‘Glee’ Movie is a Box Office Bomb

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 16th, 2011

Glee: The 3D Concert Movie didn’t get the numbers everyone was hoping for at the box office. It only took in $5.7 Million during its opening weekend, which may indicate the Glee franchise is fading.

The movie cost roughly $9 Million to produce, according to Rolling Stone. The movie is a documentary of the TV show’s cast going on their summer arena tour.

It’s not a mystery why this film flopped.

Harry Potter Films Could Get 3D Theatrical Releases

Posted by Christian Allaire on April 23rd, 2011

The magic is about to get a whole lot more real.

Producers of the hit franchise ‘Harry Potter’ are planning on releasing ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1′ in 3D for a Blu-ray release. Funny, because just last year, the producers ditched plans to release it in 3D in theaters. Change of heart, I guess.

But it doesn’t stop there. The rest of the franchise may get the 3D treatment too. “We’re doing 3-D for the DVD of ’7, Part 1,’ and there’s been no discussion of anything else yet,” producer David Heyman told MTV News recently. “But I suspect the studio is going to be reluctant to let it die, and if there’s an opportunity to maybe enrich … ”

Back in March 2010, Heyman also said “I’m sure it’s just a matter of time” regarding the 3D conversion of the entire series. Looks like he’s a man of his word.

For now, though, the filmmakers are racing to finish “Deathly Hallows, Part 2″ before the July release and working on the conversion of the first part for the Blu-ray.

“We’re very pleased with the way ‘Part 1′ is going – the 3-D for the Blu-ray,” producer David Barron said. “It’s really exciting, really involved.”

“I was surprised at how wonderful it is. It is different in some ways [than the theatrical release], but it’s enriching,” said Heyman. “The quality is quite different… It’s much easier, in a way, to do 3-D for a smaller screen than it is for a bigger screen.”

And there you have it. I personally don’t get the whole 3D trend, it gives me a headache, but if others love it then power to them.

Ben Affleck to Join Star-Studded Gatsby Cast

Posted by RM Franks on April 8th, 2011

Mad-scientist director Baz Luhrmann is hard at work on his new film adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby.

The film is already featuring huge names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan, and is also set to be shot in 3D (because nothing says 3D like early 20th century American literature).

Oh yah, and now Ben Affleck is getting in on the fun also.

Apparently Affleck, who now directs (Gone Baby Gone, The Town), is busy helming his 3rd directorial project, Argo. However if he can coordinate his schedule, the actor would play Tom Buchanan, the materialistic husband of Carey Mulligan’s Daisy.

Luhrmann must not have too much in store for the character of Buchanan, as Affleck’s acting has been parodied for being extremely one-dimensional and bland. (His directing ability is another story entirely.)

In the words of Bobb’e J. Thompson in Role Models, “You white? You Ben Affleck.”

The apocalypse is nigh!!!!

Justin Bieber has reportedly hacked off his silky locks and ditched his signature bowl cut for a shorter, more grown up look. We know fans thought it’d never happen, but as the Biebs always says, never say never!

Though nothing’s been confirmed about the photo, #RIPhaiflip is already trending on Twitter!

We like the Bieb’s new look, but we’re still not sure how we feel about him after that revealing Rolling Stone interview…

‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Proves 3D Wins At The Box Office

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 28th, 2010

“How to Train Your Dragon” took the box office win with ease, taking in $43.3 Million ($11.5 Million from IMAX)

The performance by the film is not surprising. With amazing 3D animation, a solid plot, and all star cast of voices, “Dragon” was destined to beat the box office. The movie would have even done better at IMAX theatres if it weren’t for a continual strong showing by “Alice in Wonderland.”

Our own Jordan Bortolotti saw the film prior to the release and was brought to tears (and he doesn’t cry easily).
