The gallery has been updated with screencaptures from the Sucker Punch and Limitless R2 DVD special features. Unfortunately the Sucker Punch DVD release leaves much to be desired when it comes to features while Limitless does come with quite a few featurettes – but they mainly focus on Bradley Cooper and his character. Never the less, the few screencaptures featuring Abbie Cornish are now available for your viewing pleasure.

700+ Blu-ray quality screencaptures have been uploaded of Abbie’s performance as Lindy in Neil Burger’s Limitless.

My thoughts regarding the film strongly echo Mycah’s review, which you can read on the film page by clicking on the link above. Namely, that Abbie does her best with the given material, despite the small role and rather underdeveloped character. To me Lindy is the heart of the movie and really the only character that I cared for. Ultimately, it’s a forgettable role that Abbie did not necessarily need to take on, especially following her performance in Bright Star. She is too strong an actress for such a simple role.

Still, the screencaptures are really gorgeous and Abbie looks stunning in every frame, so do have a look!

Fox 2000′s sequel Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules easily won the weekend box office race, grossing a hearty $24.4 million and delivering Fox a new franchise. Warner Bros.’ Sucker Punch wasn’t as lucky, grossing $19 million in a soft start for the femme powered action-fantasy, from director Zack Snyder.

Rodrick Rules, based on the beloved childrens’ book series and playing in 3,167 theaters, came in ahead of the original Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which opened a year ago to $22.1 million. Its standout performance reinforces the success that family films can enjoy, even while the rest of the box office suffers.

Sucker Punch, costing at least $75 million to produce, was co-financed by Warners and Legendary Pictures. Internally, Warners had expected the fanboy pic — about a rough-and-tumble group of girls trying to escape from a mental institution — to clear $20 million.

Snyder is incredibly important to Warners, having now directed four films for the studio. His 300 was by far the most successful. Next up for the filmmaker: Superman: Man of Steel.

Warners exec vice president of distribution Jeff Goldstein said Snyder’s core followers turned out for Sucker Punch, but beyond that, the film wasn’t as broad as his other movies. The movie opened in 3,033 theaters.

“Sucker Punch was more narrow. But when you are talking about something as broad as Superman: Man of Steel, the support for Snyder will be colossal,” Goldstein said.

Males made up almost 65% of those buying tickets for Sucker Punch, while a majority of the audience was between the ages of 18 and 35. If any key demo was soft, it was teen boys.
