Our weekly round-up of the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Once again, Marvel's The Avengers continues to shatter records at the global box office as audiences remain enthralled by the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In North America, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero team-up became the fastest film to cross the $400m mark, achieving the feat in just fourteen days (four fewer than it took The Dark Knight back in 2008, albeit with the benefit of higher ticket prices), and it has also overtaken the world-wide haul of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Bat-sequel, making it the highest grossing comic book movie of all time...
...As if that's not enough to earn bragging rights for Marvel, the film is now also officially Disney's biggest ever hit, having surpassed Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest to sit at #6 in the all-time global chart. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King »

The Avengers Joins $1 Billion Club
14 May 2012 12:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Superhero blockbuster The Avengers has become the latest movie to make the ultra-exclusive $1 billion box office club.
The Marvel epic, which stars Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johannson, raked in a whopping $103.2 million (£64.5 million) in the American market over the weekend (11-13May12), pushing the film's worldwide haul to just over $1.1 billion.
The action movie, which opened around the world at the end of April and on 4 May in North America, becomes only the 10th film to break $1 billion at the box office.
The other projects to accomplish the same money milestone are Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Dark Knight, Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and most recently Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. »
The Avengers goes from Zero to $1 Billion in Nineteen Days!
14 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
After taking the Us box office by absolute storm last weekend, to the tune of a record-breaking $207.4m. in its opening weekend, The Avengers is now the first film to break the $1bn. threshold in 2012 with an estimated $1.002bn., increasing the membership of the billion-dollar club to 12.
The 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace tipped that over the edge to end with $1.026bn., taking an extra $100m. with the added dimension.
And if estimates are right – and last weekend, the estimates actually fell short by about $4m., so these figures could be even better – our predictions earlier this year have been proven right, with The Avengers set to be the first film of 2012 to go from zero to a billion, doing it in just nineteen days, and playing in the Us (naturally its biggest market) for just ten of those days.
It’s estimated that the film took $103m. in »

Explore the Visual Effects and Sound of 'The Avengers'
8 May 2012 11:42 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
A nice group of behind-the-scenes goodies have popped up online related to The Avengers and while you may be getting a little tired of hearing about the film already I thought this batch of stuff concerning the team that helped writer/director Joss Whedon and his cast put together the box-office behemoth was worth sharing. First off I have two video pieces, the first comes from the SoundWorks Collection taling with Avengers supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer Christopher Boyes. While the score didn't necessarily impress me, the sound design of the film actually did as I could feel the theater rumbling all around me and I think come Oscar time, Boyes' work on this film may be something we are discussing. After all, it's not as if he is unfamiliar with the little golden man having won four times before for Peter Jackson's King Kong, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King »

Box Office Preview: Battle of the Chick Flicks!
18 April 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
With The Hunger Games threatening to be in the top spot for a fifth week in a row, longer than The Dark Knight and The Lord of the Rings:The Return of the King , we have to look towards a number of unlikely saviors to finally topple the mighty box office titan and give someone else a chance. Ironically, all three new movies will mainly be targeting women, although they'll each be going after different ages and demographics. Based on Steve Harvey's popular bestselling self-help book, Think Like a Man (Screen Gems) is the type of African-American ensemble rom-com we've seen a lot over the years, this one with a superstar cast that includes Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Romany Malco, Gabrielle Union and Michael Ealy. The good thing for this one is that »
The Hunger Games Box Office: First Since Titanic with Key Female Role, Staying Power
15 April 2012 1:09 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games has topped the Us/Canada box office for the fourth weekend in a row. Starring Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), the Gary Ross-directed blockbuster scored $21.5 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The dystopic action-drama was down a relatively modest 35% compared to Easter weekend. Prior to The Hunger Games, the most recent movie to achieve the four-weekend-in-a-row feat was James Cameron / Sam Worthington's Avatar in early 2010. In fact, Avatar remained at the top for seven consecutive weekends. The Hunger Games, however, won't get that far. Next weekend, it'll surely be unseated by Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling's The Lucky One. Among the nearly 30 movies that have managed to be no. 1 for four weekends in a row are Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Heath Ledger's The Dark Knight (2008), Peter Jackson / Elijah Wood »

5 Things You May Not Know About The 'The Godfather Part II'
9 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
A sprawling three-hour-and-twenty-minute American epic crime film, what can you say about Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather Part II” that hasn’t already been said? Nominated for eleven Academy Awards and winning six, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Robert De Niro, “The Godfather Part II” was met with tremendous critical acclaim with many proclaiming it had outdone its predecessor. Award-wise, it had. The original had also bagged eleven nominations, but won only three.
This weekend, as we just mentioned in our piece about Coppola’s “The Conversation,” marked the 73rd birthday of the famed director, and yesterday on April 8th, the anniversary of “The Godfather Part II” winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. Curiously enough, while many consider 'Part II' superior, box-office-wise the 3 hour 20 minute running time was audience prohibitive, and the film only grossed $47 million domestically, as opposed to »

Titanic Box Office: Behind The Hunger Games
5 April 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
James Cameron's Titanic movie Titanic 3D was the no. 2 movie on the domestic box-office chart on Wednesday, April 4, according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. Directed by the Marianas Trench's James Cameron, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Titanic 3D collected $4.37 million at 2,674 theaters, landing right behind The Hunger Games' $4.6 million at 4,137 locations. Comparisons are hard to make. The Hunger Games is in 2D, which means cheaper movie ticket prices, but it's playing at 1,500 more theaters than Titanic 3D. The Hunger Games has also been around for 13 days; Titanic 3D opened on Tuesday, earning approximately $325,000 at various preview screenings. Directed by Gary Ross, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson. At no. 3, Jonathan Liebesman / Sam Worthington / Ralph Fiennes' Wrath of the Titans grossed $2.25 million, followed by Julia Roberts / Armie Hammer / Lily Collins' Mirror Mirror with $1.66 million and Channing Tatum »

Kristen Stewart, On the Road movie Kristen Stewart looks quite beautiful in this On the Road photo, posted earlier today on the film's website. Best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight movies, Stewart has appeared in several independent productions, most notably a supporting role in Sean Penn's Into the Wild (which led to her being cast in On the Road), and leads in Greg Mottola's well-received Adventureland, opposite Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Eisenberg; Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways, as singer Joan Jett next to Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie; and as a pole dancer/sex worker in Jake Scott's little-seen Welcome to the Rileys, with James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo. Directed by Walter Salles, and adapted by José Rivera from Jack Kerouac's classic novel, On the Road will probably be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Titanic 3D Box Office: No.1 Domestic?
5 April 2012 12:49 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kate Winslet, Titanic 3D Titanic 3D may have sailed to the top of the North American box-office chart on Wednesday, grossing an estimated $4.7 million at about 2,600 locations according to The Hollywood Reporter. That figure includes $300,000 earned at Tuesday night previews, and 71 IMAX screens. Directed by James Cameron, who made perfectly-timed headlines about a week ago thanks to a quick deep-sea trek, the 1997 megablockbuster stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Titanic's chief competition for the no. 1 slot is 2012's own megablockbuster, Jennifer Lawrence / Liam Hemsworth / Josh Hutcherson's The Hunger Games. The Gary Ross dystopic adventure drama earned an estimated $4.6-$4.7 million on Wednesday — without the added Tuesday night bonus or box-office-boosting 3D surcharges. Paramount is (officially) estimating Titanic 3D will rake in $20 to $25 million by Friday. 20th Century Fox is handling the film's international release. Launched in December 1997, the original Titanic grossed $1.8 billion worldwide. For those who choose to ignore the Inflation Effect, »
