Maleficent has apparently started filming. Elle Fanning ΣLLΣ FΔ∏∏I∏G
Maleficent's start had earlier been listed as June 6 (People) or June 11 (casting call). They obviously worked hard to start it early which probably explains her absence in Cannes.

A welcome offshoot of SWATH's solid start is that we won't have to read pronouncements that audiences are not interested in fairy tale re-imaginings. While both SWATH & Maleficent draw inspiration from classical fairy tales, they are very different films and the performance of one has no bearing on the other. SWATH has a dark and grim LOTR-esque look and story that's not likely to appeal to children while Maleficent is setting up to be a quintessential Disney family film. But movie writers frequently love to make sweeping statements and this will at least silence one line of attack.

‘Snow White’ $55.8M Domestic Breaks Box Office Slump: $95.1M Global; ‘Prometheus’ On Fire In UK Ahead Of Domestic Opening
SATURDAY AM, 5TH UPDATE: My sources now say Universal’s #1 film Snow White And The Huntsman (3,773 theaters) came in at $20.3M Friday
and $55.8M for this domestic weekend. That result is better than
expected for the 2D original fantasy actioner that cost $172M and didn’t
have the benefit of a 3D premium or franchise recognition. Despite
decent reviews, audiences gave the PG-13 movie a so-so ‘B’ CinemaScore
which may affect word of mouth. Still, there’s a palpable sense of
relief around Universal Pictures and even Hollywood now that the
Charlize Theron-Kristen Stewart-Chris Hemsworth starrer directed by
first-timer Rupert Sanders and produced by Joe Roth is showing promise
at the domestic box office. Because it follows on the heels of May’s
very disappointing domestic on Universal’s Battleship and April’s The Five Year Engagement – two films specifically criticized by parent company Comcast chief Brian Roberts today to Wall Street as big “misses” affecting earnings.
My sources say that overseas Snow White
opened in 45 territories and was the #1 movie in 30 territories
and especially strong in Latin America and Asia. It will gross $39.3M
this weekend, which is on a par with The Hunger Games’ $38M and better than Twilight‘s $30M, for a $95.1M worldwide cume. Highlights include Mexico ($1M at 588 dates and 48% market share), Spain ($900K at 393 dates and 51% market share), Germany ($1.5M at 618 dates in 2 days), UK ($1M at 476 dates and with previews total is $2.6M (where the movie was overwhelmed by Fox’s Prometheus. See below). ”The
UK has two national holidays and school holidays next week and 5 weeks
as counter-programming to the Euro Cup, so we expect the film to have a
long run,” a Uni exec emailed me. Snow White has 18 territories including Australia, France, Italy, Japan and Russia to open over the next two months. It’s now safe to say that Snow White
is breaking the post-Avengers early summer slump which has claimed 5
straight major studio releases so far because the Marvel
mega-blockbuster was sucking all the air out of domestic box office.
Insiders now expect the movie’s international cume to ultimately earn
$250M-$275M all-in. “We’ll make money with the movie which we really
care about. No one can rag us this week,” a Uni exec said to me this
morning.Karris Mills
Is Mindy Cohn godmother to Brangelina's brood? Facts Of Life star kept mum when grilled during TV interview
By Iona Kirby|
It was reported two years ago that Facts of Life star Mindy Cohn had formed an unlikely friendship with the hottest couple in Hollywood - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
But the actress has refused to answer whether or not she is godmother to the pair's six children.
The 46-year-old was grilled by Andy Cohen over the matter when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live.

Mindy squirmed somewhat under the spotlight but kept her cool enough not to give the game away.
It was reported back in 2010 that Mindy and the movie star couple had formed a close bond.
Under wraps: Mindy refused to answer the question during a game of Plead The Fifth

And their friendship reportedly doesn't stop at Mindy being a good role model to their children.
Brad and Angelina apparently gave the Eighties sitcom star a 'huge' diamond ring to thank her.

The source added: 'She said she visits [the Jolie-Pitts] wherever they go. They pay for her airline ticket.'
Brad and Angelina are parents to Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, seven, Shiloh, six, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
