The new trailer for “Red 2” looks great.
Maybe a little too great as it shows a lot and I’m hoping this isn’t a case where we’ve already seen the film’s best jokes. Still, I’m very intrigued with the dynamic of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary Louise Parker and the pairing of Helen Mirren and Byung hun Lee (“G.I. Joe: Retaliation”).

UPDATE: I originally wrote this May 24 and for Paramount, the big gamble definitely paid off.
While “Retaliation” is not quite the domestic juggernaught of its predecessor, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” – earning about $20 million less –but it’s already well on the way to outperforming “ROC” on the international market by a wide margin. Worldwide, “Retaliation” has earned $232 million in only two weeks and will easily surpass “ROC’s” worldwide take of $302 million. This doesn’t count major markets China and Japan, which have yet to open the film.
That headline probably works best if said while imitating The Rock…

On what I assume has to be the final stop in the “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” promotional efforts since the film opened in the U.S. on Thursday after roll-outs worldwide earlier this month, the cast came out to Los Angeles to greet fans and get dolled up one more time. More

Jinx (Elodie Yung), Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Snake-Eyes (Ray Park) and Flint (D.J. Cotrona) in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.”
After the criminal acts committed to my childhood by the first attempt at a live-action G.I. Joe movie, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” I questioned why Paramount Pictures thought there was still a future in the Joe-moviemaking business and green lit a sequel.
Turns out it was a good thing they decided to take another stab at doing it right this time as “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” is like a Joe movie made by actual fans of the property. While it’s not perfect, “Retaliation” fully captures the fun spirit and excitement of the source material. More

In sharing the pictures from the Sydney, Australia premiere of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” I wondered when we’d start to see the other cast members join their co-stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, Lee Byung-hun and director Jon M. Chu in promoting the film. More

JASON BATEMAN and MELISSA MCCARTHY lead the cast of “Identity Thief”, an all-star comedy in which a regular guy is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.
1. Identity Thief – $14.1 million [3rd week; $94 million in total] The year’s highest-grossing film returned to the top of the box office and is maintaining its hold on audiences. This was definitely solid scheduling for Universal, which took advantage of the male-action star heavy January and February to slot its uncontested comedy. Audiences who just wanted to laugh have no other option and as a result, are flocking to catch this Jason Bateman-Melissa McCarthy collaboration.

1. A Good Day to Die Hard – $25 million [debut week; $33.2 million total] Call this the strength of a solid brand name. Sylvester Stallone’s “Bullet to the Head” only was able to muster $4.5 million its opening weekend while Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “The Last Stand” earned $6.2 million, marks Bruce Willis’ fifth turn in the “Die Hard” series surpassed with its $7.2 million haul on Friday despite far less favorable reviews. “Stand” scored 59% on rottentomatoes.com and “Head” managed 49% while “Die Hard” scored a pitiful 17% rating. The morale of the story? Schwarzenegger is already set to return to familiar franchises “The Terminator” and “Conan” while Stallone is starting work on “The Expendables 3.” As for “Die Hard 5?” This will struggle to match “Live Free or Die Hard’s” franchise best $134.5 million and have trouble reaching the $100 million threshold.

To say “A Good Day to Die Hard” is the worst of the series doesn’t give its unique level of awfulness justice. That’s largely because the franchise hasn’t had a stinker up to this point, but this is certainly the “Rocky V” of the beloved Bruce Willis franchise and it reeks. More

Here’s a look back at the fourth film in the series, the even better than expected “Live Free or Die Hard.” More
