2016 Razzie Awards Nominations

The nominations for the 2016 Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards have been announced. As usual, there are some good picks and some pretty weird ones. "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Pixels", "Jupiter Ascending" and "Paul Blart Mall Cop 2" dominate with six nominations each.

It's not all negativity, however, as the Razzies have included a 10th category last year, The Razzie Redeemer Award, which acknowledges past offenders who have redeemed themselves with some impressive work in the past year. The Redeemer winner is decided by a public vote of users from the Rotten Tomatoes website.

The 36th annual Razzie Awards winners will be announced on February 27th.

Box-Office: MORTDECAI and STRANGE MAGIC Flop While AMERICAN SNIPER Holds Top Spot

For a second consecutive weekend Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" dominated the weekend box-office with a huge $64 million which makes it the highest grossing second weekend for an R-rated movie ever. By comparison, previous record holders for R-rated second weekends were "The Passion of the Christ" which grossed $53 million, "The Matrix Reloaded" with $36.9 million and "The Hangover Part II with $31 million. Sniper is also on track to become the highest grossing war movie of all time, a record previously held by "Saving Private Ryan" with $216 million.

In second place we have the Blumhouse thriller "The Boy Next Door" which stars Jennifer Lopez. The film did not make much of an impression on critics, but still managed to gross $15 million in its opening weekend, a solid performance considering its $4 million production costs.

Not so much happiness for Johnny Depp and George Lucas, however. Depp's newest comedy, "Mortdecai" flopped with a $4 million debut versus a $60 million budget, and reviews that were equally disastrous. As for Lucas, the animated feature "Strange Magic", a collaboration between Disney and Lucasfilm, failed to attract its target demographic and landed on 7th place with $5.5 million. Although the film's budget has not been released, it can't be good. Lucas contributed the story and acted as executive-producer for the film. This is his second flop as executive-producer after 2012's "Red Tails", although that film actually opened with $18 million, which is probably what "Strange Magic" will make in its entire domestic run.

New Wide Releases: "The Boy Next Door", "Strange Magic", "Mortdecai".

New MORTDECAI Trailer and Poster: Johnny Depp Stars as Debonair Art Dealer

A new trailer and poster have been released for David Koepp's "Mortdecai". The film is based on the novel by Kyril Bonfiglioli, but since I haven't read the book and have only this trailer to go on, I have a very bad feeling about this. I'm not sure exactly what I can expect from a film that has a character named Jock Strapp (played by Paul Bettany). Johnny Depp looks somewhat comfortable in yet another excentric role and it's possible his performance will be the only thing mildly watchable about this one. The cast also features Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn, Aubrey Plaza, Jeff Goldblum and Oliver Platt.

"Mortdecai" opens in theaters on January 23, 2015.

New MORTDECAI Posters Featuring Johnny Depp, Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Munn and Ewan McGregor

Four character posters have been released for the action comedy "Mortdecai". Directed by David Koepp (writer of "Spiderman" and "Jurassic Park") and based on the novel by Kyril Bonfiglioli, the film stars Johnny Depp as art dealer Charles Mortdecai, who is on a quest to find a stolen painting that's reportedly linked to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold. Gwyneth Paltrow, Ewan McGregor, Olivia Munn, Aubrey Plaza, Jeff Goldblum, Oliver Platt and Paul Bettany also star. Hopefuly there's more to this movie than just another one of Depp's bizzare characters. It certainly doesn't help that the film's writer has only one other film in his resume, an obscure 2001 romantic comedy titled "On the Line" which starred 'N Sync's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone.

"Mortdecai" opens in theaters on January 23, 2015.
