Real Steel Reviews, Interviews & More
Going into Halloween, Paranormal Activity 3 has the prime slot, with ten days left to generate horror-filled bucks at the box office. It's got a weak field competition, as it should easily trump the leftovers, and the newer films. Both The Mighty Macs and Johnny English Reborn appear to be contractually obligated...
Two big remakes hit theaters on Friday, Paramount's Footloose and Universal's The Thing, but neither managed to outsell Real Steel. Still, it was a slow weekend at the box office. Hugh Jackman's robot boxing movie brought in $16.3 million, Footloose followed with $16.1 million, and The Thing came in...
It would have been great if The Big Year, which stars Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson was also a remake of a 1980's movie just so it'd be a trifecta, right? I guess you could make the case that Steve Martin peaked as a film actor in the 80's, so we could pretend every big release this weekend was recycling. Regardless, it will be The...
Real Steel easily topped the box office this weekend. The Hugh Jackman robot-boxing film grossed $27.3 million, knocking down last week's winner Dolphin Tale. Ryan Gosling and George Clooney's The Ides of March came in at No. 2 with a solid gross of $10.4 million, we predicted $13.7 million. The family film...
And that's not a spoiler (or is it?) After a couple of weekends of older pictures, either in days (Dolphin Tale took the #1 slot a week after release) or years (the reissue of The Lion King), the first week of October promises to deliver new movies can top the box office. Shawn Levy's Real Steel is a genuine crowd...

Mackie got his big break in Spike Lee's She Hate Me, which was under-seen and did little for his career. But Mackie kept working, and it was one of those pictures, The Hurt Locker, that really...
Hugh Jackman was - at first - the replacement Wolverine. Stepping in for the contractually tied-up Dougray Scott, Jackman got the key role in the X-Men franchise that would come to define his career. Now with Real Steel, Jackman's star-charisma is being used outside of Wolverine for a feel-good robot-boxing movie, that is an against-the-odds...
Shawn Levy has made a number of commercial successful films, all leading to this point in his career. He's taken the seemingly ridiculous idea of robots fighting each other, and turned it into a rousing, Rocky-fied night at the movies, and uses Hugh Jackman's star power at its highest wattage. Levy sees this movie as a turning point in his career, and he talks about...
Real Steel, the Shawn Levy-directed, Hugh Jackman-starring, Robots-fighting movie comes out October 7, and is still deep in post-production.
