After American Sniper blew my mind only a few weeks ago, it’s now time for The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water to shine with one of the best February debuts ever. Oh my, where did this $55.4 million start even come from, seriously? It’s ridiculous, even adjusting for inflation the opening weekend of the […] Read Box Office: SpongBob Surprises with $55.4 Million Opening on Filmonic.

Meet Scarlett OverkillThe first trailer for Despicable Me spin-off Minions gave us a comic look at the little yellow creatures’ origin story. For this second look at the film, there’s a chance to meet the main villain – AKA the person that Kevin, Stuart and Bob desperately want to work for – Scarlett Overkill, voiced by Sandra Bullock. We catch up with our three hapless heroes in 1968 as they’ve arrived in America and are trying to hitch a ride to Orlando.

It was a timid box office weekend for the new releases, while Clint Eastwood’s latest continues to dominate In at number 1 is American Sniper with $64.3 million, which brings its domestic total up to $200 million.

The story about the development of the Bioshock movie is an interesting, but ultimately disappointing one. The film is pretty much dead now, but every once in a while something rises to the surface giving us a glimpse at what could have been.
