Weekend Box Office Report: ‘The Purge’ Wipes Out ‘The Internship’
For the second week in a row, a David has taken down a Goliath. Last week, a little magician thriller handily derailed a Will Smith juggernaut and this week, the tiny horror film 'The Purge' took 'The Internship' down a peg or a dozen. We're one month in and this summer movie season has already given us plenty of surprises at the box office.
‘Escape Plan’ Poster: Schwarzenegger and Stallone vs. the Prison System
'Escape Plan' (previously titled 'The Tomb') feels like a movie we've been waiting 30 years to see: a team-up between action icons Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Technically, the two musclebound actors appeared together in the 'Expendables' films, but that was a glorified cameo on Arnie's part. This one is the real deal.

‘Expendables 3′ Making Mel Gibson the Bad Guy?
With 'The Expendables 3' already casting every washed-up actor in the history of ever, it should come as no surprise that Sylvester Stallone is apparently courting Mel Gibson.

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘After Earth’ and ‘Now You See Me’ Can’t Catch ‘Fast and Furious 6′
How rare is it for a Will Smith sci-fi blockbuster to not open at number one at the box office?

‘Expendables 3′ Adding Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich to the Cast
The 'Expendables' franchise is built entirely on the idea that watching a whole bunch of movie stars (from former legends to C-listers) kill a whole bunch of people will make for a good time at the movies. Franchise star and chief creative voice Sylvester Stallone has promised that 'The Expendables 3' will up the ante in every way and the news that Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Mill
Final ‘Monsters University’ Trailer: ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ but With Monsters
The final 'Monsters University' trailer is here and it gives us our best look yet at the latest film from Pixar. Although we're still not completely sold on this one (more on that in a bit), a Pixar release is generally a cause for celebration and animation fans will find much to appreciate here.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Fast and Furious 6′ Leaves ‘The Hangover Part 3′ in the Dust
What looked like one of the big box office showdowns of the summer turned out to not be battle at all. Not only did 'Fast and Furious 6' take the number one spot at the box office, it did it while shattering records, leaving 'The Hangover Part 3' coughing on its exhaust.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Boldly Goes to Number One
When is a $70 million opening not a success? When its predecessor opened to $75 million four years ago. This is the predicament facing 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' which opened at number one at box office while being something of a disappointment.

‘Anchorman 2′ Trailer: Stay Classy, Fat Face!

‘Man of Steel’ Featurettes Show Us Just How Super Superman Really Is
How many superpowers does Superman have? So many that you could create an entire series of 'Man of Steel' featurettes on the subject and not even begin to get to the bottom of it.
