Box Office: Angelina Jolie’s ‘Maleficent’ Targets $60 Million-Plus Opening

The Angelina Jolie-starrer “Maleficent” looks to be beneficent for Disney at the box office.The live-action “Sleeping Beauty” reboot is on track to open to north of $60 million on May 30, according to early estimates. The $175 million-plus production needs to do strong business overseas to see a profit.“Maleficent” comes on the heels of “Frozen’s” mega success and thereby revived interest in Disney princess movies. It also follows several other Disney re-imaginings: 2010′s “Alice in Wonderland” and last year’s “Oz The Great and Powerful.” Both of those movies were box office hits, although “Oz” underperformed overseas. “Maleficent” would need to match “Oz’s” $493 million worldwide cume to make an impact.Meanwhile, “Alice in Wonderland” bowed to a record-breaking $116 million and went on to haul over $1 billion worldwide. But that VFX-heavy Disney fantasy pic was bolstered by the brand value of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.Although Jolie has star power, it hasn’t translated to box office gold for quite some time. She’ll be back in front of the camera after taking time off from acting to focus on directing. Her last two starring roles in 2010′s “Salt” and “The Tourist” (co-starring Depp post-”Alice in Wonderland”) both disappointed financially.Jolie’s startling transformation into the titular evil fairy who places the sleeping curse on princess Aurora (whose younger version is played by Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne) has generated much buzz throughout the promotional campaign.
The bigscreen fairytale adaptation co-stars Elle Fanning (the older Aurora), Sharlto Copley and Juno Temple.“Maleficent” director Robert Stromberg was partly responsible for “Alice” and “Oz’s” success as their production designer, but he’s new to the directing world. Stromberg will make his directorial debut after stepped in to replace Burton, who left the helm because of scheduling conflicts.Unlike “Alice” and “Oz,” which launched in the less crowded month of March, “Maleficent” faces off against several summer blockbusters. It’s opening on the same day as Seth MacFarlane’s “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Even though MacFarlane’s R-rated pic appeals to a different audience than the PG movie, “Million Ways to Die” could reach a wider-than-anticipated audience following the success of “Ted.”Disney also faces heavy competition from Fox as “Maleficent” is bowing a week after “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and a week before Shailene Woodley’s “The Fault in Our Stars.” “Godzilla,” which had the year’s second largest opening, will likely still be making a killing then.“Maleficent” seems to be more on par with Universal’s summer blockbuster “Snow White and the Huntsman,” which opened to $56 million on the same weekend in 2012 and earned $397 worldwide. Like “Maleficent,” the $170-million production told a classic Disney tale through from the female villain’s point of view.The film has a day-and-date release in most major territories, but won’t bow in India, Japan or Mexico until early July. It will be released in the U.K. and Italy on May 28 — two days ahead of its U.S. launch.

President Angie and First Gentleman Brad? Longtime humanitarian and actress Angelina Jolie has long been asked about her political ambitions, and the question came up again during a recent Good Morning America interview with George Stephanopoulos. The anchor recalled the Maleficent star telling him in 2005 that she had too many skeletons in her closet."I wonder if by now my skeletons are out?" Jolie said laughing. "They're probably all out. I don't know if I have any left!" The mother of six with longtime partner Brad Pitt does admit to having interest in holding office, but only in the right conditions. "If I thought I'd be effective, I would," she continued. "But I'm not sure if I'd ever be taken seriously in that way and be able to be effective." Jolie has taken numerous trips abroad for humanitarian work, spent more than a decade as the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees before being promoted to Special Envoy, and has adopted three of her six children from developing nations.

When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult.

She may be playing 'Mistress of Evil' in her new Disney epic, Maleficent, but Angelina Jolie proved she is the queen of chic as she attended a photocall in Los Angeles on Wednesday.The 38-year-old actress kept things simple but classy as she wore an A-line black mini dress with lace detailing.With her famous beauty highlighted with a hint of make-up, the actress completed her ensemble with black Christina Louboutin shoes with curved horn heels reminiscent of her character's two-horned appearance.The shoes have been a staple feature as she promotes the film which is an 'reimagining' of the classic 1959 Disney cartoon film exploring the untold story of the iconic villain incorporating elements of the betrayal which turned her heart to stone.Her brunette locks were styled into natural waves and she accesorised with a few small items of jewelry.Her demure ensemble is a far cry from the more racy styles she used to wear when she was seen as the wild child of cinema.And the actress revealed that it is only now that, as she releases her family friendly film, that she realised just how racy her movie history is.
Speaking to the MailOnline, she admitted: ‘I didn’t realise how many films I made that my kids can’t see until I did this!’‘Now I realise which ones but yes it’s been so much fun to have something like this coming out where the kids are so excited and can come see it and they loved to be on set and they played in the fairy mound and they loved meeting Elle (Fanning) and Prince Charming and hanging out and Diaval.’She added: ‘So it was like just sharing this play time, which is of course what I do for a living but when it comes down to this level and this world, you can really share it with your kids and it was the greatest.‘Maleficent, which portrays the story of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the antagonist, is extra special for Angelina as it stars her daughter Vivienne as a young Aurora.Speaking to the MailOnline about starring alongside one of her children, she shared: ‘It was great. 'I only put her in the film because the other children her age would be scared of me because I looked quite scary dressed as Maleficent and in the scene little Aurora has to really want to be near me and be loving to me and I have to be quite mean.‘So Vivienne and I practised it a few times. I was actually shocked at how well she did.'
