Real Talk: David Cross Hated Making Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked

Now that David Cross’s contractual obligations on the live-action/animation Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise are over — the third and final of which is this weekend’s Chip-Wrecked — the comic actor isn’t mincing words about the ordeal. “This last film was literally, without question, the most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had in my professional life,” he told The Playlist. (Funny, Movieline’s Michelle Orange, after reviewing the kid pic, might say the same.) Take in the spectacle of these burning bridges with more of Cross’s post-traumatic musings after the jump! “It’s safe to say I won’t be working with some of those people ever again,” Cross continued. “Not the actors. And the director [Mike Mitchell] was great. We got along. There were a couple of people, though…it was just a really awful, unpleasant experience.” Ironically, Cross dropped his Chipmunks truth bombs in an interview discussing the upcoming season of his IFC show The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. The thing is, was it a poor decision on Cross’s part to take part in the Chipmunks franchise in the first place — let alone sign on to get locked into three movies, playing a terribly cartoonish record exec? I remember watching Cross in the last Chipmunks movie, the one with those chipper Chipettes (see image above), and thinking Cross looked far happier years ago playing a human-sized piece of shit pooped out by Michel Gondry. Now that’s work you can stand behind. David Cross Calls ‘Chip-Wrecked’ “The Most Unpleasant Experience” Of His Career [The Playlist]

'Modern Warfare 3' tops $1 bil in 16 days

Activision's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" has joined the billion dollar club -- after just 16 days on store shelves, setting yet another entertainment industry record. James Cameron's "Avatar" was the previous record holder for a property to hit the $1 billion sales mark. It took a day longer than the action/shooter video game to achieve that, however. ("Black Ops," the previous game in the "Call of Duty" series, took six weeks to hit the number.) "Engagement of our 'Call of Duty' audience continues to rise around the world," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "'Call of Duty' as an entertainment franchise has made an indelible mark on popular culture and its broad and continued success is further validation that audiences increasingly value interactive experiences over passive experiences." The $1 billion record is the second major sales kudo for the title. "Modern Warfare 3" previously set the industry record for the biggest product launch of all time by taking in $400 million in the first 24 hours. (It had previously set the bar for that record with the previous two "Call of Duty" installments.) Analysts expect "Modern Warfare 3" to sell 18 million-19 million units by the end of the calendar year, generating roughly $1.2 billion in revenue. The overwhelming success of the game is a vindication for the publisher. "Modern Warfare 3" is the first title from the company's Infinity Ward division since the abrupt dismissal of studio heads and series creators Jason West and Vince Zampella. Activision alleged they were meeting with competitor Electronic Arts about starting a new development studio. West and Zampella deny that accusation. Both parties are suing the other, with the cases expected to go to trial next year. West and Zampella have since launched a new company -- Respawn Entertainment -- and several key members of the Infinity Ward team have defected to it. Given the drama, "Modern Warfare 3" was a game under the microscope. "Every year, new people are drawn into 'Call of Duty'," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "And while the franchise continues to set records, our fans still seem to want more." That demand is helping drive subscriptions for "Call of Duty: Elite," a subscription service for players that provides access to all downloadable content for the game as well as tournament, video content and social network functionality for players. To date, more than 6 million people have registered for the service. Within six days of its launch, it had topped 1 million paying customers. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
