The remake of the horror film “A Nightmare on Elm Street” topped all films at the box office this weekend, according to early estimates from Hollywood.com. The Warner Bros. film grossed $32.2 million in its opening weekend.
Following up in a distant second place was “How To Train Your Dragon” (Paramount), which earned $10.82 million, bringing its total gross to date to nearly $200 million.
In third place was “Date Night” (Fox) with $7.6, while the Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy “The Back-Up Plan” (CBS) earned $7.2 million.
The poorly reviewed family comedy “Furry Vengeance” (Summit) earned $6.5 million in its opening weekend.
The re-booted “Nightmare” franchise stars Oscar-nominated actor Jackie Earle Haley as the new Freddy Krueger. Paul Dergarabedian, president of the box-office division of Hollywood.com, said in an email that Haley “proved that he was able to fill the rather large shoes of Robert Englund who for years put his indelible stamp on this iconic and classic horror character.”
'Housefull,' the multi-starrer Sajid Khan movie, has done a good business of Rs 64 crore in its first opening weekend, worldwide.
The movie that stars Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan has been made at a whopping 45 crore and has grossed 48 crores in its home country, India.
'Housefull' is a romantic comedy and it opened to 2000 screens globally on Friday and its overseas earning was 16 crore over the weekend.
Nandu Ahuja, senior vice president of Eros International Media Limited, informs, “Housefull being the first major release post 45 days of cricket frenzy, we were confident that it will open very well. With its excellent weekend performance, the biggest of the year so far, Housefull has lived up to its name.” Cinema response of Housefull
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, 'Housefull' has witnessed an average occupancy of 90 per cent in almost every multiplex in the country.
The comic movie features a man who marries in the hope of finding true love in his life but ends up in situations that has the audience laughing most of the time.
Amit Awasthi, manager of Spice Cinemas, reveals, “The weekend response was tremendous. Despite having 31 shows at a gap of half-an-hour, the average occupancy has been nothing less than 80-85 per cent and the weekend was jam packed. It has a done of business of gross Rs.2.5 million in three days.”
“Housefull exploded like a bomb at the dull box office and has been amazing. People are liking the content and it has brought us close to 80 per cent occupancy despite having more than 200 shows across all our propertied in Delhi and NCR,” quips a source from PVR Cinemas. Deepika’s first comedy movie
Actress Deepika Padukone plays a glam doll in Housefull and impresses the audience with her brilliant performance in the movie.
Styled by Aki Narula in the film, she looks better than Lara and Jiah in the movie. She reveals that her bikini color was also decided by Aki and Sajid and all she cared for was her shoot.
About featuring in a comedy movie, Deepika says, “Comedy is one of the toughest genres for an actor. I was quite nervous on the first few days of the shooting.”
“Actually, comedy is not just about making funny expressions; it’s about timing and being spontaneous. In that sense, there was very little acting
. I just said my lines as naturally as possible,” she concludes.
Since she signed Kites opposite Hrithik Roshan, Mexican actor Barbara Mori has been constantly in the news, thanks to her sizzling chemistry with Roshan, both on and off screen.
Interestingly, Kites helmed by Anurag Basu may well be her first Bollywood outing but it certainly won’t be her last.
“I have been getting lots of offers from Hindi filmmakers but I’m considering only one of them. All I can reveal at this point is that it’s another interesting love story,” says Mori.
“I really liked the story and I have my fingers crossed that things will work out. I’d love to do another Bollywood film. Hopefully you should hear an announcement soon.”
She has met a few Bollywood stars during her trips to Mumbai but can’t recall everyone’s names. “I met Shah Rukh Khan and I’m told he’s one of the biggest actors here. He’s a very nice person,” she asserts.
Mori has also developed a liking for Indian fragrance. Wherever she goes, her attendant follows with a couple of lighted incense sticks. Sniff! Let’s start at the very beginning since that’s a good place to begin. How did Kites happen?
A friend told me that this Indian filmmaker wants to cast me in his movie. I contacted Rakesh (producer Rakesh Roshan) on his e-mail address. We exchanged a couple of mails after which I met Anurag (director Anurag Basu) and him. They narrated the script to me. I fell in love with it immediately and Kites was on. Had you seen any Hindi movies before you signed Kites?
No, it was only after I signed Kites that I saw Hrithik’s (co-star Hrithik Roshan) Jodhaa Akbar. I also saw a couple of films that Rakesh and Anurag had made. I can’t remember the names. Our movies are very different from the ones in Bollywood. The major difference are the songs and dances. You guys have plenty of them while we have none. What did you think of Jodhaa-Akbar?
I thought it was really long. I wondered if Hrithik would be a lot like Akbar in real life too… If he’d walk with his chest puffed out, hands bent at the sides and head held high (demonstrates the walk). I was like, “Oh my God, how am I going to manage working in this film?” But then I saw some of his other films and I realised that he’s a very good actor and a wonderful person too. That reassured me! You learnt Hindi for the movie?
I just learnt a few cuss words from Hrithik. Sometimes when I wasn’t too pleased with a shot, I’d use them. Everyone around would burst out laughing. And did you teach some Mexican expletives to Hrithik?
Of course, and we’d all crack up when he said something funny in Mexican. (Laughs) You’ll have to ask him what all he learnt. Kites is not only my first Hindi movie but also my first English language film. And I’ve done song and dance numbers for the first time in my life, as also, action scenes. It will always be my most memorable movie. Was it easy matching steps with Hrithik?
It was really difficult since I’m not used to choreographed dancing. Besides, Hrithik is a fab dancer who works hard on perfecting his moves. I needed lot of rehearsals. Does your son, Sergio, ever try to copy his dance steps or action moves?
(Smiles) Sergio was around when we shot a song and did try to copy Hrithik’s moves a couple of times. He asked Hrithik to show him some steps and worked hard to learn them. He obliged.
It’s believed that your brother Kintaro was to sing the song that Hrithik eventually rendered but Rakesh Roshan felt that he wasn’t prepared.Not at all, my brother is working on a beautiful album. What does your family think of your Bollywood debut?
Naturally, they’re all very happy. They’ve loved whatever they have seen of the film while we were shooting. I had come to Mumbai earlier with my mother and she’s very pleased with my work here. (Smiles) My son loves Hrithik too. Bret Ratner is presenting the English version of Kites in the US. Do you see the film as your big ticket to Hollywood?
I’m just happy that the film has turned out beautifully. I’m told that the promos and the music are generating a positive buzz. It feels great to know that people are looking forward to my debut.
