Oh, to be a fly on the wall at Disney this weekend.

The interns were busy taking down all the John Carter posters, and replacing them with Avengers posters

With regards to that Paladin project: As long as there's no desert scenes, it should be fine.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-carter-the-lorax-eddie-murphy-box-office-298178Damn THR says 10m Friday."Early returns show John Carter earning around $10 million on Friday, putting it on course for a weekend in the $25 million to $30 million range, far short of what Disney needs to put the film in the black."

Walt Disney Pictures Plans Paladin

Walt Disney Pictures is developing a film called Paladin from screenwriter Max Borenstein, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter. Little is known about the specifics of the plot, but it's said to be a sci-fi adventure project separate from the still-untitled one announced in January.

That's the spirit Disney!

Lol, just that name alone screams unmarketable. Oh Disney.

I hope Guru's number is the correct one for JC.

We should be getting an update from NIkke soon. She's not gonna let THR out do her.

[RichWS]

That THR report was posted 6 hours ago, so it's not exactly a revision.

Yeah it's early. So Guru's is probably more accurate I guess.

For all of Nikki's bluster about breaking this one down into tiny little pieces, she hasn't updated since mid-afternoon.
