Miramax is No More

Miramax, the former indie movie studio that churned out big time commercial hits such as “Pulp Fiction,” “Good Will Hunting” and “Chicago,” was shut down yesterday by Disney. The former Hollywood powerhouse, founded 30 years ago by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, lost some of its artsy appeal after selling out to Disney in 1993. In fact, it appeared that instead of growing the business, Mickey & Company scaled back production. The studio has been on life support since the fall when president Daniel Battsek resigned.

Theatre Owners Name Sandra Bulock their Top Star

In the eyes of U.S. movie theater owners, Sandra Bullock shined as 2009’s top Hollywood star at the box office, as the actress nicknamed “America’s Sweetheart” scored with audiences after a two-year absence from screens.

Quigley Publishing Company’s annual list released on Thursday of top money making stars, based on a poll of hundreds of theater executives, had Bullock beat out such stars as George Clooney and Denzel Washington, on the strength of her roles in “The Proposal” and “The Blind Side.”

Romantic comedy “The Proposal” made $315 million at worldwide box offices following its June release, and football drama “The Blind Side” has made $193 million only in the U.S. and Canada since its November 20 release, with its roll-out in other countries still to come.

Bullock, who also starred in the 2009 comedy “All About Steve” with its $34 million take in the U.S. and Canada, is the eighth woman to top Quigley’s list of top money making stars, which the company has put out each year since 1932.

Quigley Publishing said the list does not rank stars only on how much cash their films made, but on what theater owners say about who attracts audiences on their star power alone.

For instance, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” was the top movie at U.S. and Canada box offices in 2009 with more than $400 million, but many in Hollywood attribute that to the appeal of the franchise itself and the toys it’s based on.

Movie Posters That Almost Were…

There is a fantastic list over at ONTD of some mock movie posters… Have you ever watched a movie and thought the lead sucked so bad that you could name about 10 other people who could have done it better. Well, the reason they sucked is they were probably not the Director’s first choice. 

You can click here for a list of movies that were re-cast at the last second/ films that very nearly had a different actor in the lead role. It’s a real surprise!
