Ant-Man Tops Box Office Followed By Pixels

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21477:]]

For the second week in a row, Ant-Man has topped the box office domestically, just narrowly beating out the new Adam Sandler movie Pixels.

Ant-Man nabbed $24.8 million to Pixels $24 million.

Ant-Man has now surpassed the $100 million mark in the U.S. ($106m) and stands at a worldwide cume of $226.4 million.

While Sandler and Pixels have been getting berated online, I actually loved the movie and thought it was really entertaining and fun (wasn’t expecting an Oscar-award winning film here, folks!), as did my two kids and their friend.

Thursday night saw the shooting in the Lafayette, Louisiana theater, but the tradgedy doesn’t appear to have affected movie goers as sales were actually up slightly this year compared to the same time last year (+2.4%).

Minions came in third for the week, followed by Trainwreck, Paper Towns and Southpaw.

Worth a note is that Jurassic World passed The Avengers: Age Of Ultron domestically hauling in $623.8 million (so far) to The Avengers 2‘s $623.4 million.

Things should pick up a bit next week with the release of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.

Pixels Post-Credit Scene Was Cut

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21457:]]

I just got back from watching Pixels and loved the movie. If you are any kind of video game fan – young or old – you should find Pixels to be a barrel of laughs and tons of fun. There are lots of references to classic games as well as the 1980s, which old school gamers should find appealing, and the younger generation should find laughable, but interesting.

I expected a post-credit scene for Pixels setting up a possible sequel, but alas there was no “to be continued.” It turns out there was a post-credit scene originally planned for the film, but it was cut.

The Pixels post-credit scene was to feature none other than Super Mario. Bros.; however, director Chris Colombus told Screen Crush they decided against it (slight spoilers follow).

We tried it. There was a moment we even did a previs of it, we thought it was interesting but we wanted to kind of use him somewhere else. I don’t want to spoil the fact that he maybe somewhere else in the film but … that ironically is a bigger moment for the audience than the ending with Mario.

I do have to say afte watching the movie, I much would have rather had Super Mario as the post-credit scene. There was really not much of a reaction when Mario was shown other than ‘oh, there’s Mario.’ I think the post-credit scene featuring Mario would have been a lot more special.

Mario actually made it into the Pixels script as the post-credit scene, which was (via SlashFilm): 

PAN UP AND SPIN AROUND, so we face the Washington Monument, damaged but still standing. When we reach the top, we see a small figure on top, hands on hips, watching all this from high above.

Mario.

We zoom in on his face, and he smiles. CUT TO BLACK

“Pixels” is currently in theaters starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, Brian Cox, Sean Bean, Jane Krakowski, Matt Lintz and Dan Aykroyd.
