‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ New Character Posters Bring The Bland

Travis Woods — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:37:43 +0000

Not to have its thunder stolen by The Avengers’ runaway box office, Prometheus’ mysterious buzz, The Amazing Spider-Man’s inevitable Fourth of July weekend dominion, or The Dark Knight Rises’ guaranteed success (or crappy posters), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has dropped a series of bland character posters on the world today. Featuring a trio of the blank stares we’ve all come to know and moderately tolerate, the posters are below.

Hey, we’ll give them this—at least they’re better than the “Let’s write the words ‘Twilight’ and ‘Breaking Dawn’ over a smudge and then release it” thinking that went into the original teaser poster for the upcoming film, right?

Pay close attention and you’ll note that—gasp!—Kristen Stewart’s eyes are red, which means she totes a vampire now, you guyz. Totes! OMG, it’s juuuuuuust like the books. Which, in keeping with the last book, this film will revolve around some kind of vampire army and then a 20 year old muscle-bound werewolf falls in love with a newborn vampire baby and then Stewart will look at things blankly with her mouth slightly agape and set the feminist movement back about 50 years. Something like that.

Stewart costarts with Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner in Twilight: Seriously—How Many More Punctuation Marks Can We Awkwardly Wedge Into This Title?, which is set for a November 16, 2012 release.

What do you think of the posters?

Latest ‘Twilight’ Stills Reveal ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Spoilers

Damon Houx — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:58:36 +0000

Well, spoilers in the sense that what seemed readily apparent at the end of the first half of Twilight‘s Breaking Dawn is confirmed. Kristen Stewart‘s Bella is a vampire now. We had hope that writer/director Bill Condon would elevate the material a little, but at this point the movies are what they are. So check out the latest stills…

Are you ready? Cause they’re really exciting.

Boom:

Hey look, it’s that Taylor Lautner kid giving his “Blue Steel!” Wow, do you think he’s going to turn into a werewolf or something shortly after this, or is he just posing for his yearbook? That’s a look that says “maybe he’s really angry, or maybe he just wants a sandwich.” We’d bet Lautner made this face for hours after someone read him the reviews of Abduction.

But wait, there’s a little more:

Look at the happy couple. Question to the Twilight fans, we’ve seen the first film, but haven’t read the books, do they get to have sex again? Does it come up? We hope so, because the violent sex between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson was easily the most entertaining part of the last movie. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 hits theaters November 16, and we can’t wait.

Are you Team Edward or are you Team Jacob?

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ Releases Laziest Poster Ever

Travis Woods — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 18:45:06 +0000

Apparently, when a film franchise can make hundreds of millions of dollars on name recognition alone, you don’t have to put a lot of money, attention or detail into little things like advertising—specifically, poster art. Case in point: The Twilight franchise, wherein the new teaser poster for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 might feature one of the laziest poster designs in recent memory.

Apparently, Summit Entertainment couldn’t even be bothered to slap together the quickly airbrushed heads of Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson together; instead, we get the overlong title of the film, and some swirly, out of focus blurs, colors and smudges. Call it The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2: Photoshopped in 30 Minutes or Less, if you like.

That said, Summit Entertainment probably doesn’t need to do much to advertise the massively anticipated final chapter in its series of films about a teenager and the sparkly corpse and man-dog that love her, so a rather lazily composed poster is easy to forgive. Honestly, at this point, all Summit has do to is scribble the film’s title and release date in a handwritten scrawl across some store-bought poster board and they’d still clear $100 million the first weekend. Never underestimate the appeal of sparkly corpses, people.

‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part II’ Is Going Back For Reshoots

Damon Houx — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:10:50 +0000

Reshoots are usually buzzed about because it’s often a sign that a film isn’t working, but director Bill Condon has gone out of his way to assure Twilight fans that the recently announced reshoots for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II are just par for the course. He also hints that the film is about to unleash its full trailer shortly. Check out his statement below…

Condon suggests that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be involved with the reshoots, but makes no mention of Taylor Lautner, which also suggests this is just a touch up or two. As the two-parter was shot as one long movie, this really shouldn’t be a surprise. Here’s Condon’s note, from Facebook:

Hello Twihards!

Greetings from Los Angeles, where we’re hard at work on BREAKING DAWN, PART TWO. It’s truly crazy to think that it’s been a year since we wrapped production in Vancouver, since for those of us in the editing room the work has never stopped.

A film is a lot like a puzzle, with each piece – each shot, no matter how brief – needing to fit exactly with the ones around it. Our Part Two puzzle is finally coming into full view, and in a few weeks we’ll be heading back north to pick up some additional shots – the last tiny missing pieces. We’re not shooting any new scenes or dialogue, just some technical work with some of our cast and stunt actors.

I am really looking forward to being back on set with some of the friends I’ve made on my Twilight journey, like the great Guillermo Navarro, our cinematographer, and his crew. And yes, Rob and Kristen will be there too, to pop in those gold contacts one last time…

I’m excited to report that before too long we’ll have another trailer for you to decode. And wait until you see the first posters — they’re unlike any “Twilight” images you’ve seen before. And then November 16th will be upon us and the final film will be yours!

Until then, have a very happy spring, and I’ll check back in with you soon.

Best wishes,

Bill

Reshoots are often seen as a bad thing, but that’s usually because they’re done after a test screening shows the movie’s problems. It’s possible this is more than what he says, but it seems unlikely.

In the annals of reshoots, sometimes the new scenes work, and sometimes they’re just used as scotch tape to cut sections of a film that were scrapped. Woody Allen notoriously reshot one of his films (September) in its entirety, while recently we’ve heard word on both John Carter and Men in Black III doing extensive reshoots. But you know what also went back to get more footage? The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It seems that bad buzz iss saved for films that are already troubled. The film is due out November 16.

Are you excited or sad that the Twilght films are coming to an end?

View The New Teaser For ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2′

Travis Woods — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:24:53 +0000

Just one week ago, we received the latest in that most obnoxious marketing trend: the trailer for the trailer—a commercial advertising that we’ll be seeing a commercial soon. That fact that it was a teaser for a teaser of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 didn’t make it any less irritating. But now, Twi-Hards, your wait is over, and you can now view the full teaser for the upcoming film in which Kristen Stewart continues to not act, but this time she red eyes. Totes red eyes, you guys!

View the teaser below, in which Stewart’s Bella Swan is now a vampire, leading her new vamp hubby Edward to declare, “Now we’re the same temperature,” which is both a comment on the fact that they are now as cold as corpses, as well as a nice unintentional reference to the cold and wooden performances that litter this franchise.

So there you have it—Bella running around the woods at superhuman speed, Bella sporting red eyes, Bella fetishizing her ring, Bella getting ready to gore a defenseless deer while violently draining its body of life, blood, and sinew—everything a teen girl would want to see in the final installment of the Twilight franchise (at least, of course, until Lionsgate/Summit start making ever more of these things). The film premieres on November 16, 2012.

What did you think of the new teaser?

Teaser For The Trailer For Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

Damon Houx — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:08:12 +0000

Oh man. It’s almost here. The end of Twilight as we know it. Breaking Dawn Part 2 will be released November 16, but until that time, fans will have wait patiently with small glimpses of footage, and haters will be stuck counting the days until it’s all finally over. To tide one of those parties over there’s now a teaser for the trailer that will be attached to The Hunger Games. Check it out…

As with all teaser for teasers, there’s very little here, expect glimpses at your leads Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. But this is obviously from the new film as we see that Stewart’s Bella can move at vampire speeds. Other than that… well it is a teaser for a teaser.

Calling this the end may be a bit of an exaggeration, but many involved seem happy to walk away from the madness. Stewart is moving on in interesting directions (between On the Road and Snow White and the Hunstman), Pattinson is in the next David Cronenberg movie, and Taylor Lautner might actually get another project off the ground at some point. That’s possible. Sure. Even if a majority of the main cast is moving onwards and upwards, piles and piles and cash have been known to sway even the most stout of objections. From Marlon Brando to Sean Connery, actors tend to have a figure that they can’t refuse.

And then there’s talks of more movies. Perhaps the Cullen family can be brought in as well. We’ve yet to see what happens when this cast isn’t working, and a new Twilight film might be just the break they need from signing booths in three years time.

Does the final Twilight movie make you happy or sad (or possibly both)?

Lionsgate Will Make More Twilight Films… Once There’s More Material

Damon Houx — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:52:56 +0000

For better or ill, perhaps it was George Lucas that defined in our cinematic culture the importance of a trilogy, of an end point. Before him, the number of sequels or spin-offs were only limited by an audience’s interest. So it should be no surprise that Lionsgate’s co-chair said they want to make a sixth Twilight movie to The Hollywood Reporter. They’re just waiting on Stephenie Meyer to write another book.

This is just business. The last three movies have made around $700 Million a piece worldwide, and that’s just too big a gross to ignore for a smaller studio like Lionsgate. Even if the next film costs $200 Million to make and doesn’t do as well, they’re still looking at a huge profit. And as much as it’s nice to have an end point, it’s rarely good business sense to conclude completely. Even a defined trilogy like Lord of the Rings now has a spin off (at least based on established works, but still).

This recent press seems to be a move to put a little pressure on Meyer to go forward with more, though as she has become extraordinarily wealthy through this franchise she can surely walk away. Or she could go the classic hack route and get ghost writers. If Meyer does produce another book, it seems to follow that unless it’s a short story it too will be split into two films. It would add, to quote a great poet, “more bounce to the ounce.”

Can you really have enough Twilight films?

ScreenCrave’s Top 10 Worst Films and Trends of 2011

Damon Houx — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:08:48 +0000

With year-end worst of lists, it’s rarely fun to pick on films that are dead and buried. Is it really worth rehashing why I Am Number Four or Apollo 18 are bad movies? In five years no one’s going to remember those films, to say nothing of Shark Night or One Day. in fact it’s likely everyone’s forgotten them. What’s much more disappointing and terrible is cinematic good will squandered. And so here is our list of the ten worst films and trends in cinema in 2011:

10. The Artist (as an Oscar Contender)

There’s nothing all that wrong with Michel Hazanavicius’s The Artist as a film. A throwback, it attempts to recreate the look and feel of a silent movie with some laughs and some forced melodrama. But as an end of the year film that is now looking like the Best Picture winner to beat, it’s all wrong. The filmmakers don’t seem to really love silent movies and so the film works more as a homage to something they’ve never directly experienced than a period movie. Perhaps that’s the point, but a light soufflé such as this can’t stand the heavier implications of greatness. If it does go on to become one of the best pictures of the year it will join the class of films like Driving Miss Daisy or Crash as “things that seemed like a good idea at the time” or “what the heck were they thinking?” winners. And in a year as rich with cinematic treasures as 2011, that’s just sad.

9. Hall Pass

Bobby and Peter Farrelly have unleashed two terrible cinematic nuggets on us this year. The first would be the trailer for The Three Stooges, but more painfully (and much more feature length) would be Hall Pass. A film that seems to suggest that its filmmakers are on the verge of divorce, Hall Pass is neither unfunny or insightful. The Farrelly brothers had the perfect mixture of gross-out and heart in There’s Something about Mary, and have spent the last decade trying to reproduce the formula. At this point, they should stop.

8. Thor

Though most would argue that The Green Lantern is the lesser of the two, Thor – in some ways – stands in for all these recent films that function more as franchise empire-building than cinema. Routine and poorly staged, Thor falls apart by using one of the most boring conventions of big-budget cinema: the main character can’t use his superpowers for an hour of the film’s running time because it’s too expensive. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are perfect casting, and there’s some beautiful sets, but the end result is a film that exists to get viewers to The Avengers, and there’s nothing so offensive as a film that functions as a trailer for the next one. If The Green Lantern has a saving grace, it’s that it doesn’t seem to inspire future projects as readily.

7. Faithful Adaptations

Speaking of, this year we’ve had films like Harry Potter and Breaking Dawn bifurcate their narratives to supposedly service fans, and we’re about to get David Fincher’s take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, where the book was too successful for Fincher to strip it down to what worked and what doesn’t. We’re in a culture where fans are being spoon-fed adaptions. The end result – while none of these films are terrible in and of themselves – are movies that don’t so much function as films proper but either collections of scenes that add up to a translation of the books – or a cliff notes version – with no sense of pacing. There’s a great scene in the classic film The Bad and the Beautiful where a director tells the producer that you have to choose what are the most important scenes in a film, and it appears that none of these movies have had to make those decisions. And on top of that, it’s simply a craven way to milk more money out of a popular franchise.

6. Another Earth

Another Earth is an art-house film that was a Sundance triumph, and represents the worst sort of pretentious meandering drivel that often passes for deep. “What if there was a parallel Earth where maybe our alternate selves didn’t make the same mistakes?” Maybe you should learn better film-making skills and drop the philosophy 101 courses. It’s also a film that’s hit a lot of best of lists, but it’s painfully obvious narrative suggests that too often low and no budget films get passes for having ideas.

5. The Change-Up

Body swap comedies were the fad in the late 80’s (meaning it spawned about four films), and so perhaps the genre was due for a re-imagining, but the end result feels slapped together, and makes you feel sorry for Jason Bateman, Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Mann and Olivia Wilde for appearing in such an empty and mean-spirited comedy. Throw in some over the top feces humor, and CGI nudity, you get one of the least enjoyable comedies in since Hall Pass. There’s nothing so unfunny as an unfunny comedy, and with such talented performers, it’s a travesty.

4. Cowboys and Aliens

With such a talented cast, it’s impressive that Jon Favreau managed to lay such a goose egg. A non-western, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford are wasted in what amounts to a chance for talented people to dress up like cowboys and waste money. The plot is terrible, but more offensively, there’s a good movie in there somewhere. This probably kills the chance for any reasonably budgeted western from the studios for the next three years. Thanks.

3. 3-D

Though 2010 took the cake for terrible 3-D post conversions (last minute jobs like The Last Airbender and Clash of the Titans), we still saw many of the summer’s biggest films in 3-D for little reason other than a ticket price bump. There’s nothing wrong with the format per se, but after a year of bad 3-D in such films as Thor, Fright Night, Conan the Barbarian, Pirates 4, the Greens (Hornet and Lantern) it’s something that needs to be done by people who are paying attention (like Martin Scorsese or – god help us – Michael Bay), and not slapped on to increase ticket sales. As we’ve seen, it often doesn’t help.

2. J. Edgar

With the recent SAG nominations it’s quite possible that J. Edgar will be an awards contender, even though the film died at the box office. There may be a critical divide on this film, as some have noted those over 40 seem to enjoy the film more. But if we are to accept the argument that Clint Eastwood is a truly great director (and the man has made at least two masterpieces), then this Wikipedia page summary of J. Edgar Hoover’s life and times deserves to be lambasted as a terrible work. Bad old age make-up aside, the film never feels like it has a spine so much a collection of J. Edgar’s greatest hits assembled in a way where sum is much less than the parts. Naomi Watts, Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer waste themselves in a film that seems to have been made simply as Oscar bait.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

One of the laziest and least imaginatively staged blockbusters of all time, On Stranger Tides is half baked every step of the way, from its nonsensical plotting to barely awake performances from Johnny Depp. Directed – terribly at that – by Rob Marshall, it was the least successful of the series domestically, and yet crossed a billion dollars worldwide. Which means we’re getting more. What makes this the worst movie of the year is that everyone involved knew they could half-ass it and still make money. And there is nothing so offensive as successful people making crap simply because they know they can get away with it.

What did you like the least about the past year in film?

George Takei Asks Star Trek And Star Wars Fans To Hate Twilight

Damon Houx — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 18:03:24 +0000

For years, there has been a rift in the science fiction and fantasy community. There are some who love Star Trek, and there are those who love Star Wars, and for many it’s a one or the other sort of deal. Unfortunately, this divide has been escalated recently when William Shatner took some shots at the George Lucas-owned franchise, and Carrie Fisher responded in kind. But now George Takei made a video to broker the peace by offering a new target: Twilight.

Will this satisfy fans? Hard to say. Though Twilight is imminently hateable by people who like the idea that Star Trek is filled with ideas, and those who prefer escapist fantasies that are more about Joseph Campbell than vampire marriage, the conflict between Trekkers and Star Wars fans has more to do with them being similar. Here’s George:

Can these two worlds ever find peace enough to hate Teams Edward and Jacob? Doubtful. But it’s good to see Takei act as an ambassador for the goodwill and forward thinking that comes through in the Trek universe. But it is likely that the crossover audiences between all three fanbases is minimal at best. Perhaps they could all go to a mixer and find that hard core fandom is very similar no matter what team you’re on.

What’s the worst Science Fiction or Fantasy franchise?

Weekend Box Office: New Year’s Eve Takes Top Spot From Twilight

Laura Aguirre — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:29:26 +0000

The Twilight Saga finally got knocked down from its three-week perch at the top of the box office by none other than, New Year’s Eve. Although the star-studded movie took the top spot during its debut weekend, it is off to a dreadful start — $13.7 million. Jonah Hill‘s The Sitter followed New Year’s Eve with another low score of $10 million. Breaking Dawn Part 1 fell to No. 3, and brought in $7.9 million, bringing its worldwide total to an outstanding $633.5 million. The Muppets was No. 4 with $6.6 million; and Arthur Christmas fell to No. 5 with $6.6 million.

Check out the numbers…

New Year’s Eve | NEW | Warner Brothers | Weekend Gross $13,705,000 | Average Per Theater $3,910 | Total Gross $13,705,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 1
The Sitter | NEW | FOX | Weekend Gross $10,000,000 | Average Per Theater $3,636 | Total Gross $10,000,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 1
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 | Last Week #1 | Summit Entertainment | Weekend Gross $7,900,000 | Average Per Theater $2,192 | Total Gross $259,500,000 | Film’s Budget – $110 | Week 4
The Muppets | Last Week #2 | Buena Vista | Weekend Gross $7,073,000 | Average Per Theater $2,125 | Total Gross $65,837,000 | Film’s Budget – $45 | Week 3
Arthur Christmas | Last Week #4 | Sony | Weekend Gross $6,600,000 | Average Per Theater $2,017 | Total Gross $33,490,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 3
Hugo | Last Week #3 | Paramount | Weekend Gross $6,125,000 | Average Per Theater $2,349 | Total Gross $33,489,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 3
The Descendants | Last Week #7 | Fox Searchlight | Weekend Gross $4,835,000 | Average Per Theater $5,519 | Total Gross $23,635,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 3
Happy Feet Two | Last Week #5 | Warner Brothers | Weekend Gross $3,750,000 | Average Per Theater $1,320 | Total Gross $56,850,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 4
Jack and Jill | Last Week #6 | Sony | Weekend Gross $3,200,000 | Average Per Theater $1,148 | Total Gross $68,642,000 | Film’s Budget – $79 | Week 5
Immortals | Last Week #8 | Relativity | Weekend Gross $2,442,000 | Average Per Theater $1,068 | Total Gross $79,850,000 | Film’s Budget – $75 | Week 5

Warner Brothers’ executives must be pretty disappointed that their star-filled Holiday movie didn’t attract many people. This just goes to show that putting a bunch of big, big stars in one movie doesn’t guarantee big, big grosses. Still, we don’t feel too bad for the execs at WB, after all, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is still the highest grossing movie of 2011.

Box Office Predictions: New Year’s Eve Celebrates Early

Damon Houx — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:47:35 +0000

This Fall has been modest in comparison to many other recent years, in terms of major film releases. On paper there were a number of films that could have been $100 Million plus titles, but only Breaking Dawn has done blockbuster business, and has remained on top of the box office for three weeks. That’s going to change with the release of New Year’s Eve. Still, it’s been a slow, slow Fall.

It’s hard not to be slightly disappointed with the numbers if you’re a studio person. Films like Puss in Boots, Tower Heist, Happy Feet Two and The Muppets are decidedly underperforming – especially in relation to cost. Some may be saved by international ticket sales, but with the flood of Christmas pictures is about to hit, perhaps this year will end with more of a whimper than a bang.

The five films that should get to over $100 Million are Alvin and the Chipmunks 3, Sherlock Holmes 2, Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Adventures of Tintin and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. All of which hit theaters within eight days of each other. Now, of course it’s possible that all could perform strongly as there’s only so much crossover, but still. An outlier would be something like War Horse or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, both of which will have their fates decided by critical reception.

We’ll get into more of this when their dates approach, but after the number of pictures that underperformed this year in general, and the last two months in particular, it’s hard to say if any of those films are guaranteed hits. Mission: Impossible is probably in the best boat in that the MI films have always done well internationally, and it’s likely this will follow that pattern. But Sherlock Holmes is one of those franchises that doesn’t make that much sense. I guess if it’s the Robert Downey Jr. show, then I get it, but the first film made $200 domestic and $500 worldwide, so it’s not that it isn’t viable. It’s just hard to picture people excited by it. Chipmunks is its own phenomenon. The first film was terrible. Both films so far have done over $200 Million. Kids films.

And then we have this weekend, with Fox unleashing The Sitter. You have to feel a bit bad for David Gordon Green as he’s going to have two flops this year between this and Your Highness. Once one of the strongest voices in independent cinema, his work for hire product in Hollywood has not had the same sort of traction. And this is also bad for Jonah Hill – though he should rebound a bit with 21 Jump Street -as this should do less than Get Him to the Greek (which ended up around $60 Million). With The Sitter’s 81 minute run time, you can tell the studio wanted it as short as humanly possible. They are not proud of this film and they’re dumping it.

New Year’s Eve follows up Valentine’s Day, which was a big hit for Warner Brothers and director Gary Marhsall. Why mess with the formula? That had a great opening weekend ($56 Million) and then fell off quickly. This doesn’t have the same heat, and most people would rather be at a party than watching a movie on New Year’s eve, which makes this a harder sell. The success of a film like this involves how quickly they shot out their cast. If you’ve got A-listers working for four or five days it’s likely they got a nice package, but it could keep the film’s costs down. Valentine’s Day supposedly cost around $50 Million, so this is probably around that number, but I don’t think this is going to do as well.

So the weekend breaks down like this:

New Year’s Eve – $27.5 Million
The Sitter – $10 Million
Breaking Dawn – $7.8 Million
Hugo – $7.5 Million
The Muppets – $7.3 Million

The Sitter could go lower. Next weekend the big guns show up.

Weekend Box Office: Twilight Reigns For Third Week In A Row

Laura Aguirre — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 18:20:31 +0000

Three weeks in and Twilight is still on top of the movie box office, though not as powerful. We predicted that The Muppets would take the title over the weekend, but once again the puppet film failed to do so. Breaking Dawn Part I brought in a relatively humble sum of $16.9 this weekend, but has racked up an outstanding total of $247.3 million in the U.S. The Muppets took second place with $11.2 million; Martin Scorsese‘s critically acclaimed Hugo jumped from last week’s fifth place to third place, and brought in $7.6 million; Arthur Christmas took fourth place with $7.3 million; and Happy Feet Two fell from third to fifth place with $6 million.

Check out the numbers…

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 | Last Week #1 | Summit Entertainment | Weekend Gross $16,900,000 | Average Per Theater $4,177 | Total Gross $247,300,000 | Film’s Budget – $110 | Week 3
The Muppets | Last Week #2 | Buena Vista | Weekend Gross $11,200,000 | Average Per Theater $3,256| Total Gross $56,137,000 | Film’s Budget – $45 | Week 2
Hugo | Last Week #5 | Paramount | Weekend Gross $7,625,000 | Average Per Theater $4,144 | Total Gross $25,188,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 2
Arthur Christmas | Last Week #4 | Sony | Weekend Gross $7,350,000 | Average Per Theater $2,177 | Total Gross $25,292,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 2
Happy Feet Two | Last Week #3 | Warner Brothers | Weekend Gross $6,000,000 | Average Per Theater $1,697 | Total Gross $51,785,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 3
Jack and Jill | Last Week #6 | Sony | Weekend Gross $5,500,000 | Average Per Theater $1,804 | Total Gross $64,308,000 | Film’s Budget – $79 | Week 4
The Descendants | Last Week #9 | Fox Searchlight | Weekend Gross $5,200,000 | Average Per Theater $9,059 | Total Gross $18,087,000 | Film’s Budget – N/A | Week 3
Immortals | Last Week #7 | Relativity | Weekend Gross $4,394,000 | Average Per Theater $1,673 | Total Gross $75,588,000 | Film’s Budget – $75 | Week 4
Tower Heist | Last Week #10 | Universal | Weekend Gross $4,100,000 | Average Per Theater $1,705 | Total Gross $70,800,000 | Film’s Budget – $75 | Week 5

The Descendants keeps climbing up the box office ladder–the George Clooney film jumped from ninth to seventh place and brought in $5.2 million. There weren’t any big releases over the weekend, just a handful of smaller films like Shame, the NC-17 rated movie with Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan.
