Deadline: Based on the book by Nathaniel Philbrick, Warner Bros and Village Roadshow’s In The Heart Of The Sea is diving into 38 international territories this weekend and the first numbers are in. The Ron Howard-directed fight for survival story of the crew of the Whaleship Essex grossed $5.5M through Friday. The Thursday take was $2.2M from 6,268 screens in 26 markets with yesterday adding over $3M in the full 38 on 8,500. The footprint now covers about 55% of offshore play. Among highlights are Mexico, Russia and Korea. The U.S. gets the whale tale on December 11.
Saw’s legacy is often remembered for its inventive traps, but the original film is actually a psychological thriller – not horror.
CCG writes - "Lost on a Mountain in Maine is based off of a 2013 book documenting the true story about a twelve-year-old boy named Donn who was lost on Mt. Katahdin for nine days. This happened in 1939 where there were no cell phones, air tags, GPS, or any easy way to locate lost people. What makes this story even more miraculous is that Donn wasn't a seasoned hiker with proper equipment. He was separated from his family during a storm and was fending for himself with only the clothes on his back. "
TNS: "The final Venom film, Venom: The Last Dance, is an enjoyable mess that manages to have fun while falling apart."
