1. We’re only counting deaths that legitimately occur onscreen. So, just because Michael Bay shows a skyscraper being knocked over by Megatron, don’t just round up to 5,000. Also, let’s not forget that most of Michael Bay’s skyscrapers are probably empty, because…
2. Hollywood is currently in the grip of a horrific PG-13 pandemic, which means many of the deaths that occur onscreen will be bloodless non-human deaths. This is because the MPAA doesn’t think a twelve-year-old should see a human being get comically decapitated, but they have no problem with showing the same twelve-year-old an image of Thor’s hammer slicing a Frost Giant in half. Hooray for ambiguously legislated morality! Hence, we have opened this body count to any species who have achieved human-level sentience or beyond. No, cute little dogs don’t count. Because they are stupid.
3. In the interest of letting everyone play along, we’re focusing our official Body Count only on films with wide releases in 2,000 theaters or more. However, if you catch an indie film that features a particularly gruesome fatality, be sure to mark it down, because…
4. We’ll be handing out awards. We’ll be on the lookout for the best deaths, the funniest deaths, the saddest deaths, the best last lines, the most unexpected murder weapons, and more. Each week, we’ll ask you to vote on your favorite death of the summer so far.
Avast, mateys! Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides added 32 more souls to EW’s Summer Movie Body Count. Click through to learn how they died—who knew Ariel and her sisters were so bloodthirsty?—and to vote on your favorite death scene of the summer movie season so far.
Only two weeks into our Summer Movie Body Count, and we’re already up to 155 reported fatalities. Even crazier: Those 155 people (and vampires, and frost giants) died in just two movies.
This week in EW: The stars of The Hangover: Part II share wild tales from the set.
Here’s the evidence, as if this required further explanation.

It actually came out on April 15—that was the issue with Harry Potter on the cover. But don’t worry, because we’ve got a huge online summer movie guide launching late this week; it’ll also have a list of the best of what’s coming out between now and August.
Warner Bros. filed court papers on Monday indicating they intend to digitally erase the tattoo on Ed Helms’ character’s face when The Hangover Part II is released on home video. But what will they replace it with?
New clips from The Hangover Part II! In this one, the boys race through the streets of Bangkok in a car driven by the endlessly weird Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) with a bunch of trigger-happy bikers hot on their tail. Does this make you more or less excited to see the movie?
A valuable exchange on this post about why The Hangover Part II made so much freakin’ money.
