Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill's ‘Jump Street’ Sequel Faces Off With ‘Dragon 2' in Box-Office Nail-Biter
18 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
Give “How to Train Your Dragon 2” a slight edge over “22 Jump Street” in what's shaping up as one of summer's most hotly contested and busiest weekends at the box office. The DreamWorks Animation sequel, distributed by Fox, and the buddy cop comedy follow-up starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill from Sony and MGM are both projected to top $55 million by analysts. The typically more conservative studios’ projections are more than $5 million under that, but it looks like both films will do enough business to knock reigning champ “The Fault in Our Stars” out of the top spot »

Digital-Video Advertising in U.S. to Hit $6 Bil in 2014, But It’s Not Displacing TV Dollars
15 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Ad spending on digital video will increase 41.9% this year in the U.S. — to reach $5.96 billion — but TV advertising will still outpace digital in actual dollar growth in 2014, according to a new study from eMarketer.
Other research has indicated TV advertising budgets will shift to Internet video. But per eMarketer’s forecasts, TV spending in the U.S. will continue to climb over the next five years, growing 3.3% in 2014 to $68.54 billion.
“Time spent with digital video is growing significantly, and it’s taking away some TV time,” eMarketer analyst David Hallerman said. “But given the diversity of placements and platforms, digital video viewers are more difficult for advertisers to target.”
While digital-video advertising is growing faster, marketers will allocate more additional dollars to TV – $2.19 billion more than 2013, compared with $1.76 billion in new dollars this year for digital video. That’s a trend eMarketer expects to continue through 2018.

'The Interview' trailer: Seth Rogen and James Franco plan to assassinate Kim Jong Un
19 minutes ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Seth Rogen and James Franco are trading the apocalypse for North Korea.
The duo’s latest comedy, The Interview, finds the stars playing a bumbling journalist (Franco) and his producer (Rogen). When it’s discovered that Kim Jong Un (Randall Park) is a fan of theirs, the two score an interview — but then the CIA asks them to assassinate Jong Un, a job they’re grossly unequipped to handle.
Some might think the goofy action-comedy’s plot sounds like an exaggerated version of what’s going on with Jong Un’s Bff Dennis Rodman. But as Franco previously explained, the »

A Field Guide to Tracking Bill Murray in the Wild
35 minutes ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
This post originally ran in October 2012. Bill Murray is the embodiment of the #Yolo phenomenon. A legend in his own right (see his work in Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Rushmore, Saturday Night Live, Caddyshack, Lost in Translation, etc.), the guy has made a habit of using his very public profile to gleefully mess with people. Urban folklore finds him showing up randomly, pulling stunts, and telling the starstruck that no one will believe their story, even if it shows up on a comprehensive blog recording that very same series of events. We at Vulture have done our research, setting out to find the perfect strategy to help you lure the Williamabus Murrayadon into your snare trap. Try any of these or all of them at the same time. Just get married. (Photo via fiaforever.com.) Or rather, simply have a bachelor party. Hate on the Green Bay packers, invite heckling. Attend »

22 Jump Street Review Roundup: Can Channing Tatum & Jonah Hill Pull Off a Sequel?
53 minutes ago | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill and everyone else involved with 22 Jump Street understand it's tough to pull off a good sequel. The difficulty of producing a non-terrible follow-up to 2012's 21 Jump Street is very much acknowledged in Channing and Jonah's latest flick, and they're definitely in on the joke! And while critics across the board seem to love the guys' bromance and onscreen chemistry, film reviewers are split as to whether 22 Jump Street is fresh enough to be worth a trip to the theater. USA Today's Claudia Puig, for example, praises Channing and Jonah as "deft physical comedians with spot-on timing," and while she finds 22 to be "an undeniably zany re-boot," she »
