Little Ashes, an indie starring Twilight star Robert Pattinson as Salvador Dali, won for Outstanding Film — Limited release.

Well, at least he still has his looks: Robert Pattinson’s first big non-”Twilight” film, “Remember Me,” had a dismal fourth place opening this weekend with $8.3 million in box-office sales (“Alice in Wonderland” remained No. 1 with $62 million, “Green Zone,” debuted at No. 2 with $14.5 million, “She’s Out of My League” was No. 3 with $9.6 million).

What gives? Does Pattinson’s rabid fan base (girls 16 and younger) not want to see him be just a mere mortal who doesn’t sparkle? Or should he have gone for more mainstream fare (a la Zac Efron in “17 Again”)? Is he just doomed to be Edward forever? Or are we just caring way too much because it makes us sad that no one seems to love him as much as we do?

Portraying brooding teen vampire Edward in 2008’s “Twilight” and 2009’s “New Moon” has earned Robert Pattinson a rabid female fan base who probably care less about his thespian abilities and more about his hair and porcelain skin. Let’s face it—as popular as those pictures are (and I do not wager to understand the popularity of something that sets the women’s rights movement back sixty years), they don’t require much from Pattinson other than sulky good looks. With any luck, the actor’s naysayers will be silenced after they take a gander at his convincing, even magnetic work in “Remember Me,” a romantic drama more interested in character nuance than story innovation. Director Allen Coulter (2006’s “Hollywoodland”) brings little style or technical panache to his gritty filmmaking, allowing the cast to do the talking and trusting that they will be able to carry the proceedings to their somewhat startling conclusion. They do, indeed, but their handle of the material does not stop things from concurrently becoming a bit visually stale.

Tyler Hawkins (Robert Pattinson) works at a college library and sits in on classes as he edges his way toward his twenty-second birthday—the very age of his older brother when he took his own life six years prior. Ally Craig (Emilie de Ravin) shares a class with Tyler, as well as her own tragedy from the past: she witnessed her mother get gunned down on a Brooklyn subway platform ten years ago. An altercation with Ally’s cop father Sgt. Neil Craig (Chris Cooper), a resulting arrest, and the nudging of best friend Aidan (Tate Ellington) lead Tyler to seek out Ally. At first cautious of starting a relationship, Ally soon gives in to her feelings for Tyler, a very possible kindred spirit. As he tries to come to terms with his brother’s suicide and the state of his family—hotshot businessman father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) can barely break away from a meeting long enough to listen to 11-year-old daughter Caroline (Ruby Jerins)—Tyler’s and Ally’s interconnected lives careen toward an outcome neither of them have any way of predicting.

More than just your typical love story aimed at young people—but flawed nonetheless—”Remember Me” is best when it is hitting truthful chords in the rapport between the characters. The way in which Tyler’s broken family gets together on the anniversary of his brother’s death but can’t quite connect as a unit feels real, as do father Charles’ preoccupation with work, mother Diane’s (Lena Olin) new marriage to Les (Gregory Jbara), and little sis Caroline’s feelings of inadequacy about a dad who won’t give her the time of day. Tyler—viewed as on a bad path—isn’t really so out of control as he is filled with anger and prone to snap actions. His lovely bond with Caroline, reminding of Holden Caulfield’s touching relationship with sister Phoebe in J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” is arguably the film’s high point. Ruby Jerins (2010’s “Shutter Island”) is an irresistible find as Caroline, a sensitive child and talented aspiring artist who deserves better than the taunting classmates at school and neglectful father.

The romance between Tyler and Ally begins as a meditated setup on the former’s end—Tyler only seeks her out because of her relation to the officer who arrested him—but grows into something more when it becomes clear these two share a common struggle in their lives and can relate to each other all the better because of it. The conflict that inevitably arises, leading to a temporary falling-out, is blown out of proportion in Ally’s reaction and could have been easily avoided were Tyler to use more tact. If that doesn’t work, their intimacy and playfulness when together does. Emilie de Ravin (2006’s “The Hills Have Eyes”) is sympathetic and low-key as Ally, but also unassumingly captivating. Her quirks—ordering dessert before the main course, telling the cab driver to not give her any lip when she requests he drive her to Brooklyn (she hasn’t rode the subway since her mother’s death)—are mildly cutesy, but also helpful in painting a wider portrait of who Ally is and the rituals that bring insight into her past.

Where “Remember Me” ends, it dare not be said, though anyone paying attention should be able to slowly put it together as the characters’ lives lead them toward a historical moment in time. Until this point, the picture had been diverting and well-written by Will Fetters, but also kind of bland in plot and mise en scene. The final ten minutes, however, are methodical in the emotional sucker punch they create, offering up revelations about characters and bringing closure to Tyler’s complicated feelings toward his father just as his life heads toward a final fateful moment. There is a natural conclusion, culminating in a camera pull-back and reveal, that would have really been powerful. That the film goes on another few minutes and spells things out is an instance where more is surely less. The movie didn’t need the epilogue it provides, but isn’t destroyed by it, either. Dark though it is—few audience members will be whistling a happy tune afterwards—this finale does carve out a place for the film itself as a more memorable tale of redemption and letting go than it otherwise might have been. As for Robert Pattinson, he is in full command of his leading role and never falters. A strong career beyond vampiric immortality may await this promising actor after all

Remember Me was released in the US this weekend.  Since it’s not released in the UK until April 2nd, I’ll keep it as spoiler free as possible.  The general gap in release dates is actually discussed in another post that you can find here.  Now, on to the review.Remember Me tells the story of Tyler (Robert Pattinson) and Ally (Emilie de Ravine) as two twenty something college students, both rocked by individual family tragedies and both fighting their own personal demons.

Toward the beginning of the film, Tyler ends up getting arrested and the arresting officer happens to be Ally’s father, Sgt. Neil Craig (Chris Cooper).  Encouraged by his best friend, Tyler initiates a relationship with Ally as a way of “getting back” at her father.

Tyler, of course, has issues of his own.  He’s floating through life, not really focused on anything.  The only thing that seems to bring him out of his shell is the relationship with his younger sister Caroline (played very effectively by Ruby Jerins).  He has a seemingly decent relationship with his mother (Lena Olin) but the relationship with his career focused and driven father (Pierce Brosnan) is rocky to say the least.  They don’t click and they don’t really care for each other.  Needless to say Tyler isn’t in the best of places emotionally.  His budding relationship with Ally slowly transforms his otherwise stagnant existence.

Ally is a bit of the opposite side of the same coin as Tyler.  She has a good relationship with her father, but the tragedy they experience definitely leaves a bit of a shadow over their household.  Her father is caring yet over protective and that leads to confrontation, which then leads to a chasm in their otherwise loving relationship.  She seeks comfort from Tyler and the two of them end up helping each other cope.

Regarding the cast, I was really interested in seeing if Robert Pattinson could A) hold his own against the rest of the cast and B)play a role that wasn’t Cedric Diggory or Edward Cullen.  Pattinson definitely has the ability to play characters that are brooding and conflicted.  While this role may not have been a real stretch, he played it convincingly.  I like that Pattinson is trying to branch out and not be typecast, but the role of Tyler still has that internal strife that is reminiscent of previous roles.  He does have a bit of a James Dean quality, which isn’t a bad thing.  I’ll be interested to see what other roles he chooses and if those roles will a 180 degree difference from those he is most known for.

As far as the rest of the cast is concered, they all fit their roles respectively.  The real standout here is Ruby Jerins.  She conveyed her internal pain and akwardness with realism and precision.  She already has quite the resume, and will only continue to grow.

As for the film itself, it may not be an award winner, but overall it was decent.  I was entertained for the most part.  A film can be gauged by how many times you check your watch and I didn’t check mine at all.  The dialogue was a bit stilted at times, but it wasn’t bad per se.  Watching Pierce Brosnan play a pompous jerk was interesting, but hearing him speak with a New York accent was a bit painful at times.  My real complaint with the film overall lies with the way they chose to end it.  You may have heard about this surprise ending already, but if you haven’t I won’t give it away.  I felt it was gratuitous and a bit of a slap in the face.  It wasn’t necessary and the film really could have gone with a different direction.  I feel that this type of ending was chosen for the reaction value instead of what would have benefited the film the most.  I doubt my reaction was the one they film makers were going for, but I know I’m not alone in my opinion.

Should you see this film?  That depends.  Of course the fans of Twilight will go see it simply for the fact that Pattinson is in it.  I can think of worse ways to spend 2 hours, but I can also think of better ways too.  If a friend were to ask me if they should go see it, I’d tell them if they were curious, then go for it.  But if they were apprehensive, it may not be the best choice.  Overall, Remember Me was entertaining, but the final act casts a shadow on what otherwise could have been a good film.

The most oddly-high profile release of the weekend was the romantic drama Remember Me. Of course, the film was seen by many as a test of Twilight star Robert Pattinson’s draw as a movie star. Of course, if Summit was trying to prop up the numbers by attaching the Twilight Saga: Eclipse trailer to prints of Remember Me, it might have helped if they had NOT released the trailer online the day before the opening. So while some may decry the ‘mere’ $8.3 million, we must recall that a movie like this wouldn’t have made $1.75 if not for what drawing power Pattinson has. Sure Shia Labeouf can open slickly-marketed thrillers like Eagle Eye and Disturbia, but let’s see what happens when he has to open a movie all-by himself that doesn’t look awfully appealing regardless of him.

Besides, as word leaked out about the film’s extended-middle finger of an ending, even some of Pattinson’s die hard fans apparently decided to stay away. Speaking of females, the gender split was 84/16 on this one. Point being, if he can open Remember Me to $8.3 million all by himself, he may just be a movie star.

No, Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me didn’t kill. But it didn’t die. Unlike Matt Damon’s The Green Zone.

On a crowded weekend at the multiplex, Damon’s $100 million action-war movie produced a meager $14.5 million debut, per estimates. The smaller-scale Remember Me grossed a respectable $8.3 million, while She’s Out of My League ($9.6 million) and Our Family Wedding ($7.6 million) likewise got relatively big bangs out of their little bucks.

Oh, and Tim Burton’s and Johnny Depp’s Alice in Wonderland made more money than all those four films combined: $62 million. More results:

• The Green Zone was not expected to be Bourne big; it was expected to open bigger than, say, the The Crazies.

• On the bright side of defeat, The Green Zone made about as much in three days as The Hurt Locker has made during its entire Oscar-winning run.

• To recap: Iraq War movies not a great investment idea. Still.

• The most optimistic estimates had Remember Me breaking $10 million (roughly the equivalent of a Monday afternoon for New Moon). Still, the romantic drama only cost $16 million, so even as is it’s already half-way home.

• A statistic that will surprise absolutely no one who is or who has met a Twi-hard: Fully 84 percent of Remember Me’s opening-weekend audience was female. And they liked, too—downer 9/11 setting or no. Overall, opening-weekend ticketbuyers graded the Pattinson movie a B.

• After two weekends, Alice in Wonderland has made $208.6 million, keeping it (for now) on the blockbuster pace set by Avatar. To stay with the James Cameron trailblazer, all Alice has to do is play 11 more Top 10 weekends. At least.

• No, Avatar didn’t win Best Picture, but it retained bragging rights over every other film in Hollywood, grossing another $6.6 million, and upping its all-time domestic total to $730.3 million.

• Leonardo DiCaprio’s Shutter Island ($8.1 million) broke $100 million.

• The Lightning Thief ($3.1 million) dropped out of the Top 10 after four tepid weekends and $82.3 million. The $95 million movie needed—and got—help from the rest of the world, with its worldwide take approaching $200 million, per Box Office Mojo.

Here’s a complete rundown of the weekend’s top-grossing films Friday-Sunday, per estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1.    Alice in Wonderland, $62 million
2.    The Green Zone, $14.5 million
3.    She’s Out of My League, $9.6 million
4.    Remember Me, $8.3 million
5.    Shutter Island, $8.1 million
6.    Our Family Wedding, $7.6 million
7.    Avatar, $6.6 million
8.    Brooklyn’s Finest, $4.3 million
9.    Cop Out, $4.2 million
10.  The Crazies, $3.7 million

We already reported on the weekend box office today, but there’s a glaring mistake that other media accounts made that needs to be addressed.

Alice in Wonderland, of course, dominated the weekend again, making it the clear #1. It’s been a remarkable two weeks for the Johnny Depp 3D extravaganza.

Green Zone, She’s Out of My League, and Remember Me are bundled rather tightly in second, third, and fourth place.

BUT… there’s a discrepancy worth noting.

Exhibitor Relations Co., the company where many mainstream outlets get their weekend figures, says Remember Me debuted on 3,587 screens.

Not so.

As Box Office Mojo reports, Remember Me hit 2,212 screens this weekend.

Gossip Cop confirmed with a studio source that Mojo is right.

So while the dollar estimates – Green Zone ($14.5M), She’s Out of My League ($9.6M), Remember Me ($8.3M) – will probably be (mostly) on target when the actual numbers come out, the often cited per-screen average measure of performance changes quite a bit.

This is noteworthy because Remember Me is actually doing better per theater than She’s Out of My League.

Exhibitor Relations Co. says…

Green Zone $4,840 per screen

She’s… League $3,248 per screen

Remember Me $2,309 per screen  (incorrect)

Box Office Mojo:

Green Zone $4,840 per screen

Remember Me $3,752 per screen (correct)

She’s… League $3,248 per screen

As weekend box office roundups begin to circulate, keep the correct theater count in mind.
