“Hancock” triumphs the Fourth of July holiday with $41.3 million in box office before the fireworks light up the sky.
The tally goes like this an estimated $17.1 million Thursday, following carts of $17.4 million on its first official release day, Wednesday, and $6.8 million from “preview” play dates on Tuesday night.
Inspired by a graphic-novel series, the action film seems totally on the mark to go beyond $100 million domestically through Sunday.
I took a gander at Ain’t It Cool News and discovered that the site posted some of the lost images of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. As you recall, I posted about the finding of the images in Bueno Aires this week.
The images are mesmerising and say quite a bit visually. Take a look by going to AICN site. I look forward to seeing the completely restored, original production by Lang.

Bottle Shock is based on a true story about a father and son, Jim and Bo Barrett, who put California wines on the map for good by besting the exalted French wines in 1976. Since I am from California and have enjoyed the Napa Wines, I can’t wait to see this movie.
A former real estate attorney, Jim (Bill Pullman) gave up everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is struggling, and he’s not only trying to overcome differences with his slacker son (Chris Pine), but is fighting off the creditors.
Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier (Alan Rickman) hopes to stimulate his own failing business by sponsoring a competition which will pit the established French powerhouse against the California upstarts. Little did Steven and Jim comprehend that they were both on course to change the history of wine forever.
I am a Harry Potter fan. I read all J.K. Rowling’s books to my daughter. With November less than half a year away, Warner Bros. let some more production stills out for promotion. My first reaction was “how much those kids have grown.” Knowing the outcome of Half-Blood Prince and the overall plot, the pictures tug at me a little. I am interested. The one with Jim Broadbent as Horace Slughorn the new potions teacher is great. The picture with Harry and Hermione is beautiful and refreshing. But where is Volt…?
The Day the Earth Still movie trailer is out. Although it looks great and all, I keep remembering the original, which I dearly love. It is hard to out do Robert Wise with Michael Rennie, Patrica Neal and Sam Jaffe.
Okay, I have posted several Disaster Movie posters at this site. Now, here is the official poster for Disaster Movie, the latest genre spoof from filmmakers Jason Friedbeg and Aaron Seltzer. Disaster Movie follows the comic misadventures of a group of ridiculously attractive twenty-somethings during one fateful night while every known natural disaster and catastrophic event - asteroids, twisters, earthquakes, you name it “the works” – hits the city and their path.
A new one-sheet for Dead Air has appeared online, showing off Bill Moseley in the upcoming zombie genre film. It tells the story of a radio show team attempting to warn its listeners after huge explosions infect people with a virus that turns them into zombies.
Patricia Tallman, Joshua Feinman and David Moscow star alongside Moseley. No release date is currently attached to the project.
