Box Office Predictions: Pirates To Sail Into #1 Spot

scottschachter — Thu, 19 May 2011 22:14:48 +0000

After last weekend’s strong second weekend win by Thor, comes the release of the 4th Pirates Of The Caribbean film sans Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Movie studios have steered clear of opening any new releases this weekend against The Johnny Depp action adventure, while the top ten will be filled out with left overs ranging from Fast Five, Thor, and newly minted summer hit, Bridesmaids.

All eyes are on Johnny Depp and Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Strangers Tide and just how big it will open at the box office this weekend. The Pirate films have been one of the best preforming movie franchises in terms of opening weekend box office in recent memory. However, this is the first time the series has relied solely on the drawing power of Johnny Depp and namely his Jack Sparrow character. Can Johnny Depp open Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Strangers Tide to solid numbers? Has POTC fever waned? The answers are yes and most likely no. While the last film in series was a slight under-performer, their are no new movies being opened this weekend, throw in a massive ad campaign, a healthy fan base for Depp and POTC should open strongly in the #1 spot.

Bridesmaids and Thor battle it out for the #2,#3 spots this weekend. Both films have been well liked by audiences as Thor dropped just 47% percent in it’s second weekend a solid showing for a big-budget action flick, while Bridesmaids opened beyond expectations. However, Bridesmaids has topped the daily box office all week long in a neck and neck box office battle with Thor. Both films should take a modest hit from the new Johnny Depp Pirates film as male audiences will rush out to see the action flick, while females will also be lured in by Johnny Depp. In all look for Thor take a another modest second week dip narrowly winning to come in at #2, with Bridesmaids in the #3 spot.

Rounding out the top of 5 will be the summer block buster Fast Five which has been a solid performer since it’s debut last April to land in the #4 spot and is inching it’s towards becoming the first $200M grossing Fast & Furious Film. Rounding out the top 5 is Priest which which will find itself scoring the #5 spot due to lack of any real competition.

And For The Top 10….

Pirates Of The Caribeen: At Strangers Tide: Our Prediction: $90-100M
Thor: Our Prediction:$18M
Bridesmaids: Our Prediction: $17M
Fast Five: Our Prediction: $11-12M
Priest: Our Prediction: $7-8M
Rio: Our Prediction: $5.5-6M
Jumping The Broom: Our Prediction: $4-4.5M
Something Borrowed: Our Prediction: $3.5-4M
Water For Elephants: Our Prediction: $2.7-3M
Soul Surfer: Our Prediction: $1.2M

Weekend Box Office: Thor Wins Again, Bridesmaids Surpasses Expectations

Laura Aguirre — Mon, 16 May 2011 16:01:29 +0000

Based on last weekend’s success, it was obvious that Thor would, once again, be No. 1 at the box office. This weekend saw the release of two polar opposite films — Bridesmaids and Priest. Well known-funny man Judd Apatow was a part of the Bridesmaids’ crew, which stars a handful of the most popular comedic women, like its leading lady Kristen Wiig. The Universal comedy came in after Thor, grossing more than we predicted. The sci-fic action film Priest didn’t do as well as Bridesmaids – coming in at No. 4 (grossing $14.5 million). Fast Five managed to stay above Priest, and is still bringing in solid money, week after week. Check out the actual numbers below…

Thor | Last Week #1 | Paramount | Weekend Gross $34,500,000 | Average Per Theater $8,706 | Total Gross $119,252,000 | Film’s Budget – $150 | Week 2
Bridesmaids | NEW | Universal | Weekend Gross $24,409,000 | Average Per Theater $8,365 | Total Gross $24,409,000 | Film’s Budget – $32,5 | Week 1
Fast Five | Last Week #2 | Universal | Weekend Gross $19,534,000 | Average Per Theater $5,150 | Total Gross $168,780,000 | Film’s Budget – $125 | Week 3
Priest | NEW | ScreenGems| Weekend Gross $14,500,000 | Average Per Theater $5,063 | Total Gross $14,500,000 | Film’s Budget – $60 | Week 1

Soul Surfer | Last Week #8 | TriStar| Weekend Gross $1,800,000 | Average Per Theater $1,226| Total Gross $39,200,000 | Film’s Budget – $18 | Week 6

Bridesmaids wasn’t much of a competition for Thor, maybe The Hangover II would’ve been but that’s not for another couple of weeks. However, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides might give Thor a run for its money. Do you think Thor will stay on top this coming weekend, or will Pirates steal the No. 1 spot? The battle of the big blockbuster movies continues.

Interview: Director Scott Stewart on Priest

Damon Houx — Fri, 13 May 2011 05:48:08 +0000

Having started in visual effects, Scott Stewart has now directed two films, and two films with Paul Bettany. Both are effects heavy – which play to his background – and now he’s got a bigger summer movie with Priest. Stewart proved to be a good talker, and was enthusiastic about the film, and the 3-D version of the film. Check it out…

Priests

What can you say about the priest characters?

Scott Stewart: The Priests are supernaturally gifted soldiers. They were discovered to have supernatural gifts, trained to fight, and they fought the war and won for humanity’s side, and then got decommissioned. An analogy is the Crusaders, who went off to fight for the Church, and then the Church felt quite threatened by how powerful they were so they started labeling them pariahs and imprisoned them. They have no names, and they have these brands on their foreheads. It’s not this world’s Church or priests. These people who once saved everyone have no applicable skills, so now they work in waste management or shoveling coal.

How did Maggie Q come to the film?

SS: Maggie and I had already met, and I was a fan. We did casting and had a lot of young, very attractive, very well-known actresses, who came in wearing these cat suits and boots. Maggie came in wearing ratty jeans and a faded Beastie Boys t-shirt. She walked in “I think I dressed wrong for this.” I think their initial instinct was Underworld, so they were just going for that.

What do you enjoy about working with Paul Bettany?

SS: We’re really close friends – we like to geek out on the same stuff. He’s a great filmmaker, in addition to being a really good actor, so he makes your job easier. Legion was an ensemble movie, and was an opportunity to put the movie on his shoulders, given that it’s called Priest. He looked like a young Eastwood to me. He has that chiseled, haunted look with his thousand-yard stare. It’s interesting because he’s really warm and funny, and yet he comes across as cold and timeless. He fits well into a science fiction world visually. There are certain actors that you just believe in fantastic settings. Some actors are wonderful, but they feel contemporary – you want to do a romantic comedy with them. Paul and I had a discussion pretty early on about being co-heads in a way. We wanted to set a tone. Making films is hard. It’s grueling, so we didn’t want it to be a miserable grind. We wrapped a couple hours early on our last day, and everyone stayed. It was the weirdest thing in the world. Usually, people just disappear like rats on a sinking ship, but Maggie had food brought in and everybody just hung out.

The Look/ 3-D

How did you decide on the color scheme for the movie?

SS: The graphic novel is black and white. It’s stark – it’s all about silhouettes, which is informative because I like to think about things in that way. I worked with our costume designer, in terms of the silhouette for the Priests and how they look different. The Sheriff character has a more Western feel. The monsignors look like they’re from some kind of Orwellian realm. You see a lot of those characters hitting specific poses, along with the vampires themselves. The color palette is controlled, so red is restricted in the movie – except for just in really specific places, Lucy (played by Lily Collins) is the damsel in distress and her hair is red. We used red for blood, although it’s a little less red than it initially was because of the MPAA. They have a thing with the color red. We tried to create a very stark landscape, so the cities are blue/cyan, vampire light is green, and we removed blue from the sky because blue skies feel happy. We made them slate grey. We bleached the deserts out white, so even though they’re in the desert, it doesn’t look warm. Yellow has been removed, so that the movie is much cooler. Making a movie that has the hallmarks of a Western and then color-correcting it as a science fiction film was an interesting contrast. In the prologue, we actually left more color in because it’s the story of the world before it became what it became.

Did you always plan on having an animated opening?

SS: I had been thinking about that. Initially it was a scroll, and I thought no one reads the scroll. I animated a boardamatic of the opening sequence. It was in many ways different, but the ideas were the same. It was considered too expensive, but I knew if I held on, we might get something. I’ve been friends with Genndy Tartakovsky, and you don’t see a lot of adult – PG-13 or R rated animated sequences in adult movies, so I came to the studios, and said that we could do it animated for a fraction of the price, and they said okay. And once they saw it, they were in.

Does your visual effects background help with world building on a budget?

SS: Oh yeah. We got a lot in for not a lot. The movie is filled with effects that are not hard to see, but I’m also a big fan of the invisible stuff.

Why did you decide to shoot in 2D and then convert to 3D?

SS: I wanted to shoot film. I wanted to shoot anamorphic. For me, the touchstones for the movie were films like Bad Day at Black Rock – the big widescreen landscape movies and westerns. I liked the idea of using lenses from the ‘70s. They have a lot of artifacts that they’ve been trying to engineer out of lenses for a while, but they remind me of the movies I grew up loving. There’s a lot of glass, and the glass creates distortion. There are no straight lines. And it add a homogeneity to the visual effects that makes everything more tactile and organic, and I was interested in capturing that with my cinematographer.

Did you know that it was going to be converted to 3D?

SS: We talked a lot about it. I certainly designed the movie to work in 2D, but compositionally knew that it would lend itself very well to being converted to 3D. As soon as the studio saw the early cut of the movie, they went, “Oh, okay, cool. All right, go do it.” It’s a big expense and, in this case, we really wanted to take a lot of time with it, so that the experience would be good. What you’re seeing on the screen is a combination between 2D and 3D. Most of the hive guardian vampire is rendered in 3D by a visual effects company, and then the plates are converted. But, we also did things like significantly expanding the set environment that they were on. They were on a small stage, and we made it look like a big, giant cave. We picked our battles.

Vampires/Genre

The vampires in this are very different from the ones in Twilight. Are they based on what’s in the comic book?

SS: The Cory Goodman script diverged from the graphic novel, which takes place in the 1880s. It’s the Old West and they’re fighting these fallen angels. Book 16 ends with a, “And we can’t wait until Book 17 when this happens,” but it never arrived. It would have been very difficult to do that movie and set it in the Old West. So, Cory imagined if it had progressed into the future, and what would happen. The film is almost a sequel to the graphic novel. Author Min-Woo Hyung read a translation of the script in pre-production, and came out from Korea and sat with us. That was the first time we had a chance to say, “What happens after Book 16?” And he said, “Well, I had imagined that the fallen angels in the comic book would create a blood lust among the people and they would become these zombie-vampiric characters. Cory took the story in a direction that I was planning on going to.” Because there are no vampires in the graphic novel, the vampires are not based on drawings that were done. I had Chet Zar come in, and he had designed for Guillermo Del Toro and a bunch of other people. He’s someone whose work I was a really big fan of. He just creates these really iconic monsters that are soulful -not just horror movie characters. We talked about the anatomy of them and how they would work. I’m a big believer of form following function. They live in darkness and they’re cave dwellers with a hive mentality and they have a queen – we worked backwards from there. He did hundreds of drawings and, eventually, we had one where we went, “Oh, cool!” It was that drawing that led us to do the characters mostly digitally. However much you want to use practical, we didn’t want to get really far down the road and not like how it looks on film. We said, “Let’s do tests early, and then make a commitment to doing it one way or the other.” I was also looking at a lot of holocaust imagery.

With the themes in both Priest and Legion, is there something about religion that you’re trying to explore, as a filmmaker? Are you concerned about comparisons with those two films?

SS: I was initially concerned when they called me about Priest, but I read the script and was a fan. The comparisons are understandable, but they’re superficial- there is a religious element in the movies and Paul Bettany is a supernaturally gifted ass-kicker. Those elements are the same, but the world and mythology is different. Priest is a science fiction western. It’s not a horror film. We were asking theological questions in Legion, but I don’t see Priest that way. I don’t equate it to this world’s Church – it’s much more about war powers and fascism and the enemy that we don’t understand but we keep fighting, and about soldiers. It’s an emotional story about sacrifice. They come back broken, and they’ve left families and society has moved on – they didn’t come back to a ticker-tape parade. They start to question “What did I sacrifice all this for? Did I sacrifice to make the world better? Maybe the world isn’t as good as it was, even when I was fighting.” I thought that resonated.

Did you have a lot of problems with the MPAA, as far as making cuts to the film?

SS: We were right on the edge of PG-13 and R. The studio said “Normally, these movies are R, so don’t hurt the movie by dialing things back.” There were just a few frames. When we made the blood a little less red, it got us a PG-13. They have a thing about gun violence – we had very little gun violence. It’s fantasy character violence. Senior folks at the studio were blown away we got the PG-13. Sound is an area they seem to get fixated on. “When he stabs the guy, can you make it not sound like a stabbing sound?” I said, “So, what you’re saying is that it’s better to see it, but not have it have a consequence?” It just doesn’t make any sense. We turned the blood to brown or black and you don’t feel it as intensely. But I’m sure we’ll release an unrated version. I had a friend on Sucker Punch and I was told how Zack Snyder had a scene in the film that involved rape. The MPAA has an issue with women that I find really offensive. She was being raped and with the character in an asylum, she submits to the attacker. They found that disturbing, “If it’s a rape, it’s PG-13. If she submits, it’s R.” He cut the whole scene from the movie because he was so upset about it.

Is there going to be an unrated DVD, and what sort of extras do you have planned for the DVD/Blu-ray?

SS: The studio definitely wants the unrated DVD. We have a ton of extras. I’m a huge Blu-ray geek. I’ve learned a lot about movies and making movies from listening to great directors since I was a kid watching laser discs. We’re all going to do commentaries, and there are a bunch of documentaries.

Are there plans for a sequel or a franchise? Have they asked you to start on a script for the sequel?

SS: No, and if they did I’d say, “Please don’t jinx it. Let’s wait until late May.” We’re coming out at a competitive time. We’re a week after Thor. Pirates 4 opens the following weekend. I don’t think they would have put us here if they didn’t think we could compete, but we’re also at a different level. We’re less expensive than those other movies – they probably had four times the budget of us. We don’t have to perform at that scale to be successful. Hopefully that will allow us to continue to tell the story. I know that Cory has thought a lot about where the story would go. He and I have discussed ideas, so we’ll keep those in our back pockets and hope for the best.

Priest opens Friday May 13. Check it out.

New Priest Trailer promises Vampire War

Damon Houx — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 22:41:28 +0000

Coming out May 13, Priest is going to be there at the start of the summer season. Paul Bettany will be doing battle with the forces of evil (aka Vampires) to protect his kin. There’s a lot of throwing stars and fighting involved, and the latest trailer also promises Cam Gigandet and Christopher Plummer. What more can you ask for from a Summer movie? Unknown. Check out the new trailer…

Priest has already been pushed back four times, and went through a troubled production, so I’m sure everyone’s happy to finally have the film hitting theaters. Little seen in the trailer are female stars Lily Collins and Maggie Q, nor any Karl Urban, who also appears in the film. Weird.

This is director Scott Charles Stewart‘s second film with Bettany in a similar territory – they both did Legion together. That also had supernatural asskickery.

If this film is just action sequences of priests using kung fu and elaborate weapons to fight off vampires, then I would bet that this might be better than its schedule changes would suggest. But this is also going to be a low budget type of affair where many of the money shots will be in the trailer. Bettany came close to being a real A-lister, but he’s taken his lumps, and now seems to have moved in to character acting, and being a B movie lead. At one point he was almost the lead in Kingdom of Heaven. Perhaps that was a bullet dodged for everyone.

Will you see Priest this summer?

Priest Theatrical Trailer – Paul Bettany Gets Angry

Krystal Clark — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 19:58:00 +0000

Paul Bettany’s done fighting angels in Legion, and chasing Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in The Tourist, he’s ready to stake some vampires! The British actor appears in the new theatrical trailer for his summer action film Priest, which is based on the Tokyo Pop comic book of the same name. Check out the new trailer below…

Priest is set in an alternate world world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece. Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

The film is directed by Scott Stewart who also helmed Legion, and it co-stars Karl Urban, Maggie Q (“Nikita“), Cam Gigandet, Stephen Moyer (“True Blood“), Madchen Amick, and Christopher Plummer.

Priest opens in theaters everywhere on May 13, 2011.

First Priest Trailer – Paul Bettany Gets Ready for War

Krystal Clark — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:11:23 +0000

The theatrical trailer for Scott Stewart’s latest film Priest has been released and it shows Paul Bettany getting ready for war, and Karl Urban bringing hell on wheels. The film is an adaptation of the Tokyo pop comic of the same name and mixes vampire lore with religious iconography, hence the title. Check out the trailer…

Priest centers on “a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.” The cast includes Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Urban, and Stephen Moyer, Madchen Amick, and Christopher Plummer.

You can watch the Priest trailer over on Crackle where it made its debut. Once an embeddable version of the video is available we’ll post it here for you.

Rumor has it that this footage will be shown in front of certain screenings of the zombie flick Resident Evil Afterlife, which hits theaters on September 10th.

Who else loves the fact that Stephen Moyer looks exactly like Bill Compton (from “True Blood“) in this film but isn’t playing a vampire. The irony.

Update: Be sure to check out the first poster of Karl Urban as the villain, Black Hat.

After multiple delays and a 3D conversion, Screen Gems upcoming Manga adaptation Priest has made its way to San Diego Comic-Con. The film is officially scheduled to hit theaters on May 13, 2011 and reunites director Scott Stewart with his Legion star Paul Bettany. Today we took part in the official roundtable interviews for the film that not only featured Bettany and Stewart but co-stars Maggie Q, Karl Urban, and yes Cam Gigandet from Twilight.

The entire event was light and funny. Bettany was hilarious and his young son (who was in the room) came up to him in the middle of the interview and gave him a big kiss! It was very sweet. Later on Stewart was speaking and Bettany came over after he left the table and interrupted to ask the director a question. It was very loose and relaxed. Do you want to hear the other unexpected surprises that popped up? Take a listen…

Comic-Con 2010: Karl Urban Priest Poster

Krystal Clark — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:53:05 +0000

Update: Be sure to check out the Priest Cast Interviews.

Over the past few months Screen Gems have released several photos from their upcoming Manga adaptation, Priest. They featured the title character played by Paul Bettany, his sidekick Cam Gigandet, the damsel in distress Lily Cole, and a kick-ass priestess played by Maggie Q.

Those guys are great and all but what about Karl Urban? He’s also in the film but has been missing from the group. He plays the character Black Hat and guess what — he’s a vampire! Check out the first full poster of Urban from the Comic-Con floor and another shot of Bettany in all his tattooed glory…

Priest centers on “a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.” The cast also includes Stephen Moyer, Madchen Amick, and Christopher Plummer.

The film is directed by Scott Stewart and is scheduled to hit theaters on May 13th. It will also be in 3D like everything else these days. Get used to it.

Photos From Scott Stewart’s Priest

Krystal Clark — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 17:47:56 +0000

Screen Gems red-haired step-child, Priest has been delayed multiple times even though the film wrapped ages ago. The studio decided to convert it to 3D and also gave it a “final” release date of May 13, 2011. Over at /Film, they’ve posted a new batch of photos from the movie that includes shots of its major stars in action. Take a look…

Priest centers on “a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampire and follows a warrior priest who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece.” The cast includes Paul Bettany, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Karl Urban, and Stephen Moyer, Madchen Amick, and Christopher Plummer.

From what we’ve heard, the actual premise of the Manga from which the film is adapted varies in the actual movie. There is a question of how close director Scott Stewart remains to the source material that could impact whether or not the film is a success.

In these shots in particular, Maggie Q does look badass as the Priestess, but we’re more interested in seeing Moyer in costume. We’re so used to watching him as Bill on “True Blood” that sometimes we forget that he’s an actor who can actually play other characters.

First Photo of Paul Bettany in Priest

Krystal Clark — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:04:29 +0000

Even though Screen Gems’ live action adaptation of Priest continues to go through the release date shuffle, that hasn’t stopped the studio from unveiling the first official photo from the film. Over at Bloody Disgusting they’ve posted an image of actor Paul Bettany in character as the star and hero of the film. Take a look…

The vampires in this film kind of look like zombies and I don’t know how I feel about that. The gray ashy appearance just isn’t doing it for me. Bettany on the other hand looks great as the living incarnation of the character and I can’t wait to see what everyone else will bring to the table.

The film is directed by Scott Stewart and is currently being converted into 3D for a May 13, 2011 release.

Priest Delayed to Summer 2011, Green Hornet Gets IMAX 3D Release

Krystal Clark — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 20:57:11 +0000

The Manga adaptation Priest must be cursed because Screen Gems has once again delayed its release. The film has been officially stalled for the third time and 3D conversion is to blame. Speaking of 3D, The Green Hornet is another project that will be released in the format and according to THR it will open in both conventional and IMAX theaters when it debuts next year. Find out more about the films’ futures below…

Priest was originally slated to hit theaters on August 27th but the studio pushed it back to January 14, 2011, followed by a move to March 4, 2011 so they could convert it to 3D. Now they’ve decided to push it back again but this time to May 13, 2011. They’re either worried that the movie itself is crap or the 3D conversion looks like garbage.

As for Hornet, why is it getting an IMAX 3D release? Why is it even in 3D? Granted Michel Gondry is a visual master who can work wonders behind the camera, but in the end it’s still Green Hornet. Kato can be just as kick-ass without the help of 3D technology. Green Hornet is scheduled to open in theaters (including IMAX) on January 14, 2011.

What do you think about the release date shuffle? Does Green Hornet need to be in IMAX 3D?
