Snow White

The live-action remake of Snow White took first place at the weekend box office with $43 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $44.3 million for a worldwide debut of $87.3 million. There’s a lot of debate as to how solid of an opening it was or if this is another disaster but overall, we’ll take a wait and see as to how it does overall as some of these live-action remakes have long legs.

Black Bag held on to second place with $4.4 million to bring its domestic total to $14.9 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $4.9 million over the week to double its previous total to $9.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $24.1 million.

Captain America: Brave New World moved up into third place with $4.1 million to bring its domestic total to $192.1 million. Internationally, it grossed $5.5 million over the week to lift that total to $208.7 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $400.8 million.

Mickey 17 came in at fourth place with $3.9 million bringing its domestic total to $40.2 million. Over the week, it grossed $12.6 million to bring that total to $69.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $110 million.

Novocaine dropped from first to fifth with $3.8 million to bring its domestic total to $15.8 million. Over the week, the movie grossed $3.5 million internationally to bring that to $5.3 million. Worldwide, he movie has grossed $21.1 million.

In comic film news…

Dog Man grossed $1.5 million over the weekend. Domestically the film has grossed $95.6 million. Over the week, it grossed about $600,000 internationally to bring that total to $33.4 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed just under $129 million.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX: Beginning remained at a little above $1.2 million. Internationally, the movie added about $1.9 million over the week and has grossed a little over $21.9 million for a worldwide gross of $23.1 million.

The week’s overall box office success…

Numbers have 35 films earning $75,548,167 from 36,033 theaters. That’s a nice increase from the previous weekend’s $51,818,614 from 38,423 theaters and 69 films. The average earning was $2,096.64 which is an increase from the previous weekend’s $1,348.64.

Review: Grimm Fairy Tales 10th Anniversary – Snow White

Posted on by

gft 10 001For those that have been reading Grimm Fairy Tales from the very beginning, this issue will represent a return to the basics of the series.  Whereas the original concept has mostly been discarded or expanded upon into a huge multiverse, it is perhaps the first twenty or so issues of the main series which were so noteworthy and worthwhile.  These stories represented a combination of modern morality tale, as highlighted by a classic fairy tale, but with the lack of approachable fairy tales and the need for some kind of a narrative the concept behind the series changed somewhat into what it is now.  The series still has its fans, even though it can tend to be a bit too complicated at times with its ties to all kinds of myths, legends, and fairy tales.

This specific story looks at the return of what should have been an old nemesis for Sela, although it is examined through the perspective of the modern mess that the series can resemble.  The manner in which Sela is explained the occurrences is a bit lazy.  She is upset at Druanna about not being forthcoming with the truth, but it is an easy plot device for just adding new material in which the characters should have known from their past.  Aside from that this is a fairly engaging issue which focuses on Sela’s book, long since gone but back now at the hands of what they call a Binder, a person capable of recording all manners of stories.  There are some action sequences, and some other sequences that tend towards a bit more gore, but the overall story holds together well enough.

The story telling in this issue is something that the main series has been lacking for a long time.  It can be easily said that Grimm Fairy Tales have deviated far from the formula that made it popular to begin with, and despite its continued success, the return to this more simple concept works well for the series, even when it still has some influence from the modern tales.  In the end the connection to the titular Snow White is a bit far-fetched, but it d doesn’t matter as the issues manages to work on its own merits.

Review: Blood Queen #6

Posted on by

blood queen 6The new Dynamite series Blood Queen had been one of my surprise finds from the past year.  Not having received a lot of press or attention, the series nonetheless seemed to have a new story to tell, or at least a twist on an old one.  With seemingly no other ties to other fairy tales or fantastical worlds, the series sought to tell a new tory in old grounds, and for a time was at least doing well.  Generally speaking I am not the type that looks forward to solicitations to find out what will be happening in the coming months in comics.  If I had though, it maybe wouldn’t have been as much of a surprise to me that this was the final issue of the series, presumably cancelled due to low sales.

Up until now the series was careful to introduce characters slowly and while there was some misdirection in the plot it was no more than most series that try to build some mystery.  Unfortunately while this has been present throughout the series thus far, this final issue gets the same unfortunate treatment of most series that suffered rapid cancellations.  Instead of finishing the smaller part of the story that the creative team was getting at, it tries to complete the entire picture, taking what was presumably several months, if not years, worth of plot and cramming it into a single issue.  Because of this everything in this issue seems rushed and if the eventual conclusion of this series was to tie it into the story of Snow White, then it seemed to be an afterthought.

The end result is an issue which stands apart from the others in this short series for its lack of quality, though for reasons which are maybe partially understandable.  While those fans of the series might want to read this just for completion, the rushed manner in which it gets to the end is not worthy of the previous issues.  Instead the reader is left thinking what could have been, but without answers.
