Box Office Report: 'The Conjuring' scares up $41.5 Mil in its opening weekend

Marking a record of sorts, New Line's $20 million horror pic The Conjuring raced to a $41.5 million North American debut, moving ahead of ‘R.I.P.D’ and Dreamworks’ ‘Turbo’.

The Conjuring, directed by horror maestro James Wan, has done exceptionally well, scoring the top opening ever for an original R-rated horror pic, and is a major win for New Line and Warner Bros. The movie, earning an A- Cinema Score, stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as paranormal investigators who help a family terrorized by a dark force. Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor also star in the film, based on a true story.

"It shows that fresh material attracts audiences in a big way. The real-life aspect makes it look cool and the movie scares the stuffing out of you," said WB executive VP domestic distribution Jeff Goldstein.

‘The Conjuring’ has a 84% score on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ and has largely been receiving positive word of mouth and great reviews.

The film has raced ahead of its counterparts, Universal’s ‘R.I.P.D’ and Dreamworks’ ‘Turbo’.

R.I.P., R.I.P.D. Conjuring Scares Up Box Office

As was anticipated the four films that opened this weekend, while

not disappointing relative to expectations were not enough to keep

The Dark Knight Rises from elevating last year’s box office over that

of 2013 in the equivalent week.

Least noteworthy of the four in gross as well as Cinemascore was

R.I.P.D. which received a C+ Cinemascore and opened below our

expectations of 15 Million. Turbo and Red 2 (Cinemascore A and

B+ respectively) both came in near anticipated levels, but The Conjuring

popped up, compensating for R.I.P.D. Conjuring received a

very nice (certainly for horror) A– Cinemascore and is expected to

hold better than most scare fests do.

Next week The Wolverine re-ignites the box office fire and will lead

us back to positive territory year over year as the films opening in

2012, The Watch and Step Up Revolution were less than impressive

in their weekend totals of 12.7 and 11.7 million respectively.

Upcoming Releases

July 26 - 28, 2013

The Wolverine is an American-Australian superhero film featuring the Marvel Comics character Wolverine. It is intended to be the sixth installment in the X-Men

film series and follows the events of X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). Hugh Jackman reprises his role from previous films as the title character, with James Mangold

directing a screenplay written by Christopher McQuarrie, Scott Frank, and Mark Bomback, based on the 1982 limited series Wolverine by Chris Claremont and Frank

Miller.

McQuarrie was hired to write a screenplay for The Wolverine in August 2009. In October 2010, Darren Aronofsky was hired to direct the film. The project was

delayed following Aronofsky's departure and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. In June 2011, Mangold was brought on board to replace

Aronofsky and Bomback was hired to rewrite the screenplay in September 2011. The supporting characters were cast in July 2012 with principal photography

beginning at the end of the month in New South Wales before moving to Tokyo in August 2012 and back to New South Wales in October 2012. The film was

converted to 3D in post-production.

The Wolverine is scheduled to be released on July 24, 2013 in various international markets; July 25, 2013 in Australia.

Machine Which Makes Everything Disappear, The: A filmmaker puts out a casting call for

young adults, aged 15- to 23. The director wants to make a film about growing up in her home

country, Georgia, and find commonalities across social and ethnic lines. She travels through

cities and villages interviewing the candidates who responded and filming their daily lives. The

boys and girls who responded to the call are radically different from one another, as are their

personal reasons for auditioning. Some want be movie stars and see the film as a means to that

end; others want to tell their personal story. One girl wants to call to account the mother who

abandoned her; one boy wants to share the experience of caring for his handicapped family

members; another wants to clear the name of a brother, currently serving a jail sentence.

Together, their tales weave a kaleidoscopic tapestry of war and love, wealth and poverty,

creating an extraordinarily complex vision of a modern society that still echoes with its Soviet

past.

Director Zack SnyderUnites Superman and Batman in One Explosive New Film

BURBANK, CA, July20, 2013 –On the heels of the worldwide success of “Man of Steel,” director Zack Snyder is bringing together the two greatest Super Heroes of all time—Batman and Superman—for the first time on the big screen.The announcement was made today byGreg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

The current hit, “Man of Steel,”has taken in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and climbing.  Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcoming film brings back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.  The new Batman has yet to be cast.

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay.  Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date in Summer 2015.

Silverman stated, “Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker, but beyond that, he’s a fan first and he utterly gets this genre.  We could not think of anyone better suited to the task of bringing these iconic Super Heroes to the screen in his own way.”   Kroll added, “We are thrilled to be back in business with Zack and his team on this next movie.  The success of ‘Man of Steel’ is a wonderful testament to the love and support that both fans and new audiences, worldwide, have for these characters.  We are very excited to see what Zack has in store for all of us.”

Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment, noted, “Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere. All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack’s continuing vision for the DCUniverse.”

Zack Snyder, who made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con today, breaking the news to audiences there, latersaid, “I’m so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can’t wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter.  Let’s face it, it’s beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world.”

The new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

Thomas offered, “Whilst our ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack’s fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction.  His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can’t wait to see what Zack does with these characters.”

The film is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, and Batman characters created by Bob Kane, published by DC Entertainment.

Buniyaad to Air Again

Buniyaad to Air Again

Buniyaad the popular series on Doordarshan which dealt with the 1947 partition is returning on the channel for its sixth airing from next Thursday.

The drama series has been telecast on various channels previously, but this time what's special is that producer-director Ramesh Sippy will get the cast together for a grand party on July 20th to relive their golden days.

Sippy says, "It's a classic and therefore there's a recall value among people who watched it. I am hoping this time, younger people will watch it too." 

The plans for a grand party are currently being made. "The airing date was so sudden that there hasn't been much time to prepare. But we will do our best. I am not one for grand parties, but this time I felt like we should do it. The talk of the Partition always keeps coming up, even during times of peace. This is a good way to remind people of all that had happened. How our people have lived and worked together for this day," says the veteran filmmaker.

STORY.
While trying to lead a normal life, Frank is notified that Interpol is hunting for him. When he tries to clear his name, he is told of a Cold War project to sneak a nuclear weapon into Russia, and that it may have been assembled and activated. In order to successfully defuse it, he is reacquainted with the man who helped set up the project (who has been confined to a mental hospital) and finds himself hunted by Victoria, who has apparently left retirement; she is one of the best assassins in the business. He is also reunited with an old flame who is eager to rekindle their relationship.

CRITIC VIEW.

STORY.
U.S. President James Sawyer (Jamie Foxx) proposes a controversial peace treaty between allied countries to remove military forces from the Middle East.
John Cale (Channing Tatum) is a U.S. Capitol Police officer assigned to Speaker of the House Eli Raphelson (Richard Jenkins) after Cale saved Raphelson's nephew's life during a tour in Afghanistan. Cale is struggling to develop a better relationship with his daughter Emily (Joey King), who has a strong enthusiasm for politics. He hopes to impress her by getting a job with the Secret Service, but his hopes are dashed when the interview is conducted by Carol Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a former college acquaintance of his who believes him to be unqualified due to a lack of respect for authority and follow-through. After lying to Emily about the outcome of the interview, she and Cale join a tour of the White House.
Meanwhile, a bomb is detonated at the center of the U.S. Capitol building, killing scores of innocents when a mercenary disguised as a janitor threw a bomb into a cart as he rolled and then abandoned in the center of rotunda before detonating. Raphelson, who was in the Capitol, remains unharmed and is taken to an underground command center with Finnerty while Vice President Alvin Hammond (Michael Murphy) is taken aboard Air Force One. The White House is put on lockdown separating Cale from Emily (who had left the tour group to use the restroom). Meanwhile, disguised mercenaries led by Emil Stenz (Jason Clarke), start killing off most of the Secret Service and take the tour group hostage, but Cale manages to take a gun and escapes a mercenary named Killick (Kevin Rankin) to go find his daughter. Following protocol, retiring Head of the Presidential Detail Martin Walker (James Woods) escorts Sawyer and his detail to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center. Once Sawyer gains access, Walker kills Sawyer's detail, revealing himself to be the real leader and his desire for revenge over his son who was killed in a botched black ops mission. Cale, who fails to find Emily, kills a mercenary and takes his gun and radio. Using the radio, Cale locates and rescues President Sawyer.
Walker and Stenz bring in Skip Tyler (Jimmi Simpson) to hack into the defense system, but they still require Sawyer to activate the nuclear football. They locate the remaining presidential line of succession, kill the Secretary of Defense, and place rest of the line of succession with the hostages. Emily, while hiding, records a video of the mercenaries and uploads it to YouTube before eventually being captured. Walker demands $400 million from the Federal Reserve as ransom for the hostages. Cale and Sawyer manage to reach out to command which tells Cale to get Sawyer out through underground tunnels. At the command center, Finnerty uses Emily's video to discover the mercenaries' identities, discovering that they used to work for various government agencies and radical political groups. They are informed that Stenz, a former Special Forces operative, was disavowed and burned on mission, leading to his capture by the Taliban, making his involvement one of retribution. They also discover that Walker has an inoperable tumor, suggesting his involvement to be a suicide mission and that the attack is not for ransom. Cale and Sawyer find the tunnel gate rigged with an explosive and are forced to escape with a presidential limousine. After giving chase with Stenz on the White House lawn, Cale and Sawyer are flipped into the White House pool after Cale gets distracted by Killick holding Emily at gunpoint. A gunfight erupts which results in an explosion that leaves Sawyer and Cale presumed dead. Hammond is then sworn in as acting President.
When Cale and Sawyer reveal they are still alive, they learn Hammond has ordered an aerial incursion to take back the White House. Knowing the mercenaries have Javelin surface-to-air missiles, Cale tries but fails to stop the mercenaries from shooting down the helicopters. Cale gets into a fight with Stenz and ends up dropping his White House passes for himself and Emily while escaping. Having already learned of Emily from the video, Stenz, knowing that she is Cale's daughter, takes her to Walker in the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Tyler finishes the upload to NORAD and launches a missile at Air Force One, killing everyone on board, including Hammond. Raphelson is then sworn in as acting President and orders an airstrike on the White House. Finnerty informs Cale of Raphelson's decision.
Walker tells Cale over the White House intercom to surrender Sawyer or he will kill Emily. Sawyer ultimately surrenders himself to save Emily, knowing Cale could still save them if he was free. However, Sawyer refuses to activate the football. When Walker threatens to kill Emily again, the alarms and sprinklers are set off by Cale setting various rooms on fire. Tyler tries to escape by deactivating the bomb on the tunnel gate, but discovers that it has been tampered with so it goes off rather than disarms when he leaves. Killick finds Cale and tries to kill him, but is ambushed by Donnie the White House tour guide (Nicholas Wright), who bludgeons Killick to death with a bronze clock. After freeing the hostages and entrusting Donnie to get them out safely, Cale kills Stenz with a grenade belt after a confrontation. Sawyer attacks a distracted Walker, who ultimately gains the upper hand and uses Sawyer to activate the football before apparently shooting him dead. Using updated launch codes received by an anonymous source, Walker targets various cities in Iran, but before he initiates the launch, Cale crashes into the office in a presidential escort vehicle and kills Walker with a minigun. When Emily is told of the air strike, she takes a presidential flag and waves it on the front lawn and gets the fighters to call off the attack. Sawyer reveals himself to be alive as the bullet that hit him hit a pocket watch his wife (Garcelle Beauvais) had given him. Finnerty calls them to reveal that the mercenaries were not called in by Walker and that there is another mastermind behind the attack. Cale realizes who it is and asks Sawyer for his help in exposing the traitor.
When Finnerty arrives at the White House with Raphelson, Cale tells them Sawyer was killed. Raphelson then orders troops to be placed back into the Middle East, which would go against Sawyer's peace treaty. Cale reveals Raphelson had orchestrated the attack because of Raphelson's disagreement with Sawyer's treaty and proves it by having Finnerty call the call-back number on the pager. Sawyer then reveals himself and has Raphelson taken into custody, treating his taking of the Presidency as a coup d'état. Sawyer officially employs Cale into the Secret Service and takes him and Emily on a personalized aerial tour of Washington, D.C. on his way to the hospital. As a result of the events, the leaders of Russia, China, Israel, France and Iran agree to Sawyer's peace treaty.

CRITIC VIEW.
Director Roland Emmerich the master of disaster movies [ Independence Day, Godzilla, 2012 and many more ] comes with yet another movie of his calibre but with a twist,as he has humour and vendetta in this enterprise. This time your expectation of his larger then life unimaginative cinematic thrill which he has delivered earlier will be minuscule.

So settle down this time  for a white house journey and a subtle and apt drama of father on a mission to rescue his daughter [ 'Die Hard' and 'Olympus Has Fallen' revise your memory] though some action [blowing white house] and chase on the park area of the White House are high octane.

Channing Tatum as [John Cale] gives a average performance, the scene stealer is definetly Jamie Foxx [ U.S. President James Sawyer ] with his witty one liner and zeal .Also a supporting cast of James Woods [retiring Head of the Presidential Detail Martin Walker] adds zest to this monotonous movie 'White House Down'.
