilege to the many Twihards out there, but lots of people out there (ahem, like us) simply don’t get the devotion the ‘Twilight’ books and movies have inspired.
To us, they’re just weird — comprising nothing more than one giant homage to a love-that-dare-not-speak-its-name until after marriage, and then insisting on having the baby when you get knocked up even though, oh yeah, it could kill you. And besides, why did Bella pick the pasty vampire anyway when Taylor Lautner is obviously so much hotter?
It took a global epidemic to do it, but ‘The Help’ has finally been knocked out of the number one spot at the box office after three weeks at the top of the list.
The Steven Soderbergh-directed ‘Contagion,’ about a deadly and fast-spreading disease and the panic it causes, earned $23.1 million at theaters in its first week of release, relegating ‘The Help’ to a runner-up status. The mixed-martial arts action flick, ‘Warrior,’ came in third during its debut week, with ‘The Debt’ and ‘Columbiana’ rounding out the top five.
Three very different films will bow this weekend in theaters nationwide.
The sci-fi/fantasy thriller ‘Apollo 18‘ uses a faux-documentary style to explore a covert trip to the moon that reveals disturbing new life forms, while Helen Mirren’s ‘The Debt‘ sees three former Mossad agents haunted by a dangerous secret mission from 30 years prior, and horror-flick ‘Shark Night 3D‘ features seven vacationers — most of whom will presumably become food — encountering shark-infested waters.
Aside from voiceover work in the ‘Shrek’ franchise, the last time Mike Myers headlined on the big screen was in 2008′s disastrous box-office and critical flop, ‘The Love Guru.’
Now, the ‘Saturday Night Live’ alum is going back to the tried and true. He’s signed on to reprise the randy, dental-hygienically-challenged British spy Austin Powers in a fourth installment of the movie series.
