Vinny Pazienza movie trailer, 'Bleed for This'

From iwatchstuff, Here's the trailer for Bleed for This, our latest film about Miles Teller pushing himself to the limit under the tutelage of a bald guy. Teller plays Vinny Pazienza, the real life boxer whose rising career came to an abrupt halt when a car accident broke his neck. Though doctors, family, and common sense said that Pazienza would thereafter stop having men punch him in the head, the fighter continued to train even while in a halo brace and ended up taking his little mustache back to the ring. Inspiring! But hopefully not too inspiring, because honestly, if you break your neck, you should not refuse a spinal fusion and instead have men repeatedly punch you in the head. That is still a horrible idea.

Theater plays R-rated Sausage Party trailer before Finding Dory, apologizes

From ew, Audiences waiting to see Finding Dory were treated to an unlikely surprise at a California theater earlier this month, as a trailer for Seth Rogen’s upcoming R-rated animated comedy Sausage Party played ahead of the family-oriented Disney sequel.

After theatergoers reportedly complained about the incident, Walter Eichinger, vice president of operations at Brenden Concord 14, issued an apology for the mistake, which he says occurred prior to a single screening of Finding Dory.

“Playing that trailer was a one-time honest mistake by a theater manager moving screens around in effort to accommodate several large last-minute groups wanting to see Dory,” Eichinger told the East Bay Times, a local publication. “The wrong movie was started by mistake. It was caught soon, but not until the trailer played. We regret it, apologize for it, and we are not happy that it happened. We fully realize this trailer is not appropriate for Dory and we would never schedule something like that. The trailer for Sausage Party is not and never has been scheduled with Dory.“

Sausage Party, which features the voices of Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Salma Hayek, and Michael Cera, premiered at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival. Its various trailers include violent scenes of anthropomorphic food items meeting their grisly demise, including a potato yelping in pain as he’s skinned alive, a woman chomping on a pair of squealing baby carrots, and a cup of pain-stricken ramen noodles frantically scooping its insides back into its body after it splits open on the floor of a grocery store.

Finding Dory is now playing, while Sausage Party hits theaters Aug.

New ‘Lost In Space’ TV Series Coming To Netflix

From slashfilm, "Danger Will Robinson!” Netflix has announced today that they have ordered a 10-episode first season of a new Lost In Space tv series. The one-hour sci-fi drama is of course based on the 1960’s sci-fi classic from Irwin Allen. New Line Cinema made a movie based on the property in 1998 directed by Stephen Hopkins which I remember being pretty horrible. Find out who’s involved in this new take on the science fiction classic, after the jump.

The new Lost in Space tv series is a reimagined take on the property by Dracula Untold/Last Witch Hunter writing teamMatt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, alongside Prison Break showrunner Zack Estrie.

Taking its cues from the original series, the show centers around the Robinson family, who is forced to come together in a time of crisis. Stranded light years from their intended destination, they find themselves battling a strange new alien environment and also their own personal demons. Equal parts family drama and sci-fi adventure, it is a survival story for the ages.

Box Office

From cinemablend, Twenty years ago Roland Emmerich rolled out the wildest, most special-effects laden interpretation of War of The Worlds ever, and it opened succesfully to the tune of $50 million, the second highest ever opening at that time. This weekend he offered up a sequel, and it couldn't even manage to debut at number one.

Independence Day: Resurgence launched this weekend in danger of being a massive box office bomb. With just $41 million it fell painfully short of expectations. The sequel not only failed to top Finding Dory in its second weekend, it couldn't manage to best its predecessor despite enjoying ticket prices that are in some cases twice what they were in 1996. There are plenty of explanations why Resurgencetanked, from critical panning to the absence of Will Smith, but with this level of failure it's hard to rule any reasons out.

Following up on its record breaking opening weekend, Finding Dory held the number one spot with $72 million, pushing its domestic total to $286 million. That puts it on track to crack the top ten domestic animated movie earners list, but it has a long way to go to catch Toy Story 3, the highest grossing Pixar film ($415 million, 2010) orShrek 2, the highest ever grossing animated movie ($441 million, 2004).

Blake Lively's new shark-infested horror flick The Shallows opened in fourth place with $16 million, a solid start against its $17 million production budget. That's more than can be said for Matthew McConaughey's Free State of Jones which tanked at fifth place, banking just $7 million against a reported $50 million production cost. That's a rough hit for director Gary Ross whose last film, the first Hunger Gamesmovie, is one of the top twenty domestic grossing films of all time.

Warcraft continued to do well in international markets while slipping completely out of the domestic top ten on only its third weekend in release. While it has earned the label of being the most successful video game movie adaptation ever, it also has the distinction of being one of the most expensive and not wildly profitable (in comparison with other major franchises in theaters at the moment). At least one more sequel is possible, but with the tendency of many film franchises to decrease in profitability over time, Universal is probably looking hard at whether or not the Blizzard game is worth the long haul investment.
