Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness:’ Win and Loss

3:10 PM 5/19/2013 by Logan Falk
Star Trek Into Darkness
As one might expect, last week’s single release, one in a series of long-anticipated, high-budget summer releases—Star Trek Into Darkness—made it to the top of the box office charts on its opening weekend. It did not, however, quite live up to its high expectations for its opening-weekend revenues.

What's Popping: 'ID Forever', 'Gremlins', 'Toxic Avengers', 'Angry Birds', Crouching Tiger 2'

Independence Day
Independence Day 2 & 3, whenever they're coming, will not be the last we'll see of humanity fighting back against invading extraterrestrials by hacking into their computer systems if Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin have their way. No, those two sequels, if they are successful, are just the beginning of the duo's plan to create "a series" of films based on this universe.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Review: Popcorn Bliss at Warp Speed

Star Trek Into Darkness
It's become something of a scapegoat for Hollywood's current love affair with loud, effects-reliant, mostly soulless tentpole pictures, but CGI spectacle isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's only when filmmakers use it to try and distract from under-developed ideas that it ends up feeling hollow; like any tool, it's only as effective as its user allows it to be.

I may spoil by suggestion, inference, allusion and omission. That still spoiling? Like Harve Bennett before him, J.J. Abrams rebooted Star Trek for Paramount. Both took a loved but semi-popular franchise and had to reimagine it to serve the fair-weather fan and the audience who treated the mythology like a religion.

Review: Frances Ha (Not a Cheap Thrill)

Nothing I write could dampen the pleasures of Francis Ha. It’s charming and revelatory, energetic and wry, exuberant and endearing, but it’s also self-loving and bothersome. It gives you two choices: find it delightful or don’t: there is no unique, self-guided option. As frustrating as that conundrum may be, it’s still hard not to take option one.

Vin Diesel: 'Fast & Furious 7' Will Kick Off New Trilogy

Fast and the Furious 6
According to Vin Diesel, the seventh Fast & Furious movie will kick off a new trilogy, taking the series in a new direction. The next two movies after 7 have not been given the greenlight, but if the seventh one does well, it won't be too long before we'll be seeing number 8 and 9 in theaters.
