Hollywood is obsessed with IP. Case in point, Daniel Richtman’s latest reporting that Sony is rebooting “Total Recall” for the second time. The 2012 reimagining, starring Colin Farrell, was a total critical and commercial bust. Paul Verhoeven perfected the Phillip K Dick story with his 1990 film — sometimes, you just shouldn’t mess with greatness.
Paul Greengrass’ "The Uprising," starring Andrew Garfield, opened to $3.2M from 2,068 theaters this weekend. Yikes. The budget hasn’t been disclosed, but is said to be in the $20-$30M range.
