25% Comes From Imax Theaters Tron: Legacy crossed the $100 million mark at the domestic box office on Tuesday. The movie, budgeted at $170 million, which has been in U.S. theaters for 12 days, has also made around $75 million overseas. The most interesting note about the domestic number is that almost a quarter of the box office receipts -- about $25 million -- are from IMAX theaters . Tron is playing in 3,451 theaters across Canada and the U.S., with only 235 of those being IMAX houses. For that low count to generate 25% of the gross is astonishing. And a record proportion for IMAX. Read more after the Jump.. But while that is good news for IMAX, it’s not necessarily good news for Disney. IMAX filmgoers tend to be in the 15 to 34-year-old demo and are -- how shall I put it? -- geekier than the average person. So the numbers reveal that while the tentpole is performing solidly in its core demo, it’s ability to break out into a broader audience might remain a bit elusive, despit

In Suspended Animation Fans of Jack Bauer who were hoping to get a big screen fix of their favorite anti-hero may be in for a long wait: EW has learned exclusively that 20th Century Fox has nixed a script from Billy Ray (State of Play) that would have continued the storyline of the rogue CTU agent from the long-running drama 24. “As far as I know, it is in suspended animation,” Howard Gordon, the longtime executive producer of 24 who is also expected to produce the big screen version,  ”There is talk about re-approaching it. I understand (director/producer) Tony Scott is meeting with Kiefer to talk about ideas. People are still talking about it.” When 24 ended its eight-year run on Fox in May, Sutherland told EW the series finale would tee up the movie. “We wanted to create a definitive end for Jack Bauer,” the actor explained. “Since we do have the intention to make the feature film, it would lead into that and certainly set that up.

Show Will Return Cartoon Network's " Young Justice" will premiere on Jan. 7. The show about DC Comics sidekicks launched with a movie event in November. Look for new episodes to air Fridays at 7PM. On November 26, 2010, the Young Justice animated television series pilot aired on Cartoon Network, featuring teenaged superhero sidekicks who are members of a fictional covert operation team under the authority of the Justice League called Young Justice. The season will officially continue in January 2011.

4 New Korean Posters  If the idea of Seth Rogen as a superhero still sounds a little goofy to you, and the recent clips didn't win you over, then maybe these four new posters will change your mind. You won't be seeing any posters exactly like this in your local theater, as they were created for a Korean marketing campaign, but they do manage to make Rogen look more like a hero than the star of a slacker comedy. Which should give us all hope. Check them out after the Jump.. The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry, will hit theaters Jan. 14, 2011.

Stone & LaBeouf To Reunite For The Movie Director Oliver Stone revealed in his commentary track on the Blu-ray release of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps that he and that film's young lead, Shia LaBeouf , have discussed reuniting for Pinkville , a Vietnam War investigative drama about the My Lai massacre of March 1968 . Stone said that he and LaBeouf discussed reteaming for Pinkville while they were making the Wall Street sequel. According to the helmer, LaBeouf is interesting in exploring the subject matter because his father was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Pinkville was set to begin filming in Southeast Asia in December 2007, but was shelved at the 11th hour due to the then-impending Writers Guild strike. Stone had assembled a cast that included Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Michael Pena, Woody Harrelson, Xzibit, Michael Pitt, Toby Jones, Jason Behr and Cam Gigandet . Given his age and his dad's role in the war, it seems likely that LaBeouf would want to play H

Wrestling Just Ain't The Same As 2011 quickly approaches, it's time to reflect on the 10 biggest pro wrestling stories of 2010. 1. Shawn Michaels retires : His body battered after 26 years inside the ring, Michaels decided to call it a career. But before leaving World Wrestling Entertainment, the 45-year-old Michaels turned in one final performance worth remembering: a fabulous headline bout last April against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26. Unlike Ric Flair, another grappling legend who resurfaced in 2010, Michaels actually seems committed to staying out of action. Michaels could return as a guest referee for Wrestlemania 27 provided The Undertaker is able to wrestle following recent rotator cuff surgery. Read more after Jump.. 2.

Just Amazing This video compilation was created by video editor Leandro Copperfield who spent 11 days at Pixar Animation Studios re-watching all of their feature films. He then selected more than 500 scenes, and edited them together creating this 7-minute tribute video called The Beauty of Pixar .
