Five Reasons Kristen Stewart's Movie Will Runaways from Robert Pattinson's
E!Online by Joal Ryan
By the time the box-office weekend is over, Stewart's The Runaways, opening Friday, will be rocking, while Pattinson's Remember Me will be faded. How can we be so sure? Five box-office truths:
1. People coo over babies.
Unless you're Avatar or Alice in Wonderland, which Remember Me isn't, holdovers get outshined by the latest multiplex entries.
2. Size matters.
"I think relatively speaking, The Runaways should be more successful [than Remember Me]," Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray says.
This is because The Runaways, a low-budget rock flick plucked from Sundance, is opening at one-tenth the number of theaters as Remember Me. If The Runaways grosses just $1 million, then—voila!—it'll enjoy a bigger screen-for-screen debut than Remember Me, which got tepid buzz for its $8.1 million wide-release opening.
And if The Runaways makes $2 million? It's a hit!
3. Critically acclaimed movies never bomb; they're misunderstood.
When Remember Me didn't set the world on fire, at least it had its glowing reviews to keep itself warm...Oh, wait, no, it didn't.
The Runaways, however, does. At last check, its Rotten Tomatoes score was a hot 74 percent. (Remember Me's was 26 percent.) Hence, should The Runaways fail to light up the art-house circuit, its admirers will look for the bright side—and blame the audience and/or the marketing.
4. It sucks to be Robert Pattinson.
Pattinson was Remember Me. His face was all over the posters, the trailers and the commercials. The movie's underwhelming opening weekend was his underwhelming opening weekend. The man had no cover.
The Runaways, on the other hand, is not a Kristen Stewart movie. It's not even a Dakota Fanning movie, to name one of Stewart's costars.
"It's a rock 'n' roll biographical picture that's portraying a niche band," Gray says. "It's obviously not a ding on Kristen Stewart if it doesn't take off."
And if it does take off, then she takes right off with it. The woman can't lose.
5. Joan Jett is cool.
Technically, this isn't a box-office truth. But since Stewart plays the influential rocker, we thought we'd point it out anyway. As a universal truth.
Got a question for Kristen Stewart or Dakota Fanning?
USA Today
This afternoon, I'll be sitting down with Runaways stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. I'm not sure if the universe can handle this many pale people in one room.
If you have questions for these women, send 'em my way via Twitter, e-mail or the comments. I'll ask as many as I can before they kick me out! (And ask fast, I'm meeting them in a couple hours.)
Sundance Selects Premieres ‘Enemy’s Enemy,’ ‘Against the Current’
Home Media Magazine By: Billy Gil
Sundance Selects, which is available on the main on-demand platform of such cable operators as Comcast, Cox, Cablevision and Time Warner, has two new films coming in March.
March 10 comes My Enemy’s Enemy, a documentary from Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland) shown at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals that tells of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie a.k.a. the Butcher of Lyon. His story is said to be full of intrigue and suspense, along the lines of such films as The Odessa File and The Boys From Brazil.
Also, coming March 24 is Against the Current, a drama based on a true story of a man who aims to swim the Hudson River. The film premiered at Sundance and stars Joseph Fiennes, Justin Kirk (“Weeds”), Elizabeth Reaser (The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Michelle Trachtenberg (awesomely bitchy Georgina Sparks in “Gossip Girl”) and none other than Mary Tyler Moore.
The films will be available for two to three months.
