    THE ROCK BEATS THE JEDI! INSIDOUS not far behind

    STAR WARS Episode VIII is being beaten by Sony’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in first place with a stellar $35.8M third weekend in a row!

    The unexpected hit starring Jack Black, the ROCK, and Madison Iseman is creating a stir of various demographics. Most who see it love it.. even those who expected to be lukewarm end up completely diving into the strange and amazing world that JUMANJI has to offer..
    INSIDIOUS THE LAST KEY is holding its own, as well! Bolstered by the continuous creep down of STAR WARS, the horror flick has enough cash to finish second place this weekend..
    INTERNAL INDUSTRY ESTIMATES for this weekend now revealed:
    1. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle  (SONY), 3,801 theaters (+36) / $10.7M Fri (-39%)/3-day: $35.8M (-28%)/Total:$244.1M/ Wk 3
    2. Insidious: The Last Key (UNI), 3,116 theaters (0)/ $12.7M  Fri/3-day: $25.9M/ Wk 1
    3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi(DIS), 4,232 theaters (0)/ $6.7M  Fri (-65%)/3-day: $23.6M  (-55%)/Total:$572.5M/ Wk 4
    4. The Greatest Showman  (FOX), 3,342 theaters (+26) / $4.1M Fri (-22%) / 3-day: $14.1M (-9%)/Total: $77.2M/Wk 3
    5. Pitch Perfect 3  (UNI), 3,458 theaters (-10)/ $3.3M  Fri (-50%)/3-day: $10.5M (-37%)/Total: $86.2M/ Wk 3

    Roger Friedman is noting the amount of a drop LAST JEDI has had — along with that a joke that Blumhouse must be feeding their actors now.. that joke because normally horror flicks from the company are budgeted at $5 mil.. INSIDIOUS was $10..

  • Why Jennifer Lawrence’s movie ‘Mother!” bombed at the box office – INSIDER

    Why Jennifer Lawrence’s movie ‘Mother!” bombed at the box office – INSIDER

    Why Jennifer Lawrence’s movie ‘Mother!” bombed at the box office – INSIDER:

    The ideas come from an outside source.. not my thoughts nor did I see the film. Most likely won’t.

    But perhaps the best reason the foiled attempt at a movie really flopped? People found out about a scene in it that probably went too far, even for ‘art’ and allegory:

    A cult kills a baby, tears it to pieces, eats it, and beats up Jennifer Lawrence. It’s not easy to recommend to friends.

    mother! just scored Jennifer Lawrence the worst box office opening of her career..

    The reviews were awful.
    The critics panned..
    The citizens revolted and were revulsed.

    Babies were not harmed in the filming, but everyone’s eyes who watched an infant be eaten were..

    This movie may have been the worst scored movie in years… An “F” with CinemaScore.. some of the worst and most sarcastic reviews and comments on ROTTEN TOMATOES..

    Today Jennifer Lawrence is suffering the worst wide box office opening of her career..

    FROM THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:

    Darren Aronofsky’s mother! stalled in its domestic box office debut, earning an estimated $7.5 million from 2,368 theaters after receiving a rare F CinemaScore and facing competition from blockbuster It.
    mother!, an elevated psychological horror-thriller, supplants The House at the End of the Street($12.3 million) to mark the lowest nationwide launch of Jennifer Lawrence’s career. The Paramount title, costing $30 million to produce, came in No. 3 for the weekend behind It and new offering American Assassin. (In a sign that summer is over, all three titles are rated R.)
    Warner Bros. and New Line’s It continued to make history in its second weekend, declining a scant 51 percent to $60 million from 4,103 theaters, the biggest sophomore outing ever for a horror title.

    JOKER origin movie being planned

    JOKER origin movie being planned :

    DEADLINE has the exclusive:
    Warner Bros and DC are in the early stages of another Batman Universe spinoff movie, this one telling the origin story of the signature villain The Joker. The studio has set The Hangover‘s Todd Phillips to co-write a script with 8 Mile scribe Scott Silver. Phillips will direct the movie, and Martin Scorsese will produce it with Phillips. This will be the first film under a new banner that has yet to be named in which WB can expand the canon of DC properties and create unique storylines with different actors playing the iconic characters.

    The storyline reportedly will be set in the early 1980s and will most likely be a gritty crime drama..

    Jared Leto will most likely NOT be the Joker, despite his reprisal of the role in SUICIDE SQUAD 2 and the HARLEY QUINN spin off..

  • CRUISE CONTROL

    CRUISE CONTROL

    Tom Cruise was the reason the MUMMY melted down this summer at the box office.. so says new reporting in Hollywood circles.. Apparently the star was fully in charge of the movie..

    FROM VARIETY

    There were few signs that a major blockbuster was about to premiere when “The Mummy” rolled into Manhattan last week. The marquee of the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theatres had gone blank. The carpet was totally covered with black plastic. Security only let guests past barricades after quizzing them about what they were there to see, and everybody had to walk through two imposing metal detectors.
    Inside the theater, Tom Cruise was jubilant, as he stood in front of the crowd. “Hey y’all,” said the 54-year-old actor. He introduced Alex Kurtzman, the film’s director, as well as the cast members, who stood quietly as Cruise delivered a 10-minute improvised speech. “Movies aren’t made by single people,” he said. “It’s a team effort.”
    But in the case of “The Mummy,” one person–Cruise–had an excessive amount of control, according to several people interviewed. The reboot of “The Mummy” was supposed to be the start of a mega-franchise for Universal Pictures. But instead, it’s become a textbook case of a movie star run amok.
    As Hollywood is playing the blame game on what went wrong on “The Mummy,” which had a measly domestic opening of just $32 million, many fingers are pointing to Cruise. In the same way that he commanded the stage at the film’s premiere, leaving his cast standing awkwardly by his side, several sources close to the production say that Cruise exerted nearly complete creative oversight on “The Mummy,” essentially wearing all the hats and dictating even the smallest decisions on the set. On stage, Cruise admitted his own perfectionist tendencies. “I don’t just make a movie. I give it everything I have and I expect it from everyone also.”
    Universal, according to sources familiar with the matter, contractually guaranteed Cruise control of most aspects of the project, from script approval to post-production decisions. He also had a great deal of input on the film’s marketing and release strategy, these sources said, advocating for a June debut in a prime summer period.

  • Tom Holland ready to bring in the Spidey Bacon

    Tom Holland ready to bring in the Spidey Bacon

    Inside sources hoping or praying: The first tracking figures are in for next month’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” which is on course to earn in the neighborhood of $90-108 million domestically in its opening weekend on July 7th.

    That’s erring towards Sam Raimi’s first “Spider-Man” in 2002 which made $114.8 million in its opening weekend, and a big improvement on Marc Webb’s “The Amazing Spider-Man” which made $62 million in its three-day domestic opening.
