In other words, Secret Cinema grew the audience. Such calculations make a partnership with the event an attractive option for distributors in the future. Next from the energetic multi-hyphenate: wedding-themed comedy The Knot, due in October.
Some nice weekend weather will have dented these numbers, but since Friends with Kids and Storage 24 landed in lowly seventh and 12th place, cinemagoers were clearly expressing other preferences at their local theatres. Released on fewer screens, and with an even weaker average, is Joyful Noise , starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton.
With a gospel choir storyline, this was always going to be a tough sell to UK audiences, and it's fair to say that distributor Warner Bros didn't exactly bet the farm on the marketing push.
If you fancy seeing it, don't dally. Since the jubilee holiday a month ago, successive weekends in June have seen a dearth of commercially appealing new releases, with distributors reluctant to risk expensive blockbusters in competition with international football.
Gutt, in anger, quickly turns a new iceberg into a ship which he later calls Sweet Revenge , propelled by narwhals, and chases Manny's gang, determined to get revenge.
Meanwhile, Peaches has been still hanging with Ethan and a group of teenage mammoths The Brat Pack , but after realizing that they don't care about the danger and thinking that being a best friend with a molehog is ridiculous, she leaves them and returns to Louis. Meanwhile, Manny, Sid, Granny, and Diego encounter Sirens , depicted as sharp-toothed creatures who take the shape of loved ones and attempt to lure the sailors. Fortunately, Manny realizes this and manages to steer the ship away from the sirens.
Later, Scrat meets a siren, which uses the shape of his former girlfriend from the third film, Scratte , to attempt to lure him. When this fails, the siren takes the shape of an acorn, causing Scrat to run up and hug it. The siren changes back and attacks Scrat, but he gets away. The next morning, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Granny finally reach home, but, much to their horror, find out that Gutt and his pirate gang had beaten them to it and captured Ellie and Peaches. Diego also notices that Shira appears injured, possibly from Gutt due to her betrayal and change of allegiance.
Manny attempts to turn himself in to Gutt in exchange for releasing his family, but Gutt doesn't keep his side of the bargain and prepares to kill the family. However, Louis come to rescue, starts a battle, during which Shira joins them, and Granny's presumed imaginary pet Precious , a large sperm whale a Livyatan melvillei , appears, defeating the pirates.
Peaches rescues Ellie, but as they are about to escape, Gutt attacks Manny again. Gutt and Manny engage in a final fight, but Manny manages to defeat him. Manny arrives in time to pick up Ellie and Peaches, who are caught between the moving landmass and the ocean at the location where the land bridge once existed.
Meanwhile, Gutt is presumably killed when he ends up being attacked by a siren, taking on the shape of a female of his species. After sailing over the ocean, the herd and all the animals find a new home. Manny and Peaches embraced and reconciled, Manny finally admits that Sid is not the screw-up after all, but a hero, Shira joins the herd and becomes Diego's girlfriend, while Louis is finally allowed to still be with Peaches whenever she hangs out with Ethan's gang.
The film ends with Scrat finally reaching the island on the map, Scratlantis a Scrat version of Atlantis , a floating city filled with other sabre-toothed squirrels and nuts. But because of his nut obsession, Scrat grabs many nuts in a frenzy and sooner or later, he tries to grab a giant one blocking a hole. He grabs it, despite the sabre-toothed squirrel leader's warnings, causing the city to sink to the bottom of the ocean, leaving Scrat in the middle of a newly-created land: the desert, known as Death Valley.
For the finale, Scrat's eyes burn, and he screams in pain and frustration, ending the film. The first details of the film were revealed on January 10, when The New York Times reported that Blue Sky was working on a fourth film, and was in negotiations with the voice cast. Lori Forte also came back to produce the movie. Ari Rubenstein is the lead compositor of the movie. An official screenshot from the teaser trailer of Ice Age: Continental Drift was released January 6, on examiner.
An official trailer was released on March 5, Reviews were generally mixed from critics. Audiences were polarized by the film. It was always tricky to predict how this film would pan out, since the date-movie market is so critical to the success of any film that isn't targeting families, and straight men may have proved resistant to a film about male strippers. Lionsgate's bus sides with their "Hello girls" tagline seemed to indicate that groups of women, rather than couples, were the envisioned audience.
While women of all ages certainly represent a massive target, and are much more likely than men to see a film in a same-gender grouping, the success of the film on Friday and Saturday night suggests it is also snagging the lucrative date-night audience.
The Informant! With the Olympics dominating the national conversation, the timing could not have been better for the multiple Oscar winner, but audiences don't appear to have been engaged.
