Argo Reviews, Interviews & More
Bond is back so hard you guys. Skyfall ended up making $90 Million in America over the last couple days, which puts it on track to make more unadjusted money than any previous Bond movie. Quantum of Solace, the current record-holder, topped out at $168, and that sounds pretty doable. In fact, it may be close to that next weekend....
In what must amount to a pleasant surprise, the box office roared back to life this weekend after many theaters were closed because of Hurricane Sandy. Wreck-It Ralph did nearly $50 Million, while Flight performed stronger than expected. People wanted to go to the movies this weekend.
It was obvious that Cloud Atlas was not going to be an easy sell. But with the names attached it was thought to be something of a sell. It turns out that the answer to that was nope. Also big news: Argo, in it's third week of release, topped the box office. But it would be impressive if it had to fight off any competition This...
Fall season is starting to kick into gear, and starting next week the real season begins of blockbusters and Oscar contenders (and some that are half one, half the other). This week the major releases are Chasing Mavericks, Cloud Atlas, Fun Size and Silent Hill: Revelations.
Paranormal Activity 4 had the lowest grossing opening weekend of any Paranormal sequel, which means that the franchise may yet get a fifth entry, but is either wearing out its welcome, or this entry wasn't marketed as well as its predecessors. Perhaps there's just nowhere left to go. Alex Cross didn't open, so who...
This weekend shows that Paramount still remembers how to do horror sequels as they've dashed off three quickie horror sequels in the last three years to capitalize on the success of Paranormal Activity. It reminds of their success with Friday the 13th films (though they were much more embarrassed of that franchise). And then there's Tyler...
There was an exciting moment there on Saturday, when Sinister managed to be the number one picture for Friday, but when the weekend numbers were added up, that wasn't enough to take the top spot or second place. Those were held by Taken 2 and by Argo. Regardless of the horse race aspects of who came out on top, it...
When Ben Affleck turned to directing his first feature film wasn't a box office sensation, but it did make critics stand up and take notice. Affleck was no dummy, and he proved gifted behind the camera. Then came The Town, and with it commercial and critical success. Now he's got Argo, which is hitting a busy season of the year, and looks to...
We watch a lot of movie trailers here at ScreenCrave, and, as we inch closer to summer with its ever-increasing torrent of new films, we're seeing more and more previews with each passing day. As we do so, we can't help but notice some similarities, repetitions, and clichés among them. Here at Trailer Park, we'll be offering a rundown of those clichés, where they come from, and which...
Ben Affleck's Argo looks like a crazy-awesome, intense semi-comedy. Whatever one expected of the auteur behind Gone Baby Gone and The Town, it's hard to guess this would be the project. During the Carter Administration, an American embassy was raided and six of its employees went into hiding. Ben Affleck's character...
