After opening to a strong $62 million last weekend the focus turned to how the legs would be for Inception. That has now been answered with the film displaying the result of great word-of-mouth and increased awareness. Inception came in first at the box office for the second straight weekend pulling in a very impressive $43.5 million. That makes out to be a drop of just 30%. It has now collected over $143 million and worldwide is over $225 million. Those are huge numbers for an original film a...

Comic-Con Trailer: Saw 3D
The Comic-Con panel for Saw 3D brought the debut of the trailer for the seventh and as announced final one in the series. The Saw franchise has made over $730 million worldwide and sold over 30 million DVDs, all the while being made on relatively low budgets making each one profitable despite some drops in box office take for the last few. There is understandable skepticism though, with many believing if Saw 3D is a hit that the studio will find an excuse to keep it going. The movie is slated ...

Comic-Con Trailer: Red
The panel for the graphic novel adaptation Red at Comic-Con today was one of the most entertaining. Bruce Willis was funny as usual, Helen Mirren was really amusing and clearly having fun with a role that is so different for her, and I really like Mary-Louise Parker.

While I remain somewhat iffy on the film as it just hasn't clicked wi...

The movie also stars Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen. The story centers on Sam attempting to find his father, who has ...
