In my previous box office report for the Chinese market late last week, I noted that with the numbers available then for the “The Wolverine,” it should have already passed the $400M mark. Now that those figures are included in BoxOfficeMojo.com, it has an official worldwide gross of $405M.

I was surprised to see “Kick-Ass” being labeled as a cult hit in the media in multiple instances. It was described as a film that was overlooked during its theatrical run but developed a following on video, and thus, garnered a sequel. Maybe that’s what Lionsgate fed them but it’s simply not true.

The last time anyone heard anything from Vin Diesel regarding his upcoming absorption into the Marvel Universe, he was telling fans that his still-unspecified role in a still-unnamed Marvel project would have something to do with "a kind of love story" -- leading to speculation that Diesel would either be playing the Vision or Thanos, two characters with decidedly unorthodox love lives (and personalities that would seem to lend themselves to Diesel's uniquely deadpan onscreen persona).
