    CHICAGO --

    Oisin O’Driscoll has joined The Mill Chicago’s expanding color team, coming over from The Mill London where he crafted a highly impressive body of work since joining in 2014. O’Driscoll has become known for his bold, cutting edge style and he has formed lasting relationships with some of the industry’s leading talents. 
     
    O’Driscoll’s noteworthy work includes Radiohead’s “I Promise” directed by Michael Marczak, Nike Korea’s “Run It” directed by We Are From LA and, most recently, Adidas’ epic “The Answer” campaign for the 2018 FIFA World Cup directed by Manu Cossu out of Iconoclast.

    Another key creative highlight for O’Driscoll was grading the BAFTA award-winning “Home,” a powerful 20-minute short film addressing the refugee crisis, working with Somesuch and BBH London.

    O’Driscoll joins a team in Chicago which includes colorist Mikey Pehanich, a native Chicagoan who’s been with The Mill for more than five years. Pehanich’s portfolio has grown in recent years with work for Allstate, Samsung, Marriott and Buick on his reel. 

    Carl Phillips, managing director of The Mill’s Chicago studio, said, “I worked with Oisin in London and he is a truly exceptional talent. The addition of such a stellar creative artist allows us to further strengthen our world-class offering for color.”

    “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” Tops Weekend Box Office

    Sunday, December 22, 2024

    In the holiday season battle of big-budget family movies, Paramount Pictures' "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" sped past the Walt Disney Co.'s "Mufasa: The Lion King" to take the top spot at the box office ahead of the lucrative Christmas corridor in theaters.

    "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" debuted with $62 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates. With strong reviews (86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and a high score from audiences (an "A" on CinemaScore), "Sonic 3" is well positioned to be the top choice in cinemas during the busiest moviegoing period of the year.

    It was telling of some wider trends that "Sonic 3" — made for $122 million — bested one of Disney's top properties. Videogame adaptations, once among the most derided movie genres, have emerged as one of the most dependable box office forces in recent years. The two previous "Sonic" movies together grossed more $700 million worldwide and the third installment appears likely to do better than both of them. A fourth "Sonic" movie is already in development.

    "Mufasa," however, was humbled in its opening weekend, with its $35 million in domestic ticket sales coming in notably shy of expectations . The photorealistic "Lion King" prequel even opened wider than "Sonic 3," launching on 4,100 theaters and gobbling up most IMAX screens, compared with 3,761 locations for "Sonic 3."

    Though "Mufasa's" reviews were poor (56% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences gave it an "A-" CinemaScore.

    "Sonic 3" nearly doubled the haul for "Mufasa," which cost more than $200 million to make. Disney could look to $87.2 million in international sales to help make up the difference. The third "Sonic" will rollout in most overseas markets in the coming weeks.
