Battleship | featured news

In my “Battleship” article, I wrote that a Universal exec or two will probably have to resign if “Snow White and The Hunstman” didn’t perform up to expectations because of how poorly the ultra expensive “Battleship” have done at the box office recently.

"Hunger Games" becomes the first film since "Avatar" to spend four straight weekends at No. 1, while fellow Lionsgate pic "Cabin in the Woods" opens third with $14.9 million; "Battleship" Beat Overseas by "Titanic 3D" in surprise upset.

Battleship was the first movie trailer out of the gate during Super Bowl 46 but it sets the bar high from the get go. At 1 minute long, the Battleship trailer transformed me from a skeptic into a believer. The movie has transforming robots (and who doesn't like transforming robots?), alien creatures, and promises of mass mayhem all in the name of entertainment. Earth's only hope against these alien invaders and superior technology is this lone battleship and her crew somewhere out in the big blue sea.

Rihanna will make her acting debut in Battleship! We all remember how fun the board game Battleship was when we were kids -- even for girls! Looks like Rihanna agrees, as she's about to star in the game-turned-movie alongside Alexander Skarsgard...sunk!
