Weekend Box Office: April 22, 2013

Another weekend has passed, films have been watched, box office reports are in, totals have been tallied. Let’s see what story they tell.

#1 Oblivion

$38.1 Million Domestic / $112 Million Foreign = $150.1 Million Worldwide Total

Winning the top spot on it’s first weekend outing, Oblivion slides in to home plate with a weekend domestic gross of $38.1 Million. That may be decent, but it’s not knocking your socks off for a $120 Million budget, however foreign charts or through the roof pushing the worldwide total to $150.1 Million. That already pushes the film above it’s production…

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ New TV Spot “Go”

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ New TV Spot “Go”

Check out this new TV spot for Star Trek Into Darkness that actually has a couple of shots and some dialog that we have not seen or heard before. Given how much they put in the final theatrical trailer, that’s saying something. I didn’t think we would get any new bits or anything really new at all before the film came out at this point.

After watching the trailer, you may want to head on over to TrekMovie.com to get a little bit of break down and analysis of the new stuff in this trailer.

Peggy Carter Short Film Featuring Haley Atwell?

Peggy Carter Short Film Featuring Haley Atwell?
The Age

“There’s been an online campaign for Peggy to be featured. People really liked her. So Marvel have made sure that as part of Comicon there will be a little kind of snapshot as to what Peggy’s actually really capable of, which was finished here and which was great fun. Hopefully, it will lead to other things.”

Be it a movie or television series spin-off, Atwell would love a chance to play Peggy once more and to flesh out her character.

I think we’d all like to see more of Peggy Carter. Though not the star of Captain America she was one of the shining bright lights of the story. But I…

M83 - ‘Oblivion’ Title Track Live

M83 - ‘Oblivion’ Title Track Live

If like me you enjoyed Oblivion quite a bit, and also found the soundtrack to be top notch, then you might be interested in checking out this video of M83 performing the title track of the film live on Jimmy Kimmel.

They were joined by award winning Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør. I enjoyed watching this performance immensely. It’s an amazing performance from an amazing soundtrack.

Don’t forget that you can stream the entire ‘Oblivion’ score right here on MovieByte.com and get a feel and taste for the whole film.

‘Iron Man 3’ Behind the Scenes

‘Iron Man 3’ Behind the Scenes

Iron Man 3 hits the theaters on May 3rd, but if you are like the rest of us and are looking for just about anything you can get your hands on in anticipation of this film, then you will want to check out this 6 minute long behind the scenes video. No talking, no interviews, just raw behind the scenes footage of stuff happening on set.

As far as I can tell there aren’t any spoilers or anything like that. Everything appears to be either non-important, or things we already know.

Check it out!

What to see: Weekend of April 19, 2013

What to see: Weekend of April 19, 2013

We’ve got what I think is going to be a goody this week! Oblivion is now out in theaters and I am greatly looking forward to this film. They’ve really been pumping out the trailers and promotional material so I hope they haven’t overdone it and I hope it’s good!

Opening This Weekend!

Oblivion - PG-13
This film is being pushed hard by the marketing team and it’s one that got my attention and interest over the last several weeks. I saw it Thursday night and let me tell you it was an awesome film and I highly recomend it. I’m still mulling over my star rating, but I’m pretty sure I will…

‘The Internship’ Trailer 2

‘The Internship’ Trailer 2

Because apparently this is not a joke and this movie is being made. It stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. And apparently they are going to intern at Google.

There’s lots of opportunity for humor, and some of it off color, but something doesn’t quite sit right about this humor. it feels like the writers are as out of touch with tech culture as Wilson and Vaugh are supposed to be in the film.

But whatever. This film comes out on June 7 so buckle up for the thrillz!!!1!!

Harrison Ford on Jimmy Kimmel - NO STAR WARS QUESTIONS

Harrison Ford on Jimmy Kimmel - NO STAR WARS QUESTIONS

Harrison Ford had a bit of a run in with some folks on the Jimmy Kimmel show. He was nice enough to Kimmel, who quickly moved off the Star Wars subject and solicited questions from the audience. But then, man, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea because that really set Ford off.

I mean, see for yourself. And be sure to watch before you read my comments below.

(Be warned that some of the humor could be considered a bit crude or crass)




Man, he is so good at acting (surprise) like he is perturbed and put out that you can’t really tell if it’s an act or not at first. And even part…

Joseph Kosinski Developing ‘Blade Runner’ Meets ‘BSG’ TV Series

Joseph Kosinski Developing ‘Blade Runner’ Meets ‘BSG’ TV Series
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

Tron: Legacy” and “Oblivion” director Joseph Kosinski is teaming with “Pacific Rim” writer Travis Beacham for the pretty awesomely titled “Ballistic City.” The ambitious premise is set in a city contained within a spaceship that’s headed to an unknown world, following a former cop who falls into the criminal underworld, in something that’s described as a cross between “Blade Runner” and “Battlestar Galactica.” And that’s a mix we can get behind. Right now, the show is in development with both Kosinski and Beacham executive producing, with the former to direct while the latter…
