It’s about to be the season of Snow White as two live-action movie adaptations of the classic fairy tale, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ and ‘Mirror, Mirror, will soon hit theaters.
After a couple poor weekends out of the gate, ‘John Carter’ is poised to become one of the worst movie investments in history. Analysts expect the Walt Disney Co. to take a $165 million loss that will earn it the indignity cast upon forgettable films like ‘Ishtar’ and ‘Howard the Duck.’ A variety of reasons for the movie’s poor performance have been floated — from casting to plot to promotion. Whatever the cause, it wouldn’t be the first time Hollywood banked on a splashy blockbuster and lost big. Here’s a look back at some of Hollywood’s most colossal failures.
’21 Jump Street,’ the movie version of the 1980s television show that introduced the world to the phenomenon known as Johnny Depp, opened strong with $35 million to easily take the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Sci-fi, horror or comedy? Take your pick. All three genres have movies opening in wide-release this weekend.
Theodor Geisel — better known as Dr. Seuss — died more than a decade ago, but his legend lives on. Case in point? The movie ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax’ opened strong with $70.7 million in revenues, topping the box office charts this weekend.
Whether you’re in the mood for the colorful stylings of Dr. Seuss or some good old-fashioned frat boy humor, the two movies being released this weekend should give you something to look forward to.
The ultimate superhero crossover movie is almost here. Marvel released the full trailer for ‘The Avengers’ today, which shows Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Nick Fury in action. While the teaser trailer hinted at the action to come, this new trailer lays it all out there for you (including plenty of shots of a rampaging Hulk).
Americans’ fascination with the Navy SEALs translated to a big opening for ‘Act of Valor,’ which earned $24.7 million and first place at the box office this weekend.
We know winter has been long and cold, so duck into a theater this weekend to shake off the doldrums — the four new flicks opening in wide release should have a little something for everyone.
There are a lot of movies to look forward to in 2012. So many, in fact, it’s easy to lose track of everything. We took a look back at some of the best movie trailers of the year to give you an idea of what 2012 has to offer at the movie theater. While the year is still young, there are already some amazing trailers.
Ticket prices for movies recently hit an all-time high of almost $8.00, and with the current state of the economy, that’s meant a lot of people don’t head to cineplexes as often as they used to.

There are only two new movies in wide release this weekend, but they both feature marquis names.
