 Scorch Trials Box Office

It was another big box office weekend for Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien. “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” saw an estimated $110 million in ticket sales worldwide since opening last week.

Its US opening weekend was slightly behind “The Maze Runner” which opened this time last year ($30.3m vs. $32.5m) but it more than made up for that with ticket sales in other territories.

The first film in the series went on to gross more than $300 million and “Scorch Trials” is on target to do at least that much.

O’Brien’s next appearance on the big screen is set for this time next year when Peter Berg’s “Deepwater Horizon” opens.

 Teen Wolf to NYCC

Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis says they don’t know just yet who from the cast and crew will make it to New York next month for ComicCon.

Davis says he expects to make the trip and thinks Tyler Posey will come too. He says they’ll bring a couple more folks with them but it’s still unclear just who will be on that list.

The Teen Wolf Panel is set for Friday, October 9 from 5:45PM – 6:45PM on the Empire Stage 1-E. We’ll have full coverage after the event here on Teen Wolf Wikia.

 Charity Wars

We often get requests for charitable donations from the Teen Wolf cast but this month those requests became a cacophony with Tyler Posey, Dylan Sprayberry, and Cody Christian all touting charities.

Posey is doing something called “The Gentlemen’s Ride” which apparently consists of people in formalwear riding motorcycles. The money raised goes to fight prostate cancer.

This month both Sprayberry and Christian launched t-shirt fundraisers.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sprayberry’s designs play on his habit of “mean muggin’” in his selfies. <p class="MsoNormal">He’s designed three shirts for his “Mean Mugging Social Club” line. The proceeds will go to the VH1 Save the Music Campaign which aims to keep music classes in public schools. This is a limited run and the shirts are only available until next week.

<p class="MsoNormal">Cody Christian tried cashing in on his Theo character with a T-shirt bearing his likeness and the word “Villain.” Proceeds from the sales go to breast cancer research. Unfortunately, it seems, his fans were not buying. <p class="MsoNormal">His goal was to sell 500 of the Villain tees during a two week window but only 220 people ordered.

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf is making headlines in the industry for its unique post-production process.

<p class="MsoNormal">The production uses a company called Chainsaw to color, add visual effects and basically “finish” the show before it goes to air.

<p class="MsoNormal">According to a press release from the company, Teen Wolf’s process is unique in that each scene is “fixed” separately before being edited together.


 * Where most television series are fully conformed in an edit bay before final color grading, Chainsaw colorist Kris Santa Cruz colors the show on a scene by scene basis and then passes it along to finishing editor Mark Needham for the final conform, titling and effects.


 * “It’s the reverse of what’s normally done,” explains Needham. “The show’s producers spend less time in color and more time in editorial, but it provides them with much greater flexibility. Because I’m dealing with files of individual shots, rather than a render of the full episode, it’s easier to make those last minute changes, something we often do with Teen Wolf.”

What this "editing in reverse" process means is that the producers of the show have to seriously trust the Chainsaw folks to get it right because they won’t see the finished product until episode is complete. It also means they get their episodes done more quickly. Each one takes about 4 days to process.

Teen Wolf cast and crew took over one of the most iconic spots in genre television this week. Vasquez Rocks, a 25 million year old rock formation outside LA, may well be the most historic location the production has ever used. This place is instantly recognizable to anyone who's even glanced at a TV in the past 45 years. It appears in all the various Star Trek flavors, Buck Rogers, Buffy, Charmed and even MMPR.

The location seems to be the backdrop for what EP Jeff Davis says will be a very Kira-centric episode in the second half of the season and we did see Arden Cho out on location a lot.

Writer Angela Harvey was also out on the rocks suggesting that she penned the episode they're working on currently.

While all that is cool, the most exciting thing we saw at Vasquez Rocks is in this shot!

That's right, Stiles' Jeep is looking fully recovered on location. I wonder if they filled up the tank with that green stuff Theo used on the chimeras?

Here are a few more shots from the location shoot -
