Ah, do you remember way back to the good old days of January 2009? A time when
everyone, er, we were told Seth Rogen's "Green Hornet" was never going to get
off the ground? Or when Stephen Chow left the picture and Michel Gondry came
on board with no firm start date? How wrong everyone, er, we were. Sony
Pictures stuck by their "Pineapple Express" star and moved forward with a
rebooted cinematic superhero!
Then the release date changed.
And it changed again to the dreaded "dump" month of January.
And then the whispers started. "It must be bad." "It doesn't work." Well,
surprise, that hardly seems to be the case. The early word on "Hornet" is
that's it's actually very good. Sony has also stuck by Rogen by going all out
to make sure the franchise takes off (you haven't missed any of those TV spots
have you?). And as of today, "Hornet" is poised to dominate the Martin Luther
King Day weekend and could gross anywhere from $35-40 million in its opening
frame. That just might make Rogen, who stars, executive produced and co-wrote
the screenplay for "Hornet," the first real comeback kid of 2011.
Now, as for the rest of this week's rankings...
節錄前五名
Jan. 7, 2011
1. "The Green Hornet" (not ranked)
Who knew?
2. "True Grit" (last week no. 1)
The Coen's latest will cross the $100 million mark this weekend. Everyone from
agents to studio heads to the media are scratching their heads wondering how
it's gotten there.
3. "Star Wars" (not ranked)
Blu-ray editions of the entire series are finally coming…you just have to wait
nine more months.
4. "Spider-Man" (last week no. 8)
Andrew Garfield is such a nice guy. He can't stop answering questions about
his new role. We've been a fan since his work in "Boy A," but it's time to go
radio silent Andrew. Trust us.
5. "The Hobbit" (last week no. 9)
MGM gives up international distribution because, well, we're not really sure
just what "MGM Holdings" is, but it doesn't sound like a movie studio.
