Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D ended the weekend with an estimated $16.5 Million. While that’s not an unmitigated bomb, it’s certainly not a success given its reported production budget of $69 Million (tack at least another 30-40 on for P&A and I think a conservative number for the cost of the film still exceeds $100 Million). I guess there’s still a remote chance this movie makes its money back theatrically, but the C+ Cinemascore (indicating audiences didn’t really like the movie) means it will likely have a precipitous drop-off next weekend. As far as foreign numbers go I wouldn’t expect ALVH to expand much beyond its current take of $7.8 Million. Abe Lincoln is our historical figure, not so much the world’s. READ MORE
I was extremely excited for Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D, his historical retelling in theaters tomorrow from Twentieth Century Fox. The film brings a unique vision to theaters, a rare original idea surrounded by franchise sequels and remake (although, I guess you can argue that “Abraham Lincoln” is a name brand). Anyways, the movie wasn’t as good as I had hoped. Benjamin Walker looks cool, but Seth Grahame-Smith has no idea what the real Honest Abe was like. The characters are faceless, the script is a mess, and the movie looks like absolute dog shit. It looks terrrrrrible. With that said, it’s still pretty fun (at times) and features some great action sequences. 3-D is fake. READ MORE

We’ve now landed the second clip from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the Timur Bekmambetov-directed historial retelling of the 16th President of the United States who will hunt bloodsuckers on June 22. The clip looks a bit Matrix-y as a extreme fight takes place between Abe and one of the lead vamps. READ MORE
Even though I think it looks like nothing more than another Jonah Hex, people close to me are more than ecstatic about the final product that is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the Timur Bekmambetov-directed historial retelling of the 16th President of the United States who will hunt bloodsuckers on June 22. Twentieth Century Fox has released another batch of hi-res imagery, all of which can be viewed inside. Watch for a bunch of clips leading up to the release. READ MORE
Kristopher Higgins is in talks to join the cast of Devil’s Knot, says Deadline. The Secret Life Of The American Teenager star joins the already announced Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon in the drama about the West Memphis 3 that Atom Egoyan is directing. “The film tells the true tale of teens Jessie Misskelley, Damien Echols, and Jason Baldwin, who were convicted in Arkansas of murdering three 8-year-olds in 1993 despite no physical evidence.” Higgins will play Misskelley. The trio were finally released last year. Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman, the team behind The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, originally wrote the film’s script; Egoyan is now working with Boardman on a rewrite. The film is based on the 2003 book “Devil’s Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three” by investigative reporter Mara Leveritt. READ MORE
