MILLA JOVOVICH & FAMILY AT SANTA CLAUS PARADE

Milla Jovovich, Paul W. S. Anderson and Family in Toronto - November 2011

There is nothing "evil" about these current residents of Toronto at all!  Look how sweet Milla Jovovich looks together with her Daughter Ever and Husband Paul W.S. Anderson as they strolled through Yorkville yesterday to catch the Santa Claus Parade, an annual fixture in our City since 1905.

Jovovich who has been in Toronto since September to work on her latest collaboration with her Director/Husband Anderson - Resident Evil: Retribution - was seen out getting a tall-sized Coffee for herself at Starbucks.  The Model/Singer/Actress utilized the handy pockets of her over-sized Parka craftily to hold one of Ever's favourite Dolls.  The four year-old who recently celebrated her Birthday, had her hands full holding a Balloon she received at the Parade.  Mom & Dad also weren't shy about their affections as Onlookers around Avenue x Bloor got to witness the Couple leaning-in for a kiss.

Anderson and Jovovich's most recent collaboration The Three Musketeers (currently in theatres) might not have made a splash here domestically, but it fared v. well overseas and internationally it has pulled-in over $121 milllion. The possibility of a Sequel is still in discussions.

Resident Evil: Retribution wraps right before Christmas and so far we've had the pleasure of meeting Jovovich, Kevin Durand,  Bingbing Li, and Michelle Rodriguez from the good-looking Cast!

“PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3” TORTURES COMPETITION AND MOVIEGOERS AT BOX OFFICE

Still from Paranormal Activity 3

Exceeding all expectations, Paranormal Activity 3 makes an absolute killing - pardon the pun - at the Box Office this weekend.  The Film tortured Moviegoers and its Competitors to the tune of $54 million for Paramount Pictures. Produced only for $5 million, the Horror was a hit overseas also, taking-in $26 million there too. Overall, we are looking at $80 million worldwide for the latest in the critically and commercially successful installment of this Franchise.

Disney is still going strong with Real Steel in second spot, taking-in $11 million in its third week, now accumulating $67 million total domestically and over $153 million worldwide. Footloose (2011) in its second weekend earns $10.8 million, good enough to keep it in third, now totaling $36 million worldwide for Paramount also.

The Three Musketeers, the big-budget first installment of the forthcoming series, earns $8.8 million in fourth spot domestically, which might seem disappointing.  Overseas though, it has performed quite well, earning $64.4 million already.

The Ides of March still is going steady for Sony Pictures and Alliance Films, taking-in $4.9 million this weekend in its third week, now earning $29.1 million; it has yet to open overseas.

Johnny English Reborn starring Rowan Atkinson is the latest follow-up in the Action-Comedy franchise.  Despite only debuting in eighth with $3.8 million this weekend, it has done extremely well overseas where it has made $104.5 million already. Meanwhile, The Thing (2011) slips to ninth in its second week with $3.1 million for Universal Pictures, earning $14 million total.

MILLA JOVOVICH IN TORONTO FOR "RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION"

Milla Jovovich & Mr. Will-W.

Fresh-faced after a flight across the Atlantic, Milla Jovovich is now back in Toronto and ready to begin filming the fifth installment of the popular Resident Evil series next week, reprising her role as Alice.  

The versatile Actress spent the past few days in London promoting her Husband Paul W.S. Anderson's latest film, The Three Musketeers which boasts an All-star Cast including herself, Oscar Winner Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, Mads Mikkelsen, Juno Temple and Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman.

Holding a Carry-on from Harrods, Jovovich was kind enough to pose for a Photo after a long flight, arriving without her Husband today.  Prior to her London visit, she had been training aggressively in Toronto for the upcoming project for the past few weeks.   Her Cast mates for Resident Evil: Retribution are said to include Michelle Rodriguez, Wentworth Miller, Ali Larter and Kevin Durand.

In addition to The Three Musketeers, which hits theatres on October 21, 2011,  Jovovich also can be seen in the well-reviewed Dirty Girl - in which she stars alongside Temple again - in theatres October 7, 2011.  Both will be released by Alliance Films in Canada.  "Like" Alliance Films on Facebook to see Trailers for both Films.

They're back! Resident Evil stars Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter and Sienna Guillory are rumoured to be coming back to Toronto for the upcoming fifth installment of largely successful franchise Resident Evil, which has grossed $674 million worldwide to-date.

As some of you may recall, filming on three of the four prior films had at some point taken place in the City.

Sony Pictures already has slotted a September 14, 2012 release date for the Film, so Production and Post-Production likely will be fast and furious!  More details to come on this...  (Thanks Jason!)

Jovovich also can be seen in The Three Musketeers alongside Mads Mikkelsen, Juno Temple, Orlando Bloom, Til Schweiger and Christoph Waltz.  Alliance Films will be releasing in Canada on October 14, 2011.
