Will Smith vs. His 8-Year-Old Daughter

As anyone can tell you, Will Smith is in the undisputed champion of the July 4 weekend box office; so powerful is his Independence Day–related appeal that Columbia Pictures apparently felt safe green-lighting a $150 million Smith-toplined dark comedy about an alcoholic superhero on the condition that it would be released July 2, when it will inevitably make millions upon millions of dollars for reasons that no one quite understands. But next Wednesday, Smith's Hancock will face some unlikely competition when America's small women descend on Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery, opening in wide release that day and, coincidentally, starring his 8-year-old daughter, Willow.
Hilariously, Willow is proving to be something of a trash-talker. "He thinks he is going to beat me," she said an interview last week. "But I think not. I think I am going to beat him." Last night on Letterman, Smith responded: "Daddy loves you, sweetie, but I gots to stomp you at the box office." Who will win? We'd probably root for Willow if we didn't think a Kit Kittredge victory might actually tear her family apart.

Although they cannot claim to be the well-nigh successful of '80s Japanese heavy metal bands (non by a long shot, that would hold to be Loudness), Earthshaker could well be the well-nigh stable, having retained the same effect lineup of isaac M. Singer Masafumi Nishida, guitar player Shinichiro Ishihara, bassist Takayuki Kai, and drummer Yoshihiro Kudo throughout their two-decade-plus macrocosm -- no base effort. Taking their make from the legendary Y&T album (just a blip on the U.S. radiolocation, simply an absolute smash in Japan), Earthshaker achieved some small credit in the West thanks to their splendid eponymic debut of 1983 (which they recorded while residing in San Francisco, with none other than Iron Maiden guitar player Adrian Smith performing as producer) and, to a lesser grade, 1984's Fugitive (featuring future soft rock and roll manufacturer Mitchell Froom on keyboards!). But subsequent efforts Midnight Flight (1985) and Passion (1986) grew more and more unfocussed and fraught with ill-advised commercial aspirations, so that, following the same year's mandatory Live in Budokan LP, Earthshaker decided to simply cut the West and focus on being successful in their country of origin. Which they sure as shooting did, enjoying a strand of successful albums in old age to come (including 1987's Aftershock, 1989's Treachery, and 1993's Real, to make simply trine) until going away their separate ways in 1994, piece Ishihara focused on his parallel J-metal supergroup Sly, with Blizzard bassist Koichi Terasawa and ousted Loudness members, vocaliser Minoru Niihara and drummer Munetaka Higuchi, to the tune of four successful albums. However, popular demand and their 20th anniversary punctually reunited Earthshaker for 2001's capably titled Birthday, with additional studio albums (now song largely in their native Japanese) next well-nigh on a annual basis.

Pixar's weekend will be off the 'WALL-E'
'Wanted' likely to collect $30 mil haul for No. 2
|
His name is WALL-E -- an acronym for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class -- and the little fella is a bit of a drone who has been left behind on Earth to clean up mankind's mess. The hero of Pixar's latest, similarly titled "WALL-E," he makes his debut in 3,992 theaters nationwide as Disney rolls out the G-rated film.
While the weekend's other new wide release, the R-rated action film "Wanted," should do a brisk business of its own, it's not looking to compete for the crowds expected to rush to embrace "WALL-E."
The early reviews have been ecstatic, hailing the Pixar team, this time headed by director Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo") for raising the animation bar again. So it's a safe bet that Pixar will enjoy its ninth successive No. 1 opening.
"Certainly, the reviews that have been springing up all day have been nothing short of fantastic," Disney distribution chief Chuck Viane said. "And with schools out for vacation, there is a big family audience out there."
With kids finally out of school nationwide, there should be plenty of demand for the movie, even though DreamWorks Animation's "Kung Fu Panda," which has held up well, enters its fourth weekend.
"WALL-E," which cost about $120 million, is not expected to bow as big as 2004's "The Incredibles" ($70.5 million) or 2003's "Finding Nemo" ($70.3 million), but it is expected to top the $47 million opening that "Ratatouille" achieved last summer as it pushes well into $50 million territory, possibly even flirting with the $60 million mark.
Instead of going head-to-head, Universal is aiming for a different segment of the market with "Wanted," in which James McAvoy plays an everyman drawn into a world of high-powered assassins by a supercharged Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. Director Timur Bekmambetov, until now known for the Russian "Night Watch" movies, orchestrates the nonstop action in 3,175 theaters.
This year, when the Universal/Spyglass production budgeted at about $75 million was still shooting, Universal shifted its release date from March to this weekend.
"We saw an opportunity for counterprogramming and took advantage of it," Universal distribution head Nikki Rocco said. "The movie is very fresh and very different. And it's always a great thing when there's room for two films to play to different audiences."
As a result, "Wanted" is positioned to debut as a strong No. 2 -- handicappers place its likely weekend haul in the mid- to high-$30 million range -- which should set it up to play through the following Fourth of July holiday weekend, even with "Hancock," starring Will Smith, laying claim to the top spot.
This frame, with the combined muscle of "WALL-E" and "Wanted," should keep the boxoffice elevated above the comparable weekend last year -- when "Ratatouille" and "Live Free or Die Hard" topped the rankings -- for the fifth weekend in a row.
