Box Office: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Takes The Easter Weekend Top Slot

“G.I. Joe: Retaliation" had every reason to fail and flop much like its bumped 2012 tentpole predecessor "Jack The Giant Slayer" which audiences turned their noses up to earlier this year.

'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer Says She Has More Stories Planned, Will More Films Be Made?

It’s pretty clear that we aren’t the demographic or audience for the “Twilight” series of films, but it’s also obvious that we’re a small contingent, as all of the films continue to be box office successes – with 2011’s fourth installment, “Breaking Dawn: Part 1,” raking in over $700 million worldwi...

'Twilight' Author Stephenie Meyer To Bring '70s Young Adult Tale 'Down A Dark Hall' To The Big Screen

As “Twilight” author Stephanie Meyer continues to build upon her Stephen King-like empire in the Young Adult world, with the supposedly adult-minded sci-fi novel “The Host” already set to make it to the big screen next March, she now looks to extended her notoriety by bringin...
