Josh Hartnett in ‘Entice‘
Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. has their acquisition of the M. Evening Shyamalan directed and written PG-13 thriller Entice starring Josh Hartnett as a creepy dad who might or will not be the terrorist at a Taylor-Swift-type pop star’s live performance. Screenings weren’t held for press and critics. Do with that data what you’ll: Both the filmmaker is making an attempt to maintain an enormous secret in regards to the ending, or the film is unwatchable. On a optimistic notice, Warner Bros minimize an important trailer with a superb cliffhanger which stoked exhibitors at CinemaCon final April. Final month, Warner Bros moved the discharge date up for Entice from Aug. 9 to the quick wake of Deadpool & Wolverine. Outlook is nice on monitoring with $15M-$20M, notably with older ladies over 25. Pre-shows are Thursday at 3PM. Canada and U.S. theaters booked are 3,150.
Columbia Photos
Columbia Photos’ live-action take of Crockett Johnson’s 1955 youngsters’s guide, Harold and the Purple Crayon, isn’t trying good with a $6M opening at 3,300 websites for the $40M function manufacturing (earlier than P&A). The film skews very younger, and the IP, although traditional, isn’t connecting in its execution. Critics aren’t bedazzled at 38% Rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. Sony’s monetary stake within the film, I hear, is underneath 40%, so not a whole lot of pores and skin. Within the pic, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) could make something come to life just by drawing it. After he grows up and attracts himself off the guide’s pages and into the bodily world, Harold finds he has quite a bit to study actual life–and that his trusty purple crayon can set off extra hilarious hijinks than he thought attainable. Carlos Saldanha directs. Previews begin Thursday at 2PM.
