Two Trailers and Minecraft Game

....Movies

- The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies started of its run strong. On Wednesday it earned 24.5M of 3,875 screens. This was the third highest Wednesday opening behind two Lord of the ring films: Return of the Ring and Two Towers.

- AMC Theaters have announced a new subscription program called MoviePass Premium. With the subscription, movie goers will be able to see one movie a day without a ticket. The service will cost up to $45. But it will only be available in Denver and Boston during its trial period.

....Television

- Parks and Recreation released its first final season trailer yesterday. NBC will premiere two episodes every week starting January 13,2015 at 8PM ET. And the one hour series finale will air February 24. I don't know about you, but I'm both looking forward to and dreading January 13. I will miss this series.


- Orphan Black gets a release date and a teaser. Season 3 will premiere April 18, 2015. A date I can't wait to get to. As for the teaser, let's just say "This Is War".



....Video Games

- Mojang and Telltale Games have announced they're making a game about Minecraft. Minecraft: Story Mode will be out sometime in 2015, and like Telltale's other games, will be released in a series of episodes. Here's what Telltale had to say:

Minecraft: Story Mode will be an all-new narrative-driven game series developed by Telltale in collaboration with Mojang. Set in the world of Minecraft, the series will feature an original story, driven by player choice. It will not be an add-on for Minecraft, but rather a separate standalone product that will premiere in 2015 on consoles, computers and mobile devices. 

Telltale's game series will mix new characters with familiar themes, in an entirely original Minecraft experience, inspired by the Minecraft community and the game that continues to inspire a generation.

- Valve has announced the start of the Steam Holiday Sale. The press release follows:

"The Steam Holiday Sale is on now thru January 2, 2015. Throughout the sale, Steam customers may take advantage of special deals running every 12 hours and new Featured Deals happening each day.
