Julia Roberts’ turn in **Mirror Mirror ** failed to find much of an audience, scoring a mediocre $19 million. The $85 million fairy tale’s launch was a far cry from the $116 million that Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland had in 2010 and Mirror Mirror ’s debut was also below the $32 million that Immortals banked on its debut. That was the last feature from visualist director Tarsem, but Mirror Mirror ( read our review ) has the potential to have legs – if mothers and daughters decide to show up in the coming we
It’s clear that Valor intends there to be high stakes all around, as that’s one of the appeals of military dramas. But in fashioning the series to fit in with The CW’s more teen-friendly content, something gets lost in translation. The addition of Nora and Gallo’s comrade-in-arms affair complicates matters for both characters, but as is so often the case with television dramas, complication doesn’t necessarily result in complexity. To make matters worse, though they are both well suited to the show’s soapier aspects – particularly the scene where Nora and Gallo seek catharsis by smashing some drywall with a sledgehammer – Ochoa and Barr aren’t quite as convincing as a pair of elite U.S. Army helicopter pil
Disney bomb **John Carter ** banked $2 million, upping its cume to just over $66 million. The $250 million film has just about covered its production budget globally, but it still won’t turn a pro
**The Hunger Games ** held off competition from Sam Worthington and Julia Roberts and retained the top spot at the box office . The Jennifer Lawrence starrer grossed $61.1 million over the weekend, a number that ups its cume to a fantastic $251 million. The production budget for the film is a reported $78 million, so this is a major success for Lionsgate, especially considering that The Hunger Games has crossed $364 million worldw
Sam Worthington’s second clash with the titans debuted to disappointing results in second place. **Wrath of the Titans ** should see out the weekend with $34.2 million, a far cry from the $61 million that Clash of the Titans banked in 2010 – that film went on to gross $163 million at the domestic box office and another $330 million in foreign markets. Jonathan Liebesman called the shots on the $150 million sequel, with most reviews ( read ours ) indicating that it is an improvement on its predecessor. Domestically the film won’t hit the heights of its predecessor, but it should score the bulk of its green around the world – it has already done over $112 million globa
Performance across the detailed tiers will vary and improves with better hardware. It’s easy to see that Valorant ‘s mindful design satisfies the majority of current-day PC rigs. For perspective, the minimum and recommended CPUs and GPUs released nearly 10 years ago. The Intel i3-370 M released in August of 2010, and the Intel HD Graphics 3000 was announced in 2011. PC gamers always find a way to stretch the lifetime of their expensive hardware. Still, most equipment from this era is incompatible with current generation motherboards and has therefore been phased
Fellow hold-over hit The Lorax scored another $8 million, bringing its total to over $189 million. The film will now cross $200 million at the domestic box office in the coming weeks – meaning that the $70 million outlay by Universal Pictures was a worthwhile investm
Director Lasse Hallstrom’s **Salmon Fishing In Yemen ** cracked the top ten, despite playing in less than 500 locations. Ewan McGregor stars in the film which grossed $1.2 million over the weekend, taking its gross to $3.1 million, a number which should swell in the coming we
All that said: Act of Valor is clearly meant to be foremost a visceral documentary-style experience that effectively illustrates the nature of the SEAL lifestyle and shows just how difficult that job is, both emotionally and physically. So long as the movie can manage that task in a balanced fashion that simply reflects the true nature of Navy SEALs daily life (without either excessively glorifying or vilifying it) it should turn out well eno
Recently, more information about what sort of skins players can expect from Valorant at launch has come to light. According to a video from Qwixzo , the YouTube channel of IGN Nordic staffer Nick Nijland, Riot is adding a weapon skin to Valorant based on Urf the manatee. Urf is a joke character that Riot claimed was going to be added to the game as part of an April Fool’s Day joke, but has instead become the mascot of League of Legends ’ Ultra Rapid Fire mode. Qwixzo reports that the Urf skins will be based on the appearance of NERF g
The lack of character skins in Valorant might be a turn-off for some players, but others will definitely appreciate the inclusion of the Urf weapon skins. Urf is a pretty niche character, and anyone who’s going into **valorant strategy|Https://valorantfocus.com/ ** without having played League of Legends will likely have no idea what the skins are even referencing. While it’s good to see Riot throwing in a treat for some of its biggest fans, the developer will probably need to offer quite a bit more to keep entirely new players from feeling left
