UPDATED WRITE-THRU, 4:20 PM Monday: Thanks largely to the record-setting early rollout of the new James Bond adventure Spectre , international box office is up 30% across the Top 10 studio titles compared with last week, a far scream from Stateside’s Halloween weekend, which was the lowest-grossing frame of the year so far . Eon, MGM and Sony’s superspy pic crosses the pond November 6 to get domestic turnstiles spinning again. With 007’s spectacular $80.12M overseas debut , plus a Drac-tastic expansion for Hotel Transylvania 2 , Sony earns bragging rights this week to the international Nos. 1 and 2 films; it’s also got Goosebumps in the Top 10 in a staggered rollout. It’s too early to make a clear call what effect this will have on Sony’s bottom line — Spectre is only open in six markets, and MGM handles some territories. But it’s certainly a bright spot after the company’s Tokyo-based parent last week reported sizable Q2 losses at the studio. The strong start on … [Read more...] about Sony’s Sizzling ‘Spectre’, ‘Hotel Transylvania 2’ Top Charts In Strong Frame – Intl Box Office Update

A ccording to Hollywood legend, the 1992 film El Mariachi was made for just $7,000. The action movie had no stars and was shot on videotape, but it grossed $2m in US movie theatres and launched the career of its director, Robert Rodriguez. That should have made it an unqualified success story, one that would shame the usually profligate studios that spend hundreds of millions on flops like Waterworld, right? Well, not exactly. Once Columbia bought the film from Rodriguez, the studio spent another $200,000 or so transferring the print to film, remixing the sound, and doing other post-production work. Then Columbia spent millions advertising the film and making prints to send to theatres. So the studio would have been lucky to break even on this $7,000 picture. For the sake of comparison, when Rodriguez remade the movie a couple of years later as Desperado, with then-rising star Antonio Banderas, he spent $7m - a thousand times as much - and earned back $25m at the US box office. … [Read more...] about ‘We call it martian accounting’

Therefore there is a chance of some rotation with players of Manchester United, Manchester City, Leicester City, Chelsea or Everton to name a few. Apart from that, other sides are likely to field their first team players only barring the injured ones. But the most interesting thing about this gameweek is the double-headed fixtures of four teams- Manchester City, Everton, Burnley and Fulham. With a couple of injury issues and the doubleheaders, many managers now could use their second wild card. But many could also make some changes in the lineup to keep up with the current trend of inform players with respect to comparative easy fixtures. If so, we have a few names you might want to consider ahead of the gameweek 24 which kicks-off with high voltage tie of Leicester hosting Liverpool on 13th February, at 6.00 PM IST.

This is an effort to offer my views on the current state of motorsport, and Formula 1 in particular. For some time now, and for whatever reason, there seem to be a lot of negative comments and chatter from the people inside the business as well as from fans all over the world. Why is that? How did we arrive at this situation from a time not that long ago when things were seemingly mostly positive, viewership was huge, the cars were fast and spectacular to watch, we had some great personalities in the paddock, superstar drivers racing the cars and plenty of action and drama on the race track, both between the teams and the drivers? Money was flowing into the business and global corporate sponsors as well as manufacturers were all lining up to be part of the show. Teams were selling at a huge premium and everyone involved in the business was prospering. Of course, there is not a simple answer to any of this. For sure, the majority of negative comments today is in part due to … [Read more...] about Johansson’s radical proposal to make F1 awesome again – Part 1
