‘Gotham’ Ratings Surge For Fox On Multi-Platform Viewing

Posted on by

by Dominic Patten

The realities of the 21st century television landscape have served a story first set in the late 1930 very very well. A month after its premiere, Fox’s freshman Gotham has hit a total multi-platform audience of 22.2 million, according to the network. Not only is that a pretty impressive number for the WBTV produced world of Batman backstory but it is actually a 168% life over the Live + Same Day audience of 8.3 million that the series got for its 8 PM September 22 debut.

Those Live + SD numbers were Fox’s best fall drama debut in since 2000 and Gotham hit an 18-49 record for Live + 7 lift when those results came in. However, perhaps more telling of how audiences are really watching content nowadays is the fact that 5 million of that 22.2 million audience came from non-linear viewing.

Today the filmmakers released the very first look at what Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel will look like in Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Hugh Jackman Breezes Through CBS’s Ruthlessly Upbeat All-Star Tony Show

Posted on by

By Jeremy Gerard

About midway through CBS’s live telecast of the 68th Tony Awards on Sunday night, host Hugh Jackman told the audience at Radio City Music Hall that the first show he’d ever been cast in was Meredith Willson’s The Music Man. To prepare, in fact, he’d learned all eight parts to Rock Island,’ the opening number of that signature piece of syncopated Americana, and to prove it, he performed a minute or so, sprecht-singing all eight parts.

The first words are: Cash for the merchandise/Cash for the buttonhooks, which sounds like the beginning of an ode to Broadway, 2014. Then he ushered out LL Cool J and TI, and all three of them rapped “Rock Island,” which sounded a lot like Sesame Street, 1995. It was funny and toothless. Much the same can be said for the most breathlessly upbeat Tony broadcast in memory. Almost nothing memorable happened over the course of just over three hours of good cheer.

Jackman looked somewhat raffish and ragged of beard, as though he was coming from an audition for a revival of Sunday In The Park With George.

First GOTHAM trailer is out!

By Armando

Fox has released the first trailer for the upcoming Batman prequel tv series “Gotham.” The original trailer just aired tonight during 24: Live Another Day, and this extended version released online.

The trailer shows us a glimpse of McKenzie as Gordon, as well David Mazouz as a young Bruce Wayne. “I promise you, I will find the man who did this,” says McKenzie’s Gordon as he consoles Bruce amid what seem to be an aftermath of the death of Wayne’s parents.

Although the show takes place before Wayne becomes The Dark Knight, the trailer shows a collage of younger versions of iconic Batman villains such as Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, and Poison Ivy early in their escapades.

Gotham stars Ben McKenzie in the lead role as Detective James Gordon, with Jada Pinkett Smith playing a gangster named Fish Mooney.

Gotham is scheduled to debut on Fox later this year.

Trailer: Jupiter Ascending is stunning

In an upcoming summer full of reboots and sequels comes the Wachowskis’ original sci-fi Jupiter Ascending.

This is the second trailer of the movie released by Warner Brothers. It fleshes out the story more than the trailer we saw last December, but also feels more of a focused attempt by the Wachowskis to go back to their mainstream roots than their last effort, Cloud Atlas.

Its ambitious, intriguing and action packed, with some of the most incredible visuals I have seen in a while, this movie ascends to top tier of movies I’m looking forward to the most this year.

Directors: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Writers: Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Stars: Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Douglas Booth
Release Date: 18 July 2014 (USA)

CinemaCon: Theatre Ad Sales Rise 6.5% To $678M In 2013 Following 2-Year Slump

Posted on by

By DAVID LIEBERMAN

This is the highest sales total that the Cinema Advertising Council has reported since it began keeping tabs in 2002 — and no doubt comes as a relief for the industry following a 1.2% downturn in 2012 and a 2.1% drop the year before. “This growth is a result of more new brands moving into cinema, the unique power of the movie theatre as a venue for creative, engaging advertising, and a movement by agencies to a more video-neutral approach that places cinema alongside TV and online platforms,” CAC President Katy Loria says.

“We are optimistic about this revenue momentum, and the direction the marketplace is headed with a strong start to 2014 as we enter upfront season.”

As expected, 12 Years A Slave won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday. But it was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity that took most of the trophies with seven including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.

It was also a good night for the low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club,”. Both of the movie’s stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won in their respective categories. In a remarkable career comeback, McConaughey won Best Actor for his role of an early AIDS activist Ron Woodroof, while co-star Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof’s sidekick.

In a night with few surprises, other top acting prizes include Cate Blanchett for “Blue Jasimine”, and Lupita Nyong’o for “12 Years a Slave”.
