‘Underworld: Awakening 3D’ Made $25 Million This Weekend, What Did You Think?

Underworld Awakening

I know a TON of you guys saw Underworld: Awakening 3D this weekend. It just grossed an estimated $25 million, outpacing Rise Of The Lycans by a significant margin.

While I didn’t love the movie (I’m not a huge Underworld fan), I did think it was the best in the series. From my review.

There’s almost a remarkable spark that accompanies this synergy of people cutting the bullsh*t and consciously embracing the humble simplicity of making a film designed only to be the very best kind of this type of movie. And that’s exactly what ‘Underworld: Awakening’ is. Sure I’m grading on a curve here, but it’s easily the best ‘Underworld’ movie. I was actually entertained throughout its appropriately brief 88 minute running time.

But what did you guys think? Write in with your review now!

Also, given this film’s box office performance and its ‘A-‘ Cinemascore (which means that audiences liked it enough that we can expect it to continue to do well next weekend, unlike Devil Inside), I’d say it’s more than likely we’ll be seeing a 5TH Underworld film – even though one has yet to be officially announced.

Hit up the comments to let us know what you’d like to see in the 5th one, or if you just want the series to die already!

‘Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Has Been Officially Confirmed

Blood and Honey 3

The twisted “Poohniverse” expands with Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II, now playing in U.S. theaters through tonight only, and a third installment is on the way soon.

Variety confirms this morning that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 has been given the green light, with Jagged Edge Productions officially ordering up the third film.

Variety notes, “According to the producers, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 will have a bigger budget than the previous films and will introduce new characters from the original Winnie-the-Pooh stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps and the woozles.”

We also know that in addition to Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3, the team is conjuring up horror movies based on Bambi, Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty and more.

The end game? They actually do have one in mind! As we recently learned, all these individual movies will pave the way for Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble in 2025.

In that movie, all the monsters team up to take down the world. Naturally.

The good news for the team is that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey II has won over even some of the harshest critics of the first film, with most agreeing it’s a huge step up in quality.

Paul Le wrote in his review right here on Bloody Disgusting, “This flawed but enjoyable sequel defies expectations — albeit low ones — and outperforms its predecessor on most levels.”

“On top of a better story, Blood and Honey II benefits from higher production values,” Paul’s review continues. “The detailed creature designs and suits are more convincing than before; they don’t just look like actors in masks anymore. The extra funding also allows for elaborate set-pieces, including a rave-set mass murder and a brief but exciting chainsaw sequence.”

Tonight is the final night to see Blood and Honey II in theaters, as the Fathom Events run was for March 26 – March 28 only. So if you want to see it on the big screen, get out there tonight.
