REMEMBER ME BRINGS IN 51.4 MILLION DOLLARS AT THE BOX OFFICE

Remem­ber Me has brought in 51.4 mil­lion dol­lars so far at the box office accord­ing to Box Office Mojo. Remem­ber Me has a domes­tic total of 19,019,000$ and a for­eign total of 32, 379,153$ for a grand total of 51,398,153$. Look­ing at the infor­ma­tion below you’ll see that the for­eign num­ber dif­fers slightly as the totals have not all been added up. I added up the num­bers from this page here to get the for­eign num­ber total. We are so happy that Remem­ber has brought in this much so far, but we’re hop­ing that the DVD and Blu-Ray sales will bring the total to a much higher number.

If you’re still lucky enough to have Remem­ber Me still play­ing in a the­atre near you don’t hes­i­tate to go see it again. As for me, I’ll have to patiently wait for my DVD to watch it again. It’s such a great heart­felt movie.

This movie is truly impor­tant as it’s Rob’s first movie out­side of the Twi­light Saga, since the Saga was released. It proves to the rest of the world what us fans knew all along, that Rob is a great actor and can play a vast range of emo­tions. As some­one who has had to live with the death of a loved one by sui­cide I can assure you that Rob truly por­trayed what it’s like to lose some­one in such a fashion.

If you want to pre-order Remem­ber on DVD clickHEREand for Blu-Ray clickHERE

Remem­ber Me will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on June 22nd and includes an audio com­men­tary by Rob.

BIGGEST BOX OFFICE COMPETITION FOR "ECLIPSE" IS "THE LAST AIRBENDER"???

We've known for some time that Jackson Rathbone's The Last Airbender would be released very near to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and months ago, Eclipse was listed right alongside Airbender on Variety's assessment of "formidable competition" for the summer box office.

A lot of Twilight fans have operated under the assumption that those who would see Eclipse this summer would not be deterred by the date of Airbender's release, but Variety has readdressed the situation and suggests that the formidable competition at issue now is between Eclipse and Airbender. "Eclipse," unspooling June 30, will face tough competition for male eyeballs from Paramount's event pic "The Last Airbender," which opens July 2. Last week, Paramount upped the ante by announcing that it's converting "Airbender" to 3D.

As is obvious in this film franchise (especially with the recently released final trailer), Eclipse filmmakers are trying to reach an expanded audience (namely, more male fans), so the situation of Airbender just behind Eclipse could serve as an obstacle to getting some new bodies in the theaters for the film.

Other than Airbender, it's been suggested that Twelve is a potential box office competitor for Eclipse.

On the other hand, Eclipse does have the advantage of opening first in the week (Wednesday, June 30th), so that might be a factor to consider. Still, do you think there's a chance the temporal placement could impact the influx of Twi-guys? Why or why not?

REMEMBER ME CROSSES $50 MILLION MARK WORLDWIDE

Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me, the $16 million production referred to by some (those who have trouble with the Pattinson/Twilight phenomenon) as a "box office flop," has grossed about $50 million worldwide.

According to figures provided by Box Office Mojo, Remember Me has taken in $18.852 million (as of Apr. 22) in the United States/Canada and more than $30.09 million overseas.

I say "more than" because Box Office Mojo’s chart for Remember Me hasn’t been updated for several markets, including key ones such as Australia (Mar. 28), Italy (Apr 4), The Netherlands (Apr 11), and Russia (Apr 4). Also, the most recent data available overall is from April 18, or a week ago. (Box Office Mojo hasn’t updated their international total — shown on top — for the movie since April 11.)

By now, Pattinson’s Remember Me has undoubtedly already crossed the $50 million mark worldwide. And it still hasn’t opened in foreign territories such as Japan, China, and South Korea.

Outside the US/Canada, Remember Me’s top markets are: the UK ($5.168m), Russia/CSI ($3.396m), Germany ($3.019m), France ($2.848m), Italy ($2.358m), Spain ($2.319m), Brazil ($1.893m), and Australia ($1.216m).

By now, Pattinson’s first tryout as an "actor-executive producer" has probably crossed the $1 million mark in Belgium/Luxemburg ($988K, Apr 18), and perhaps in Mexico ($916K, Apr. 18) as well.

Directed by Allen Coulter, Remember Me stars Pattinson as Tyler Hawkins, a rebellious young man at odds with his wealthy father (Pierce Brosnan). Also in the cast: Emilie de Ravin, Chris Cooper, Lena Olin, and Ruby Jerins. Will Fetters wrote the screenplay.
