Holiday Weekend Box Office: 2011 Goes Out A LoserThe box office got a boost as 2011 departed and 2012 arrived. Sales were up considerably from last weekend's Christmas holiday and the new year is off to a solid start. But despite those bits of good news, overall 2011 was anything but a banner year for ticket sales....by Scott Gwin | published: 2012-01-02 22:07:24comments
Holiday Weekend Box Office: Hollywood In The Red For ChristmasAfter a slow start for movies opening early on Wednesday, the Christmas holiday rallied a bit into Monday. Overall, box office results were slightly higher than the same four day holiday weekend last year, but that's small consolation for an industry that saw a major ticket sale backslide in 2011....by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-12-26 16:22:33comments
Weekend Box Office: Holmes and Chipmunks Get Christmas Coal'Tis the season to see sequels. But this season the sequels aren't being seen by very many. Hollywood's Christmas 2011 continues to disappoint at the box office. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows took first place this weekend, but there wasn't much to celebrate. With only $40 million it dropped well below the $62 million its predecessor banked two Christmases ago. ...by Scott Gwin | published: 2011-12-18 23:31:56comments
Robert Downey Jr. Talks Cross-Dressing As Sherlock HolmesThe idea of Robert Downey Jr. making things up as he goes along on a film set isn’t anything new. In 2009, Jeff Bridges was quoted saying that on the production of Iron Man he, Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau would only figure out how a scene would play out right before shooting it. Seeing how well that project ended up, it’s no surprise that Downey Jr. would employ the approach in his other films as well. For example, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-15 13:40:02comments
The Smartest Guys In The Room: 6 Of Our Favorite Cinematic Smart-AssesThis weekend marks the return of Sherlock Holmes, who is a wise ass as portrayed in the recent movie series by Robert Downey Jr., but has been one of history's smartest characters since Arthur Conan Doyle created him in 1887.

Go Behind The Scenes Of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows With A New FeaturetteAs noted by star Robert Downey Jr. as he accepted his third Golden Globe in 2010, nobody thought that Sherlock Holmes was going to be able to succeed while going up against James Cameron's Avatar, but everyone was proven wrong.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Gets A Frenetic Second TrailerWe all know that Sherlock Holmes movies, as envisioned by Guy Ritchie, will contain insane action and occasional use of slo-mo and a lot of Victorian settings blown to smithereens. But why lean so heavily on that and leave out most of the humor? It's the repartee between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, not the glitzy modern action, that makes these movies worthwhile, but this trailer makes the sequel seem even more over-the-top than the original...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-10-19 07:06:35comments
Robert Downey Jr. And Jude Law Arm Themselves In Two New Sherlock Holmes PostersWhen I think about Sherlock Holmes, a few things spring to mind: Deerstalker hats, calabash pipes, and astounding intellect. While the character did carry a pistol, it was rarely used, as the character would more often than not participate in hand-to-hand. From the look of the two new posters for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the sequel to Guy Ritchie's 2009 winter blockbuster......by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-10-12 14:59:23comments
Moriarty And Holmes Play Chess In New Images From Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of ShadowsIt's a behind-the-scenes shot that shows Harris reading his script, so it's hard to get a sense of what exactly happens in the scene, but it seems safe to assume this confrontation won't end all that happily. The other two new images included both Jude Law as Dr. Watson and Noomi Rapace as the mystery gypsy woman Sim ...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-08-25 11:40:10comments
First Trailer For Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of ShadowsSherlock Holmes was easily one of the biggest surprises of winter 2009.

First Look At Jared Harris As Moriarty In Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of ShadowsThis is a much closer look, and boasts some wicked facial hair that we at least weren't seeing in Harris's Mad Men role. The accompanying article has some quotes from director Guy Ritchie saying some of the usual stuff about how excited he was to return, how much he likes the character, all of that...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-07-12 11:13:25comments
First Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Footage Dresses Its Detective In DragIf you’re willing to fight through Entertainment Tonight’s horrible, outdated style of showing off new footage then check out the video here for your first look at Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Sherlock Holmes, Watson, And Professor Moriarty In Two Game Of Shadows PostersTake special note of the figures in the background of each Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows advertisement.

8 Reasons 2011 Might Be The Worst Year Ever For Movie TitlesFor some reason these days the studios are getting tripped up between their own attempts at brand identity and a smidgen of creativity, resulting in movie titles that are horrible mashups of words and numbers and ideas that wind up meaning absolutely nothing, even to the audiences that supposedly love these franchises...by Katey Rich and Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-04-07 11:56:22comments
Sherlock Holmes Sequel Titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of ShadowsNow the only question that remains is which title is dumber: Transformers: Dark of the Moon or Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. I suppose that the strategy here is to try and prevent people from realizing that they're seeing the 20,o00th sequel of the year, but I would have been more than happy to see this film titled Sherlock Holmes 2....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-02-15 15:47:09comments
