October's new releases continue their disastrous run. Story by Matt Cummings Although the weather has begun its transition into Fall, someone has apparently forgotten to tell moviegoers that it's time to celebrate by seeing newer releases. This week's top 5 welcomed only one new film, while three others continued their 'dominance' in the absence of anything better. In fact, the top spots - The Martian ($10.7m), Goosebumps ($9.2m), and Bridge of Spies ($7.6m) - haven't changed their positions since last weekend. Add Hotel Transylvania 2 at No. 5, and the only newcomer to make a dent was Bradley Cooper's Burnt at $4.7m. But the bigger news continues to be Hollywood's inability to draw significant amounts of moviegoers to newer releases. How bad have October's releases fared? Just consider the following: seven major releases (those premiering on 2,000+ screens) had total openings of just $54.8m. That's only $500k over what T...

It's one of the closest weekends ever as audiences return to Ridley Scott's epic. Story by Matt Cummings This weekend's box office reminded us of the old saying "Just Because It's New Doesn't Mean It's Great," as audiences stayed away from five new releases, while returning a familiar name to No. 1. Although we discussed the race this weekend on our Inside the Bucket podcast, SJF was unwilling to crown anyone No. 1 because the numbers were so close. In fact, the winner was eventually crowned by the smallest margin of the year - just $219,000. But its return to the top saw many new releases under perform, perhaps fairing worse than the pre-sale of Star Wars: The Force Awakens . Returning to the top is the Ridley Scott/Matt Damon Science Fiction epic The Martian with $15.7m. The Fox space survival film has endured with audiences for a variety of reasons: the terrific science behind the story, and the fact that Author Andy Weir's boo...

The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world.

According to Diesel , I Am Number Four's D.J. Caruso will direct the action pic. Talking with io9 about his latest, supernatural conflict The Last Witch Hunter , Diesel let slip the news: “I’m excited as hell about xXx,” Diesel says. “D.J. Caruso is directing it, which is exciting. xXx is one of those films you do when you need to have a little fun. When the weight and pressures of all the other things have gone so far that you need to have a character that you can just have fun and more comment on life and comment on the outcome than being in it like Fast’s Dom Toretto Dom is very much the centre of the storm, Xander is more the guide to something else and you’re just with him.” Of course, bringing up Dom there reminds us that, thanks to Fast’s blockbuster status and the fact that it has a 2017 release date hanging over it and a script that is closer to completion, Xander might still have to wait a little longer before he can have fun with his extreme sports/secret agent sty...

So, who is this popular actor wearing that shaggy tangle of hair? (Hint: It’s a megastar whose face and scalp are usually clean-shaven.) Give up? It’s Vin Diesel , sporting a new look for the upcoming fantasy adventure The Last Witch Hunter . The 47-year-old Fast & Furious star recently shared a few pics of himself wearing what appears to be a period costume — and swatches of hair atop his head and on his chin. It’s perhaps his craziest look ever for a movie if you don’t count a certain alien tree from Guardians of the Galaxy. Diesel plays a character named Kaulder — in addition to being immortal, Kaulder also happens to be the world’s final remaining witch-slayer. Those special skills become suddenly in demand when a witch-led revolution takes root in present-day New York, and threatens to spread into a worldwide plague. Elijah Wood is also in the flick, and judging by another on-set pic Diesel shared more than a week ago, he’s playing a man of the cloth,. Rose Lesli...
