Though far from disastrous, American Reunion didn’t get the nostalgia buzz hoped for, and may become the least appealing film in the American Pie box set (there’s eight films in total if you include the direct to video set). So for the third weekend in a row, The Hunger Games has taken the crown. It also passed the $300 Million dollar mark. Check out the top ten…
When a picture opens to gigantic numbers – even if it takes a second weekend plunge – the momentum is usually such that it can only decrease so much. And even though The Hunger Games is off 60% from last week, it’s 60% off of over $150 Million. That’s enough to withstand Wrath of the Titans and Mirror Mirror, it’s enough that THG could out-gross both films’ opening weekends combined. Check out the top ten…
The Hunger Games was going to be huge, but two months ago it was hard to say it was going to be this big, and it would have been impossible to predict when Relativity slotted Mirror Mirror, or when Warner Brothers plunked down Wrath of the Titans on the schedule. Surely both were hoping to the be the number one film of their weekend, but even with a Games 66% tumble, they’re going to have to do over $50 Million if they want any shot at number one. And that’s just not going to happen.
What happens when a film makes money but nobody likes it? You get a sequel anyway. Sam Worthington, star of Avatar - and still a charisma question mark – returns as Perseus to fight more monsters and romance Rosamund Pike, while scores of great English actors (Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Lian Neesson) play other gods. It couldn’t be as sloppily post converted as the last one, right? We’ll know for sure March 30, 2012, when the film opens. Until then, check out the trailer…
Why, Warner Bros., why? Why do you hate us, your faithful servants, so? Have we not sacrificed our dollars to you on a monthly or weekly basis, overpaying for shoddy, 3D, pandering, cinematic crap like Clash of the Titans without complaint? Why do you then punish us with a Clash of the Titans sequel, Wrath of the Titans (seriously), and then decide to make yet another sequel, even before the first sequel is released?
What would be better than having a Bond girl in a movie? How about two?! According to a recent report from Deadline, English actress Rosamund Pike is in talks to take over the role of Andromeda, in the Clash of the Titans sequel, Wrath of the Titans.
Besides the usual suspects of Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Gemma Arterton, and Ralph Fiennes returning for the Clash of the Titans sequel Wrath of the Titans, a few more actors have been cast. According to The Wrap, Edgar Ramirez and Toby Kebbell have both been cast in the film, while Hayley Atwell and Bill Nighy are being considered for two very important roles.
Did you enjoy this year’s Clash of the Titans remake? For the most part, people thought it could have been better and the 3D was simply atrocious. Warner Bros is hoping to make amends for that (and more money in the process) with their sequel entitled Wrath of the Titans, which will once again star Sam Worthington as the demigod Perseus, the unsuspecting son of Zeus. The Australian actor recently spoke to Moviefone about the faults of the first film and the improvements they’re hoping to make on the next…
Last week we learned that the sequel to Warner Bros’ 2010 remake Clash of the Titans will be called Wrath of the Titans and both Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are set to return. Ever since the film was greenlit, the studio has been very vague about the release date for the movie, which is really rare when dealing with a tentpole, they typically want to set them up immediately. Today Coming Soon scooped that Wrath will open in theaters everywhere in the spring of 2012.
