The Dark Knight Rises At The US Box Office

July 24, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

This weekend’s box office numbers were understandably delayed out of respect for the victims of last week’s Colorado shooting. However now they’ve been released, with The Dark Knight Rises taking a massive $160 million, the third biggest opening weekend ever after The Avengers and Deathly Hallows Part 2, and the biggest ever for a 2D release.

Many suspect the film’s gross was slightly supressed due to the shooting, as most had expected it to take between $170 and $180 million. Even so, most people refused to be put off by the horrific acts just outside Denver.

The Dark Knight Rises was the only new release in the top 10, with most of the other movies slipping down a place. Some suspect it was family films more than Batman that were affected by the massacre, with parents keeping children out of the multiplxes. Ice Age 4 dropped far more than expected, 56% off from last weekend.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of July 20th-22nd.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Dark Knight Rises $160.8 $160.8
2 Ice Age: Continental Drift $20.4 $88.8
3 The Amazing Spider-man $10.8 $228.6
4 Ted $10.0 $180.4
5 Brave $6.0 $208.7
6 Magic Mike $4.2 $101.9
7 Savages $3.3 $40.0

Amazing Spider-man Swings To The Top Of The US Box Office

July 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although Sony might have been worried their reboot of Spider-man might not work, they can rest easy, as while they’d predicted it would do about $120 in its first six days, it actually took $140 million. That’s behind the opening haul of any of Sam Raimi’s Spider-man movies, but comes close to the first film’s take of $144 million. It’s no doubt a good start though, especially as around the world it added another $200 million, so its global box office now stands at a very healthy $341 million.

Savages, which opened on Friday, took $16.2 million to place fourth on the chart. That’s actually not too bad for a brutal, R-rated thriller, and is actually the third biggest opening of Oliver Stone’s career. However it’s believed that word of mouth isn’t very good, so it may struggle in the coming weeks.

The only other major opener was Kary Perry: Part Of Me, which has struggled despite some great reviews. It placed eighth with $7.1 million, well behind the likes of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber’s concert movie efforts. There’s little doubt it will be considered a flop, although Paramount will be pleased it only cost $12 million to make.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of July 6th-8th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Amazing Spider-man $65.0 $140.0
2 Ted $32.5 $120.2
3 Brave $20.1 $174.5
4 Savages $16.1 $16.1
5 Magic Mike $15.6 $72.8
6 Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection $10.2 $45.8
7 Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted $7.7 $196.0
8 Katy Perry: Part Of Me $7.1 $10.2
9 Moonrise Kingdom $4.6 $26.8
10 To Rome With Love $3.5 $5.6

To Rome With Love Trailer

April 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the wonderful Midnight In Paris last year, it’s fingers crossed that Woody Allen can continue his winning streak while simultaneously continuing his European tour, this time heading to Italy for To Rome With Love. The trailer doesn’t exactly make the plot clear, although it will follow a number of people in Italy, some American, some Italian, some residents, some visitors, and the romances and adventures and predicaments they get into. Woody stars alongside Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Penelope Cruz, Alex Baldwin and Roberto Benigni. No UK release is currently set, but it’ll be out later this year.
