A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas (DVD)

November 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: John Cho, Kal Penn, Neil Patrick Harris, Thomas Lennon, Amir Blumenfeld
Director: Todd Strauss-Schulson
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: November 5th 2012

When Kal Penn (aka Kumar) went off to work for Obama at the White House (yes, that really happened), it seemed that would be the end of Harold and Kumar. However he left his job in the President’s communications department and so the stoners have returned for a festive adventure. In cinemas they even went 3D, and indeed if you’ve got a 3D Blu-ray player and the right TV, you can enjoy a third dimension in the home, but if you’re going with DVD, you’ll have to enjoy the movie in good old 2D.

Breaking Dawn Scores Huge Opening Weekend

November 21, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

The question this weekend wasn’t whether Twilight: Breaking Dawn would have a good opening, it was just how big it would be. That question has now been answered with the latest in the series taking $139 million in its first three days in the US, and $283.5 million around the world. It’s the fifth biggest North American opening in history, but didn’t quite take the franchise record, which is still held by New Moon’s $142.8 million. It also scored the third biggest opening day gross ever, after the final Harry Potter and New Moon, taking $72 million in America on Friday.

The weekend’s other big opener didn’t have quite as much to cheer about, as Happy Feet Two landed with a rather tepid $22 million, about half what the first movie took when it opened. Warner knew they may face some competition for young females fromTwilight, but perhaps underestimated quite how much, as they’d predicted a $30 million plus opening.

However one other movie did outperform expectations – indeed going by per-theatre average, it outdid Breaking Dawn – and that’s George Clooney’s new movie The Descendants. The Hawaii set movie, directed by Sideways helmer Alexander Payne, took $1.2 million from only 27 screens. That’s a very impressive $42,000 per theatre, suggesting the film will do very well as it explands over the next few weeks.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of November 18th-20th, 2011.

Immortals Tops The US Box Office

November 14, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Despite some rather stinging reviews, Immortals has gotten off to a pretty good start at the US box office with $32 million dollars. That may not be as much as the likes of 300 and Clash of The Titans, but still marks the biggest opening for a film not released by one of the six major studios since The Expendables.

Adam Sandler’s Jack And Jill had to settle for second spot with $26 million, slightly lower than most of Sandler’s movies, but still ahead of Funny People. The film film should play well over the next couple of weeks though, with those looking for a laugh over Thanksgiving.

The only other new entry was J. Edgar, which despite the hype and star power of Leo DiCaprio made only $11.4 million. That’s not an amazing start, but is actually slightly ahead of Clint Eastwood’s last movie, Hereafter. Although with rather mixed reviews it may struggle in the weeks ahead.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of November 11th-13th, 2011.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Immortals $32.0 $32.0
2 Jack And Jill $26.0 $26.0
3 Puss In Boots $25.5 $108.8
4 Tower Heist $13.2 $43.9
5 J. Edgar $11.4 $11.5
6 A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas $5.9 $23.2
7 In Time $4.1 $30.6
8 Paranormal Activity 3 $3.6 $100.8
9 Footloose $2.7 $48.8
10 Real Steel $2.0 $81.7

Neil Patrick Harris Proud Of Partner’s Performance

November 2, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The title of this post may sound as if Neil Patrick Harris is sharing too much about his sex life, but it’s actually an acting performance he’s talking about. Harris is reprising his role as an alternate, womanising, drug-taking version of himself in the new Harold & Kumar movie, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas.

The movie also has a role for his partner, David Burtka, in a surprising cameo, and it marks the first time the duo have acted together. While talking to Access Hollywood, Harris commented, “We don’t really act together. We just live together and we certainly exist together, like all the time, but acting… it was weird, because we just exist on a different level. I’m very proud of him and I think he came across very well in the movie. He’s a funny guy.” (Source: Advocate)
