This was the first weekend since it opened that The Hunger Games was weak enough to be dethroned from the top slot. Fortunately for the film, it’s competition was weak. Perhaps not as weak as originally thought, as The Three Stooges and The Cabin in the Woods exceeded some expectations, whereas Lockout barely opened in the top ten. Check out the numbers…
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…
I’m guessing Universal didn’t think American Reunion was going to be going up against such heavy competition, but it looks like the reissue of Titanic is already making money. It did $4.7 Million on the day it opened, which is impressive for a three hour plus movie that’s been on home video since 1998. And then there’s The Hunger Games. Busy weekend…
Bad news for fans of Dances With Wolves in Ferngully the Last Rainforest Avatar—Fox had previously announced that the sequel, Avatar 2, would have a 2014 release date, with Avatar 3 to quickly follow in 2015. However, as /Film points out, Avatar 2 has no green light or official cast, and with James Cameron busying himself with Titanic 3D and making record-busting deep sea dives, the sequel seems to be pushed ever further in the future—so much so that producer Jon Landau has hinted that the earliest we’d see anything from Avatar 2 may not be until 2016.

Over the past few years and most recently at 2009′s Comic-Con, we’ve heard about James Cameron’s decision to convert his romantic drama, Titanic into 3D. The director recently attended a private birthday party for the film’s oldest star Gloria Stuart, who played Rose number 2 in the film. She celebrated the big 100 with the majority of the cast and crew from the movie that changed her career and during the celebration The LA Times let the release date for Titanic 3D slip…
How can you make a sequel to James Cameron’s Titanic? Wasn’t the first film based on actual events that included the demise of 95 percent of the ship’s passengers? The folks at The Asylum production company won’t let a crazy thing like historical facts keep them from making money with the release of their direct to DVD sequel, Titanic 2!
For years we’ve been hearing about a possible 3D conversion for James Cameron’s unprecedented drama, Titanic. The director even spoke about it a little bit at last year’s Comic-Con, and now we’re hearing that he’s finally set a release date. The use of 3D has become a major deal-breaker for most Hollywood films and thanks to Cameron’s own Avatar the trend is showing no signs of stopping. So when can we expect to see Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on that ill-fated ship again?
We knew this would happen sooner or later. While at this year’s Comic-Con, James Cameron spoke about the possibility of his epic hit Titanic being re-released in 3-D. At the time, he said they only had a few minutes of test footage to go on, but it could definitely happen down the line. According to Reuters, the director’s 3-D dream is about to become a reality thanks to the recent Hollywood trend that’s sweeping the nation.
