Over the Dec. 6-8 weekend, the long-delayed animated pic opened to a horrible $656,500 domestically from 2,337 theaters — the third-worst debut of all time for a title rolling out in 2,000 or more locations — despite cinemas across the country offering discounted $5 tickets for kids and adults alike.

“Playmobil: The Movie” will make box office history, but certainly not in the way it intended. Stx’s animated adventure generated less than $1 million despite launching in 2,337 North American theaters and now stands as one of the worst opening weekends of all time.
“Playmobil” scraped together just $668,000 over the weekend, marking the third-lowest debut ever for a film that was playing in over 2,000 locations. The only movies to suffer worse fates were 2012’s “The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure” and 2008’s “Delgo”.
North American theater chains and regional venues offered the film for $5, significantly less than the average ticket price in U.S. of roughly $9. Children’s tickets can run up to $15 in major markets like New York or Los Angeles. But even heavily discounted prices weren’t enough of an incentive. Since it’s already a competitive time of year for moviegoing, the studio will struggle to hold...

"Oogieloves In the Big Balloon Adventure" secured its place in infamy over the weekend by scoring the worst ever debut on over 2,000 screens. The surreal children's film was an unmitigated disaster, taking in only $445,000 during its opening weekend, after spending $20 million on production and an enormous sum on an aggressive marketing campaign.
While "Oogieloves" claims the top spot on that dubious list, the rest of the top five have aspects to them that make their grand failures more fascinating than anything.
"Delgo"
The former champion, "Delgo," a computer-animated fantasy film, earned just over half a million dollars in 2008, when it opened on 2,160 screens, the exact same number as "Oogieloves." The story, which centers around vaguely reptilian creatures, is pretty typical fantasy fair with warring factions, a tough princess, and an unlikely hero, and the cast featured relatively well-known actors like Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Most analysts attribute...

This Weekend’s Winners: After years of laboring in the shadow of zombies and vampires, the Dibbuk finally gets his due: Sam Raimi’s presentation of the low-budget (just $14 million) horror film The Possession carried the year’s traditionally most anemic holiday weekend with $21.3 million. Meanwhile, the Shia Labeouf Prohibition-era action film Lawless produced respectable numbers for the Weinstein Company, finishing second with $11.8 million.This Weekend’s Losers: The $60 million independent animated film The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure has achieved a distinction no film ever wants: At a mere $445,000 through its first three days and with approximately $600,000 through Monday, its 29th place opening also marks the single worst wide-release debut ever. (On the upside, it relieves 2008’s execrable Delgo of that honor, no doubt to the unending relief of Freddie Prinze Jr.) How It All Went Down: As the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper rightly points out,...

Character actor who was Oscar-nominated for his 1999 breakthrough film fails to recover after heart attack
Michael Clarke Duncan, the prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in The Green Mile, has died aged 54.
Duncan died on Monday at the Cedars-Sinai medical centre in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, according to his fiancee, Omarosa Manigault.
The muscular, 6ft 4in Duncan – a former bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s – "suffered a myocardial infarction on 13 July and never fully recovered", said a statement issued by a spokesman.
"Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date."

It had everything: nudity, gore and the most superfluous lesbian sex scene in the history of film. How could it possibly fail? Stuart Heritage goes behind the scenes of a real Hollywood disaster movie
Nobody knows anything. That's what William Goldman decided after spending a lifetime in the movie business. Nobody knows anything, and that's as true now as it's ever been. The fate of poor, unloved Creature proves his point perfectly.
Given a second chance, the makers of Creature probably wouldn't have opened on what's traditionally one of the quietest weekends of the year. Nor would they have picked the 10th anniversary of 9/11. And they almost definitely wouldn't have opened the film on 1,500 screens after mounting a barely existent marketing campaign. These are terrible conditions for any film to be released into, let alone a micro-budget horror flick about some sex-crazed teenagers running around a swamp being eaten by...

Namely...kill him? I mean, we wish only the best for Sean Connery, but after viewing the promo reel for Sir Billi, the animated film that Connery has come out of retirement for, I couldn't help but think of the debacle that was Delgo. That cheaply animated 2008 film was the ignoble final credit for the legendary Anne Bancroft, and I'm legitimately worried that Connery's capstone may be Billi, a spooky, weird cartoon about a drowning squirrel or something, with the tagline, "Can this Octogenarian and his Goat save the day?" View the footage and let me know what you think:...

The advent of Avatar obtained an estimated $73 million on approximately 7,000 screens at 3,452 sites over the weekend, claiming the highest-grossing opening ever for a movie that's neither a sequel, a remake nor a direct adaptation (though others had greater attendance). It was also the second highest-grossing December opening weekend after I Am Legend ($77.2 million). Overall weekend business surged 50 percent over the same weekend last year, but was down considerably from the comparable period in 2007, when I Am Legend and Alvin and the Chipmunks debuted.
With its advanced 3D presentation as a key selling point, Avatar handily set a new 3D opening weekend benchmark. Showing on 3,129 3D screens at 2,038 sites, the format accounted for an estimated $52 million of the gross. The previous highs were Up's $35.4 million and Monsters Vs. Aliens' $32.6 million.

Looking At Avatar
He did it. James Cameron pulled it off. All of the praise and positive quips you’ve read, heard, and watched are spot on. Avatar is a behemoth spectacle to behold, a mighty game-changing cinematic dinosaur made of fire and fueled by Jolt Cola. The all-encompassing 3D CG environment coupled with the “Best Ever” motion-captured actors is all numbingly realistic to the point of confusion. Take one of the greatest mainstream directors of all time, let him gestate on a film’s production for over a decade, then stir in a well-used $300 million and you will get Avatar. This is hardly the misfire, dream-project that so many feared. This isn’t James Cameron’s Legend (even though I like Legend.) It has all the markings of a wet-dream-big-director-project gone wrong, yet in the equation Cameron remembered one thing, to make the movie for himself And the audience.

Disaster movie 2012 inspired panic in the States with Nasa having to reassure Americans that the world wasn't about to end. Is movie viral marketing getting too clever for its own good?
When Columbia Pictures launched a marketing campaign for 2012 – the latest disaster movie from serial Earth molester Roland Emmerich, where the planet, played by America, is set for impending doom – they didn't do it by halves.
First, there was a teaser trailer showing a tsunami crashing over the Himalayas. The Earth was going to end in 2012, it said, and the world's governments aren't doing enough to prepare us. Search "2012", it said, for "the truth" (the "truth" turned out to be over 1,000 real websites and 175 real books obsessed with 2012 as the end of time).
Then, there was a fake website – the "Institute for Human Continuity" – which consisted of a screen stating that for 25 years they'd been assessing threats to the continuation of mankind,...

Item #1 - Ice Cream!!!
I’m acutely sensitive to those who ask for what little help I can provide.
I’ve never purported to actually have any ability to sway people to do things, Lord knows that losing 50k in that McDonald’s contest that was based on votes didn’t work out real well for me, but I am always eager to do what I can for those who have taken a chance on me.
Dennis Widmyer is such a guy and he deserves your vote.

A still birth is sad no matter the medium: mammal or film. An initial seed of inspiration sparks a long enduring process of maturation and development where the defining features of the organism begin to develop. Meanwhile, the nurturing creators of this new life do their best to secure the best circumstances to await their child when it arrives. Again, whether it be an animal or a film, when the stillbirth arrives it’s a devastating disappointment. The comparison may seem somewhat coldly analytical in comparing a living, breathing thing to a collection of moving pictures constructed for entertainment – but just look at the similar stakes. Both filmmaking and reproduction require a certain gestation period whether it be production or incubation. The two have similarly high hopes for the future: one for sequels and DVD sales, the other for a bright prosperous future in a career of their choice.
But then the stillbirth.
But then the stillbirth.

DVD Playhouse—August 2009

Watchmen—Director’S Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday...

I don't know if this will be a regular feature, or if it's just coincidence that another noteworthy Val Kilmer bomb was released on DVD this week. But considering that no one has been able to see Delgo since last fall, when it notoriously set a new benchmark for all-time box-office futility, today's video unveiling seems far too momentous to allow to slip through unannounced.

DVD Links: DVD News | Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Unfortunately it's a very bad week for DVD and Blu-ray releases, but let's rundown the list anyway as maybe some of you are looking forward to at least renting one or two of these. The Soloist The best new film of the bunch has to be The Soloist, but even it isn't a stand-out masterpiece by any stretch. It does have a couple of good performances and is certainly worth a once over, but as far as being a purchase I would definitely recommend against it. Mutant Chronicles This action-sci-fi feature starring Thomas Jane, John Malkovich and Ron Perlman is probably the title I am most interested in renting and a little upset I forgot to request a review copy, but Netflix will take care of that. Race to Witch Mountain Ugh, just a bad, bad movie. Kids may...

• Few things help you get over the midweek hump like chocolate chip cookies, and Katie Holmes knows it. • The combined hot messes of Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen may create a sonic boom. We suggest you keep a safe distance. • Shannen Doherty gives new meaning to the term "editrix." • After Delgo was a Tko, Freddie Prinze Jr. went to work on the creative team for the WWE. The gig must not have been all that, because he quit already. • Kendra Wilkinson is afraid her wedding dress will look like something out of the Awesome 80s Prom. There's an easy fix for that—don't get a dress that looks that way. • If you think Zac Efron needs...
