Critics Consensus: The Grey is Certified Fresh

While the world of filmdom trains its sights on the Sundance Film Festival this week, there are plenty of diversions in multiplexes for those of us who couldn’t make the trek to Park City. We’ve got a snowy survival story (The Grey, starring Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney), a twisty heist thriller (Man on a Ledge, starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks), and the tale of a sassy bounty hunter (One For the Money, starring Katherine Heigl and Jason O’Mara). (Incidentally, the latter two films are being released, respectively, by Lions Gate and its recently acquired subsidiary, Summit Entertainment). Find out what the critics have to say!

Box Office Guru Wrapup: Underworld Awakens in #1 Spot

Three new action films attacked the North American box office but the futuristic vampire thriller Underworld: Awakening and the World War II-set fighter pilot pic Red Tails led the way with each generating a solid debut. The modern-day assassin flick Haywire was met with more modest results as was the nationwide expansion of the Tom Hanks-Sandra Bullock drama Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close which both settled into the top five. Overall business was affected somewhat by snowstorms in the midwest and east and Sunday grosses are expected to take a hit from the NFL conference championship games, especially male-skewing action flicks. But the marketplace showed remarkable growth over last year when the box office was in a downturn with weak films.
