“The Marvels” narrowly missed the top spot at the mainland China box office on its opening weekend. And its debut was far short of its blockbuster predecessor.
Data from consultancy firm Artisan Gateway shows “The Marvels” earning RMB82.7 million or $11.5 million between Friday and Sunday in Chinese cinemas. Of that some $2 million or 17%, was earned in Imax theaters.
The film’s debut weekend haul was a fraction below the RMB84.2 million ($11.7 million) earned by Chinese film “Last Suspect” in its second weekend of release. Crime drama title, “Last Suspect” now has a cumulative of $51.5 million after ten days on release.
Figures for “The Marvels” compare badly with the $88.9 million earned by “Captain Marvel” when it opened in Chinese theaters in March 2019. Local ticketing service, Maoyan forecasts that “The Marvels” will have a career total of RMB152 million or $21 million in China. It opened poorly in other territories too.

Composers wear so many hats when composing and depending on what they’re writing for, whether it’s for episodic TV, film, or video games, it can be a juggling act to get the scores and themes just right. These artists painstakingly put care, effort and hours into what music will accompany the visuals on the little or big screen.
Composer Max Aruj is one such musician. Born and raised in Los Angeles, his previous release is Crawl, produced by Sam Raimi, and directed by Alexandre Aja and the video game Assassin’s Creed – Wrath of the Druids. Aruj recently composed the scores for Eytan Rockaway’s Lansky, in theaters, starring Harvey Keitel, and Jonathan Hensleigh’s The Ice Road, on Netflix, starring Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne, Amber Midthunder, Benjamin Walker, and Marcus Thomas.
Coincidentally both films were released on the same day, Friday June 25th.

In his 80 years, Meyer Lansky worked alongside the most notorious gangsters in American history. He spearheaded a worldwide gambling racket and allegedly had quite a few people murdered for getting in the way of his business. Lansky even worked with the U.S. Navy during World War II, protecting the ships in New York Harbor from spies and and sabotage.
No one can deny that Lansky led a fascinating life, even after watching Eytan Rockaway’s tedious biopic “Lansky,” which has more in common with a book report than an actual book. Writer-director Rockaway (“The Abandoned”) hits all the major bullet points in the gangster’s life but ignores almost all the connective tissue that would make this outline of intriguing anecdotes really come alive.
“Lansky” stars Harvey Keitel as the aging mobster, living out his last remaining years in Florida, dying of lung cancer well after the rest of his criminal contemporaries have been buried.

Location and setting are typically big contributors to a horror film’s success — an old, darkly-lit house is inherently creepier than a bright and newly-built high-rise (sorry Poltergeist 3) — and while a great setting is no guarantee of a great film it never hurts. The Abandoned (previously The Confines) takes that lesson to heart and delivers one of the year’s most effective and atmospheric haunted houses. Streak (Louisa Krause) is a young woman trying to move on from a rough past so she can regain custody of her daughter, and moving on includes showing financial stability. She starts a new job as overnight security for an empty apartment building — construction was never finished, and the floors were never occupied — and is partnered with a grumpy, wheelchair-bound prick named Cooper (Jason Patric) who resents her youth as much as he does her very presence. Her routine rounds reveal sights and sounds that both frighten and intrigue, but...

Looking to get her life back on track, desperate mom Streak (Louisa Krause) takes a job as an overnight security guard in a grand but abandoned (The Abandoned being the film’s original title) apartment complex. Trapped with no-one to talk to but asshole colleague Cooper (Jason Patric), Streak is in for a long night.
The awful company and terrible hours aren’t the only thing Streak has to worry about – there’s the sinister homeless guy, the CCTV not working properly and, well, whatever it is that’s lurking in the building’s corridors, stalking her and Cooper from the shadows. Already on edge, Streak is pushed to her limit and beyond by supernatural (?) terrors, both real and...

Devotedly committing to taking whatever means necessary to fulfill your dreams in life can be a terrifying prospect in life. The process can be even more daunting when your emotions are easily manipulated by the intimidating physical challenges that you’re forced to face along every step of the journey. That frightening situation of trying to overcome your fears as you try to achieve your goals is captivatingly presented in the new horror thriller, ‘The Abandoned.’ The film, which was released in select theaters and on VOD by IFC Midnight this weekend, marks the feature film directorial debut of filmmaker Eytan Rockaway. The movie not only intriguingly presents the horrifying obstacles [ Read More ]

It’s a shame when a film’s ending nullifies the preceding hour-plus worth of content, but such are my feelings on Eytan Rockaway’s The Abandoned. I was engaged for most of the its entirety, chilled by the stony isolation of a dilapidated luxury building. Atmosphere and tension go a long way towards the end of Act I and an eerily haunting Act II, but an Act III ending jumps into a realm that simply doesn’t have to be addressed. There’s an extension into a more personal story, one that throws away horror for something more human – more affecting – yet it’s one of the film’s major downfalls. Rockaway pulls the rug out from unsuspecting horror fans in this moment, jumping ship in a way that’s neither emotional, nor powerfully satisfying.

Be Afraid of the Dark: Rockaway’s Familiar Debut Enhanced by Atmospheric Locale
Director Eytan Rockaway makes his directorial debut with the claustrophobic single set horror film The Abandoned (initially titled The Confines). Apart from its undistinguished title already being similar to a 2002 Katie Holmes flick and a 2006 Nacho Cerda thriller, Rockaway adapts from a story co-written by Ido Fluk, a narrative determined exclusively by its impressive venue, a discarded luxury apartment house complex. Though the film features uncustomarily polished performances for an indie horror feature from its two known lead performers, their energy only lasts so long in yet another dwindling account of wayward supernatural forces terrorizing protagonists for vague, unexplained reasons until its final, elucidating frames.

*an online screener of this film was provided by the director, Eytan Rockaway. *there are spoilers here. Director: Eytan Rockaway. Writers: Ido Fluk and Eytan Rockaway. Cast: Jason Patric, Louisa Krause and Mark Margolis. The Confines is a film from C+ Pictures. Developed by writer Ido Fluk, the film is a sightseeing adventure through the protagonist's tormented mind. And, some of these horrifying sights cannot be unseen. This title recently had a showing at the La Film Festival and this reviewer was offered an early look. Steeped in tragedy, The Confines creates a creepy tone, in an abandoned building. Similar to The Shining, a central character must confront a mystery, which resides just off screen and within the building's walls. Also, the film highlights some of the strange things which can occur during the witching hour. And, the film's finale offers a surprise twist, which is adequately set up. Overall,...

Receiving its world premiere last week at the 2015 La FilmFest The Confines is one helluva taught thriller. Streak (Louisa Krause) is a young mother who takes a job as a nighttime security guard at a sprawling aged and deserted billionaire home which was never completed (think a more opulent and enormous Winchester House). The place is covered with security cameras so only she and one other person in this case Cooper (Jason Patric) are required to complete this job. Hes a bitter old curmudgeon with a tragic history to play opposite Krauses young beauty certainly not without her own problems. This job is her last chance to find employment before her child is whisked away into the foster system. In other words this...

In The Confines, co-writer and director Eytan Rockaway takes viewers into the most unsettling parts of their imaginations with his intense psychological thriller that co-stars Louise Krause (Ava’s Possessions) and Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Narc). Rather than give us another standard spookfest, Rockaway uses his story as a metaphor for something bigger, and the result is an effectively creepy tale that utilizes its tenebrous atmosphere and brilliant cast to its fullest.
The Confines follows Streak (Krause), a troubled woman trying to turn her life around in an attempt to keep custody of her daughter. She takes on a nighttime security position at an abandoned building where she is tasked with keeping things running smoothly alongside her new co-worker, Cooper (Patric). Things start off well enough, but as you may have suspected, there’s more than meets the eye at Streak’s new job once she discovers there may...

Over the weekend, first-time feature filmmaker Eytan Rockaway celebrated the premiere of his supernaturally-infused psychological thriller, The Confines, at the 2015 Los Angeles Film Festival. Co-starring Louisa Krause (who recently appeared in the SXSW selection Ava’s Possessions) and Jason Patric (The Lost Boys, Narc), the film follows a young woman who takes on an overnight security job in an attempt at some normalcy in her life; unfortunately, the building she’s overseeing has a sinister past and soon she’s struggling to figure out what’s real and what’s just a figment of her fractured imagination.
During the Fest, Daily Dead had the chance to sit down and speak with Rockaway about what inspired the film, working with both Krause and Patric on The Confines, and his experiences helming a feature for the first time ever.

It has been over a year since any news has emerged for the psychological thriller The Confines.

For more on the story, two security guards work through the night shift. But, something haunts this luxury apartment building. Streak (Krause), a rookie on the job, begins to see bizarre things in the hallways and in the basement.

Whether you are a filmmaker, or one of the Sundance programmers whose task it is to identify the films that make up a line-up, it is indeed the most wonderful, panic-filled and nerve racking time of the year. The 31st edition of the Sundance Film Festival kicks off on January 22nd with Park City and Salt Lake City playing host to some of the more innovative, thought-provoking narrative and non-fiction films of 2015. Last year, a Jenga tall order of 4,057 features and 8,161 shorts were submitted. Now let’s think about those numbers for a second.
Twenty years ago, Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb claimed the Grand Jury Prize Documentary award, Living in Oblivion‘s Tom Dicillo was honored with the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and Edward Burns’ micro-budgeted The Brothers McMullen (there is a read-worthy, lively, eleventh hour account on how it was submitted to the fest in Ted Hope’s “Hope...

With a small body of work including his low-budgeted directorial debut (Never Too Late) which orbited around the Fribourg and Edinburgh Film Festivals and garnered some buzz (insider industry type), the Israeli-born/NYC-based/Tisch grad helmer Ido Fluk managed to lasso one of the hot ticket actors of this past Sundance edition in The Guest star, Dan Stevens. Fluk’s sophomore feature gig also includes Malin Akerman, Kerry Bishé, and Oliver Platt (who we should add, is about to have an incredible 2015). Fluk co-wrote The Confines (another presumed 2015 title) and began filming on The Ticket this past August in upstate New York. So technically they’ll have had to package a rough cut if submitted the film to Sundance, and worth noting is two key ingredients: filmmaker Oren Moverman, is the film’s producer and on the tech side, we find camera work of Zachary Galler, who showed his skillset...
