Just how big of a hit was Ted?

Well, short answer… huuuuuuuuuuuge.

Since opening in late June, the $50 million-budgeted R-rated comedy has grossed more than $450 million worldwide. Its onscreen leading man has proven he’s not only a “tough guy,” but a deft comic who can scrap with either Will Ferrell — in 2010′s The Other Guys — or a foul-mouthed teddy bear. And its offscreen leading man, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, is hosting the Oscars. So, long answer to, “How big of a hit was Ted?: Friggin’ huuuuuuuuuuuge.

But before the inevitable sequel, before the Oscars… heck before the season finale of The Cleveland Show, Ted is coming to Blu-ray and DVD. Universal officially announced today that the year’s No. 1 comedy will be released on Dec. 11 (with the rare extended unrated version that might actually deliver the naughty.)

'Oz the Great and Powerful' Comic-Con Panel: No ruby slippers, but a green Mila Kunis? -- TRAILER

Tags: , , , , , ,

The Project: Oz the Great and the Powerful, a prequel where the wonderful wizard (James Franco) isn’t such a great guy.

He’s a con artist who gets swept away to that magical land and crosses paths with three witches: good Glinda (Michelle Williams), naïve Theodora (Mila Kunis) and more dubious Evanora (Rachel Weisz.)

The Panel: Director Sam Raimi, Kunis and Williams. The Nerdist’s Chris Hardwick moderated.

The Big Revelations: We see Glinda, Theodora, and Evanora in the normal hues of the actresses — but the final shot is of a bright green claw scratching lines in a table top.

Somebody goes green — and once you go green, you apparently go mean.

Check out the footage after the jump!

Mila Kunis on Seth MacFarlane's 'Ted,' 'Oz: The Great and Powerful,' and the joys of 'poo-fart' humor

If you’ve seen the hilarious (and very R-rated) red-band trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s first feature film, Ted (out July 13), you have some idea of what kind of craziness you’re in for with this talking-teddy-bear comedy. Mark Wahlberg stars as a guy whose stuffed bear (voiced and motion-capture acted by MacFarlane) magically came to life when he was a kid, then just…stuck around. They’re still best pals, but the bear — now a foul-mouthed, pot-smoking layabout — is starting to get in the way of his life. We recently talked to Mila Kunis, who plays Wahlberg’s character’s put-upon girlfriend, about the movie, as well as next year’s much-anticipated, Sam Raimi-directed Wizard of Oz prequel, Oz: The Great and Powerful, in which she plays a witch.

– Kunis is the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy, and she and MacFarlane have collaborated for years. But don’t expect their previous work to trickle into Ted: Kunis’ character is decidedly un-Meg-like. “She’s nothing like Meg,” Kunis says with a laugh. “I don’t know how many characters really are exactly like Meg. My character’s got her life together. She’s got a pretty great job. She wants Mark’s character to kind of grow up and man up and be with her. She’s a woman in her late 20s who knows what she wants out of life and desperately wants her boyfriend to be in her life with her in the same way.”

– MacFarlane fans eager to experience his humor undiluted by the constraints of TV will probably not be disappointed. READ FULL STORY »

Disney's D23: Look behind the curtain at 'Oz: The Great and Powerful'

Oz: The Great and Powerful isn’t just walking the yellow brick road — it’s walking a delicate line.

Playing off a beloved, classic movie is a dangerous game. On one hand, you’ve got a built-in audience who cares deeply about the original. On the other, those fans are even quicker to turn on you if they feel the new film doesn’t live up the one they’re so passionate about.

The teaser footage revealed at Disney’s D23 fan gathering begins “Before a house fell out of the sky… ” and it seems to mirror 1939’s The Wizard of Oz in multiple ways, not the least of which is the apparent use of grainy black-and-white film stock for the bookending “real world” scenes of James Franco’s young would-be wizard.

Sam Raimi’s movie, which started shooting in soundstages in Detroit on July 21, and is aiming for a March 2013 debut, is clearly trying to draw on fond memories of Judy Garland’s film version of Frank L. Baum’s fantasy story, while also trying to leapfrog it with a prequel story.

“While there have been movies and stage plays based on the series, one story has been left untold,” Sean Bailey, Disney’s head of production, told the crowd. “Who is the wizard and where did he come from?”

Or as Franco paradoxically put it: “We’re stepping into a great tradition, but a tradition that isn’t fully established yet.”

While the images and footage haven’t been released, here’s what those of us at the presentation saw …
