'New Moon' Stars Earn A Multi-Million Dollar Payday

Share




The big box office that The Twilight Saga: New Moon stars earned with an impressive opening weekend will not go unsung. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have found that their $2 million salary from the original Twilight was bumped up to $12 million for the sequel New Moon. In addition, the twosome are reportedly getting a percentage of the film's profits.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, it can be assumed that the on-screen couple received an additional $12 million for their work in Eclipse and hopefully, for Breaking Dawn, they should get slightly more than that sum.

Long story short, these kids will definitely be enjoying the holiday season in style.

'New Moon' Isn't Just For Teens: Moms Love It Too

Share




In its opening weekend, The Twilight Saga: New Moon took in a whopping $140.7 million since its Los Angeles premiere. And an article by USA Today confirms what we've already suspected--it's not just lovesick tweens who bought tickets for the vampire love story. A love story, we seem hell bent on making into a reality between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Adult women--including mothers and grandmothers--have found themselves entranced by the books and consequently lined up at the movie theater. 35-year-old Stay-at-home mom, Lori Joffs tells the newspaper, "But as an adult who has faced reality, it's escapism of a different kind, remembering those first twitches of falling in love and reliving it through Bella."

Member of the University of Missouri's communications department, Jennifer Stevens Aubrey, is studying the popularity of the Twilight franchise and tells USA Today, "Teens perceive Edward as an ideal romantic mate, despite being a vampire and rather controlling and what someone said is the likeliest candidate for a restraining order. He's so into her. The adults compare him to their own partners, who obviously can't match up."

Meanwhile, we can't help but wondering how the relationship is going in real life. KStew and RPattz certainly seem to be having a good time, but then again, they're always so secretive.

Megan Fox Talks Jennifer's Body

Share




Oy vey.  This one again.  Happy Monday!

Megan Fox had a long chat with the New York Times where she continues to unleash the crazy on us unsuspecting lot.  Ok, so we're a bit suspecting by now.

She spoke briefly about the stink-bomb that was Jennifer's Body:

"People expected Jennifer's Body to make so much money, but I was doubtful. The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America. It's obviously a girl-power movie, but it's also about how scary girls are. Girls can be a nightmare."

Traitor!  She's out of the secret girl club.  She also had this to say:

"If I was to have a message, it would be to be a different kind of role model to girls. With Jennifer's Body, I want to say, It's O.K. to be different from how you're supposed to be. I worry that's totally lost."

Hmm, is that the message I was supposed to get from a lesbian zombie movie?  I guess I was busy being a scary nightmare.  But hey, I like to start a Monday morning saying something nice, so at least homegirl looks good in her underwear.

'Precious' Charms The Box Office

Share




Critical reviews of the independent film darling, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, have earned the film high praise at both Cannes and the Toronto Film Festival, along with an endorsement by talk show host, Oprah Winfrey.

However, there was concern that the movie's dark subject matter wouldn't be able able to lure movie goers into theaters. With Precious earning an average of $100,000 from 18 screens in four cities, the future of the Lee Daniels-directed film looks anything but grim.

But then again, it has Mariah Carey in a mustache, which is hard--if not impossible--to pass up.

Brad Pitt's 'Basterds' Bumped Off By 'Final Destination'

Share




The box office success of Quentin Tarantino's action flick, Inglourious Basterds, has enjoyed remarkable box office success, due in no small part to the magnetic pull of its A-list star Brad Pitt.

However, it seems that even Brad's high-profile appear could keep the film in the top spot forever. Horror movie sequel, The Final Destination, knocked Pitt's WWII picture out of the number one position at the box office.

But, as you can see from the movie star's jovial demeanor here out to dinner at a fancy restaurant in Spain, he's managing to cope just fine.

'Inglourious Basterds' Kills At The Box Office

Share




Despite its awkward spelling, Quentin Tarantino's latest film, Inglourious Basterds, kicked ass and took names at the box office on its opening weekend. The WWII film, starring Brad Pitt, took in an impressive $37.6 million in ticket sales with its debut over the weekend.

This weekend's opening marks the best ever for director, Quentin. A box office analyst for Hollywood.com interprets that as follows: "Tarantino helped build the house of Miramax. He's proving right now that he's helping to build the house of Weinstein."

It seems Quentin's insistence on casting Brad Pitt was a smart move. He might be able to save the A-listers from oblivion after all!

'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince' Is A Midnight Success

Share




Here it goes again! Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince open Wednesday, July 15 at midnight, and what a midnight showing it was. The film earned $22.2 million for its midnight opening, beating the previous record held by The Dark Knight, which made $18.5 million.

We won't know until the end of the day if Harry Potter also beat The Dark Knight's single day record of $67.1 million, but I'm willing to bet it's going to be high up there.

According to Reuters, some of the media have speculated that the fan base for the films, made up of mostly teens and pre-teens, may feel too old for the films. That's bullshit. I was at the midnight showing and it wasn't just teens and pre-teens. It was teens, pre-teens, adults, young adults, mother with their kids, fathers with their kids, and even some who looked like they should be in a nursing home. Ooo, that was mean.

Anyway, people are obsessed with these films (the Vatican loved it!) and it my opinion will keep watching them until there aren't anymore, which is actually happening quite soon, but we don't like to talk about it. So far, the Potter films have made over $4.5 billion worldwide since 2001, and it doesn't look like there will be any stopping them now.

Bruno Wins The Hearts Of Millions

Share




Despite mixed review, Sacha Baron Cohen's latest mockumentary, Bruno, finished first at the box office by grossing $30.4 million. However, all is not great for Bruno. The film was first on Friday, dropped 39% on Saturday and came in third on Sunday. Ouch.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs came in at No. 2 with $28.5 million, dropping only 32 percent from last weekend. The animated family film has made $120.6 million in two weeks. Third place went to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen which grossed $24.2 million in its third weekend, bringing its total to $339.2 million.

Public Enemies (No. 4 with $14.1 million) and The Proposal (No. 5 with $10.5 million) round out the top five. The Proposal marks star Sandra Bullock's first $100 million picture since 2000's Miss Congeniality, and the romantic comedy should have no trouble passing 1994's Speed to become Bullock's biggest hit. The weekend's other new wide release, the teen comedy I Love You, Beth Cooper, opened at No. 7 with $5 million.

Shirtless Shia LaBeouf Runs From Robots To Box Office Domination

Share




After only two weeks of being released in the United States, the summer action flick starring Shia LaBeouf has rocketed past the 300 million dollar mark at the box office, giving Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs a run for its money.

Worldwide, Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen has already earned $600 million, zeroing in on the $700 million dollar mark made by the first installment of the series.

Meanwhile, everybody's been making such a fuss over the movie's star, Megan Fox, and her seductive car washing abilities. Perhaps, if we're lucky, Shia will get in on the wax-on, wax-off action if there's a third film.
