The Avengers

Tom Cruise continues to fly high.

The lawsuit could have a big impact on Marvel’s future.

These stars influenced the final versions of their movies.

The films that changed films forever.

What happens when you play Family Feud with a bunch of superheroes? Well, who knows. But when Jimmy Kimmel plays it with the actors who PLAY those superheroes...it's pretty funny.

In one of the most public contract negotiations of the modern era, Robert Downey Jr. has let it be known that he finished his contractual obligations to Marvel and to playing Tony Stark and Iron Man. Which means his future involvement with both 'The Avengers' and 'Iron Man' will depend on how much Marvel is willing to pony up.

As the year comes to a close, we look back at a big year for the movie industry. Now it's time to figure out which movie was then Jersey Shore's favorite of 2012.

With the arrival of the film on Blu-ray, it's time to better assess the relative strengths and weakness of 'The Avengers.' Though the film was easily the most entertaining blockbuster of the summer, it's not without its faults. All of which are analyzed in the film's "honest trailer."

Snow White and the Huntsman grabbed a very solid $56.3 million this weekend to knock MIB III out of the top spot. The Will Smith flick pulled in just over $29 million, and although it's already out of number one, it has grabbed over $112 million in those two weeks. But the story again this weekend is really The Avengers.

Men In Black 3 pulled in 70 million dollars over the long holiday weekend and has dethroned The Avengers as the top movie at the box office. The Avengers continues to plow through the record books though, and now has brought in over $500,000,00. It's the fastest movie to do so, accomplishing that in 23 days.

A beautiful weekend at the Jersey shore didn't keep people from heading to the theaters, and what a weekend at the box office it was! The unbelievable, unprecedented run of  The Avengers continues as it brushed aside newcomer Battleship to maintain the top spot at the box office.

On Friday's morning show I mentioned the battle between The Avengers and Johnny Depp's Dark Shadows would be an interesting one since it seems almost automatic that a Johnny Depp movie always seems to bring in $25 million just because he's in it. I was right about that. It brought in $28.8 million. As far as a battle between Dark Shadows and The Avengers, not so much.
