From second, to sixth, to last, Dracula Untold should have remained untold,
but it already double its production budget of $70 million so expect to hear
about Dracula Untold 2 any day now.
Directed by Gary Shore, Dracula Untold stars Luke Evans, Sarah Gadon, Dominic
Cooper, Charles Dance, and Charlie Cox and is the first in Universal's attempt
at a monster shared cinematic universe.
It seems that the audience doesn't want to see Robert Downey Jr. playing anything
else other than Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, which is sad
In its third week running, director David Dobkin The Judge opened in fifth,
dropped to seventh, and is now one spot short of last. The film as yet to hit
its production budget of 50 million, and they way things are going it will difficult to make a serious return
From fifth to eighth, this new movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel is a
clear message that (most) people are fed up with this kind of bad melodrama.
Regardless of how I feel about movies based on novels by Sparks, numbers
are numbers and The Best of Me has yet to achieve its production budget. I'm
sure that it will, let's not forget that one of the biggest allies these films
have it's their small budgets, I mean even the posters are the same.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day has achieved
what it set out to do and is now collecting the interests. The comedy starring
Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Bella Thorne, Dylan Minnette, Megan Mullaly, and
Jennifer Coolidge as nearly double its $28 million budget and it's this month
highest grossing comedy.
New and yet not is St. Vincent, which after three weeks finally rises
through the ranks and lands itself in sixth. Written and directed by Theodore
Melfi, St. Vincent stars Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, Chris
O'Dowd, Terrence Howard, and Nate Corddry and went from opening in 36, to 15,
and 6, maybe next week it hits number 1?
Dropping slightly is the Guillermo del Toro
produced animation, The Book of Life. The animation counts with the voice work
of Diego Luna, Zoe Saldana, Channing Tatum Ron Perlman, Christina
Applegate, Ice Cube, Danny Trejo, and Cheech Marin.
Directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez "the
fantasy-adventure, tells the legend of Manolo, a conflicted hero and dreamer
who sets off on an epic quest through magical worlds in order to rescue his one
true love and defend his village."
David Fincher's date movie of the year, Gone Girl
drops from the podium.
The heavy drama stars Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne,
the lead suspect of his wife Amy (Rosamund Pike) disappearance on their fifth
wedding anniversary.
Gone Girl also stars Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens,
Patrick Fugit, Scoot McNairy, Missi Pyle, Casey Wilson, Emily Ratajkowski and
Neil Patrick Harris.
David Ayer's World War II drama, Fury is unable to
resist to two premieres and drops down from first.
Starring Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, Shia
Labeouf, and Jon Bernthal, Fury follows a Sherman tank crew through the horrors
of the Second World War.
Ayer's is currently attached to helm Warner Bros./DC
Comics, Suicide Squad to be released on August 5, 2016.
Keanu Reeves is back in action in directors David
Leitch, and Chad Stahelski's, John Wick, which also stars Adrianne Palicki,
Willem Dafoe, Michael Nyqvist, Brigit Moynahan, Ian McShane, Alfie Allen, and
Jason Isaacs.
John Wick is a good entertaining movie, and I suspect
that next week's premieres might not offer much fight, then again, Horns stars
Daniel Radcliffe, and there is some Oscar buzz about Jake Gyllenhaal in
Nightcrawler.
The spirits listened to director Stiles White begging to make Ouija open in first, and it did. On a production budget of cheap (I'm
assuming since it was produced by Blum), Ouija made $21 million and change so
it's safe to assume it already made it's money back and then some.
Ouija stars Shelley Hennig (Teen Wolfe), Douglas Smith
(Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters), and Olivia Cooke (Bate Motel).
