Two new contenders will enter the multiplex against the all-time box office champion Avatar [HWAVA]. However, neither looks to have the buzz to prevail over the nine times Oscar-nominated sci-fi epic. Even with the Super Bowl on Sunday, Avatar probably won’t decline more than 20% to around $25 million, which should be enough to win for the eighth consecutive weekend.

The 30 second ad which will aired during the Super Bowl for Paramount's The Last Airbender [BENDR] is already online. M. Night Shyamalan [MNSHY] directed the fantasy film based on the other Avatar.
Although the Super Bowl is about to be played this weekend, a couple new films come to theaters this weekend. As men prepare for one of the country’s favorite sporting event, women get a chance to go to theaters to check out Dear John [DEARJ]. The film is adapted from the novel by Nicholas Spark, a writer who has had many of his romance fictions adapted for the screen.
The first adaptation was 1999’s Message in a Bottle, followed by 2002’s A Walk to Remember. The most successful was...

The title might deceive, but from the very beginning of From Paris with Love [FPWLV], the audience is never under the impression that this film will be the typical romance set in the City of Lights. Yes, there are handsome men, drop-dead exotic women and high-class sports cars--and, yes, a little romance, but if you are in the audience to see Paris, je t'aime, leave now.
The film opens with James Reece (Jonathan Rhys Meyers [JRMEY]), the personal aide to the U.S. French Ambassador, the...
Topping the box office with an estimated $30 million in its seventh week of release, Avatar [HWAVA] advanced its total up to $594.5 million. With just $6 million short of Titanic, the 3D sci-fi epic is poised to become the all-time domestic recordholder on Tuesday. Worldwide, Avatar has earned an astronomical $2 billion, surpassing the previous high of $1.8 billion, also by Titanic.
Even if he couldn't topple Avatar, Mel Gibson [MGIBS] proved he remained a box office draw. The thriller...
Now here's the normal, full trailer for the Lionsgate drama Why Did I Get Married Too [WDIG2] from Tyler Perry [TPERR]. Gone are the Miami Vice-like beats and fast cuts from the teaser that tried to sell the sequel as some sort of trouble in paradise thriller. With a poster featuring handcuffs made out of wedding rings and "domestic violence" listed in its MPAA rating, the sequel does promise to be much darker than the original.
An elite band of soldiers become fugitives when the government turned against them. No, not The A-Team [ATEAM], but The Losers [LOSRS]. Warner Bros. has finally cut loose the trailer for the comic adaptation on MSN. Though The Losers features a cast of recognizable faces in Jeffrey Dean Morgan [JDMOR], Idris Elba [IELBA], Chris Evans [CEVAN] and Zoe Saldana [ZSALD], the action adventure could get lost in the shuffle on its current release date of April 9th. Opening a week later is...
Two new openers will try to knock off the reigning champion Avatar [HWAVA], but the sci-fi adventure still has enough momentum to up its streak to seven weekends atop the box office. The 3D spectacle has slipped less than 20% in each successive weekend, a rate unheard of since Titanic. Speaking of the sinking ship, Avatar is poised to bank another $28 million this weekend, bringing its cumulative gross just a few millions short of Titanic’s all-time domestic record of $600 million.

The domestic trailer improves on the international trailer by setting up Ewan McGregor [EMCGR] as our way into the story packed dense with political intrigue.
