28 Weeks Later Summary:
The devastating rage virus that annihilated the British Isles mysteriously resurfaces in Goya Award-winning director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's sequel to the Danny Boyle directed horror hit that terrified audiences worldwide by offering a breathless new take on the familiar zombie mythos. Six months has passed since the rage virus caused British residents to indiscriminately murder and destroy everything in their paths, and now the U.S. military has declared victory in the war against the rapidly-spreading infection. As the reconstruction process gets underway and the first wave of refugees return to British shores, a family separated by the devastation is happily reunited. The joy of seeing their family together again is short-lived, however, when it becomes obvious that one of them harbors a horrific secret. Now, just as society struggles to sort through the rubble and rebuild London from the ground up, the virus that nearly destroyed a nation strikes back with a vengeance. Jeremy Renner, Robery Carlyle, Rose Byrne, Harold Perrineau, Jr., and Catherine McCormack star in a frightful sequel that highlights the dangers of declaring victory in the calm before the storm.

Opening Weekend Records Shattered in 29 Countries
CULVER CITY, Calif., May 7 — The world’s moviegoers were
caught in the web of Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man(TM) 3 at the global box
office this weekend as the film grossed $382 million worldwide, the highest
opening ever in motion picture history, it was announced today by Jeff
Blake, vice chairman, Sony Pictures Entertainment. Of that, $231 million
was tallied from international ticket sales, with $151 million coming from
the film’s record-setting debut in North America. Playing in 4,252 domestic
locations, the film took in an average of $35,540 per screen. The film also
unspooled at more than 8,900 locations abroad.
In addition to being #1 for the weekend in all 107 territories around
the world in which it opened, Spider-Man 3 set a new mark for the biggest
weekend of all time in 29 countries, including the United States, Canada,
Japan, South Korea, China, Italy, Mexico, and Brazil. Among its many
accomplishments, the film set new records for the biggest single worldwide
day (Saturday, May 5 - $117,631,328), biggest international opening ($231
million), and biggest worldwide opening ($382 M).
Many of the opening frame records were broken by astounding margins. In
Korea, Spider-Man 3 did three times the business of the previous record
holder (Korean film The Host) and bested the previous-best Hollywood film
(The Matrix Reloaded) by more than four times. In Japan, Spider-Man 3 broke
the old record opening weekend by 44%; in Brazil, by 48%, in Mexico by 37%;
and in Italy, the film beat the previous record holder The DaVinci Code by
24%.

biggest per-theater average for a wide release ($35,540). The film also set
a new record for the largest domestic gross in IMAX theaters, with $4.8
million.
Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “This weekend, more than
80% of the moviegoers around the world chose Spider-Man 3 and we couldn’t
be more overwhelmed or elated by the global reception to this movie. We
have always strived to deliver films with great stories that would excite
and entertain audiences and credit for that goes first and foremost to our
filmmakers and cast: director Sam Raimi, our partners at Marvel, our
producers Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Grant Curtis, and our stars Tobey
Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Haden Church, and Topher
Grace. Spider-Man 3 builds on the first two films and satisfies the
extraordinary expectations of fans everywhere. This was truly a massive
achievement not only for Sony Pictures, but the film industry as a whole.
Summer is finally here and we expect that moviegoers everywhere will find
that the 2007 season will be one to remember.”
Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man(TM) 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers
from the first two blockbuster adventures for a web of excitement that will
transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights on May 4, 2007.

Coming Soon: Waitress
Keri Russell, with her frizzed locks and clear angelic eyes, has a look of such pert vivacity that when you first see her in Waitress, it's hard to imagine that she's anything but happy. She plays Jenna, who works in a small-town Southern pie diner that's just far enough off the main drag to seem like the last coffee shop on Earth. At this ramshackle pit stop, Jenna has her work family — her sister waitresses, plus the grouch of a cook — and she follows her bliss by creating new pies, each inspired by a different incident (''I Hate My Husband Pie,'' and so on). We see the concoctions assembled in sped-up overhead shots, each recipe more luscious than the last. It turns out that the pies are a good deal sweeter than Jenna's life.
Married to an angry, jealous control freak (Jeremy Sisto), Jenna has just learned that she's pregnant, and she's miserable about it — though in this deep-dish comedy of red-state blues, the possibility of terminating the pregnancy is never even discussed. Waitress understands what it is to be a woman trapped. Things start to look up when Jenna meets her new ob-gyn, Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion), whose quizzically urgent manner and Bob Costas hair mark him as a white knight of graciousness. So she jumps his bones (even though he's married too).
Waitress is a wee romantic charmer, a delectable Dixie screwball romp that never loses its spry sense of discovery. Written and directed by Adrienne Shelly, the New York actress and filmmaker who was tragically killed last year (she appears, along with Cheryl Hines, as one of Jenna's waitress pals), the movie is always high-spirited, but it's also wistful, sexy, and melancholy. It mixes flavors as brazenly as Jenna does in her traditional yet wild desserts. Russell, in a star performance, lets each new feeling shine through her skin — there's a great sequence, scored to Cake's ''Short Skirt/Long Jacket,'' in which she beams her way through the diner after sex — but Waitress offers no easy resolution. What lifts the audience sky-high is the portrait of Jenna awakening, in every sense, to the life inside her. In what was, sadly, to be her last movie, Adrienne Shelly proved a filmmaker who will long be savored.

"Iron Man" is the name of Marvel's 2008 hero
Iron Man is the latest Marvel Comics superhero to jump from splash page to big screen. (The film is due May 2008.) Director Jon Favreau (Elf ) began shooting in March with star Robert Downey Jr. — in his first comic-book role — as the man inside the cybernetic Mark III suit (pictured) and Gwyneth Paltrow as his trusted assistant. In the film, Downey plays Tony Stark, a playboy industrialist who decides to don high-tech armor to fight baddies after suffering a life-threatening heart injury in war-torn Afghanistan. ''This is a decidedly adult superhero story,'' says Favreau. (Fanboy FYI: Look for Stark's legendary drinking problem to pop up in possible sequels.)source
