          1 21 Jump Street (2012) $35M $35M
          2 Dr. Seuss' The Lorax (2012) $22.8M $158M
          3 John Carter (2012) $13.5M $53.2M

          5 A Thousand Words (2012) $3.75M $12.1M
          6 Act of Valor (2012) $3.68M $62.4M
          7 Safe House (2012) $2.76M $120M
          8 Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012) $2.46M $95.1M
          9 Casa de mi Padre (2012) $2.2M $2.2M
          10 This Means War (2012) $2.12M $50.5M

          The main stories this week are 21 Jump Street which has opened strong enough that Sony has already commissioned a script for a sequel and John Carter which is crashing harder than previous flops Prince of Persia and 10,000BC. It's international figures remain okay so it might recover a fair chunk of its whopping budget but overall a poor performance.

            Its such a shame about John Carter.

            Brilliant film and deserves a sequel. People are fools.

              They are indeed fools, but the film is ****. I urge everyone here to save their money, or just download it illegally if you'd rather waste your time instead. I wish more stuff would flop to be honest.

                Has anyone seen Hunger Games yet? Everything I've read in reviews has said it's alright in a 'not as good as the Battle Royale it blatantly steals from' kind of way. Either way, expect lots of merchandise and maybe a lawsuit to follow as it's opened BIG. $155 million in its opening weekend in the US and the third biggest opening of all time behind only the last Harry Potter and Dark Knight.

                  Yeah I saw it, I would really compare it to Battle Royal at all, yeah it has kids killing each other and trying to survive but that's as far as it goes. It reminded me very much of that Charlie Brooker Black Mirror thing from not long ago.
                  The competition part of it makes up less than half the film
                  I really enjoyed it, one of the best films I've seen In a long time.

                    All I keep hearing is how great it is, the 'next Twilight' connotations the media keep using had put me off but I'm thinking it's going to have to be watched now

                        Superhero adventure The Avengers lived up to its blockbuster buzz with $178.4 million in ticket sales ahead of its US release.


                        How did Avengers do?

                        The film took ?15.8m in the UK on opening weekend, the biggest total for any superhero film released. The film has already amassed $178.4m internationally with several countries including the US yet to recieve the film. Box Office Mojo has estimated the final tally could be as high as $600m at least EXCLUDING its final domestic total.

                          Monday 1PM: Final tally is in and is an even bigger than expected $207.4 million with an utterly incredible $47,698 per screen across 4,300 screens. Sunday 10AM: Saturday’s domestic takings came in at $69.7 million, the highest Saturday take of all time. Disney has now issued an opening weekend estimate of $200.3 million (and that’s […]


                          Beating even its own high predictions, Avengers has had an opening final total for its domestic release of $207.4m

                          The total is a massive $40m higher than the final Harry Potter which held the record for the biggest opening of all time.

                          The film currently sits on $647m worldwide total. The film sits just outside the Top 50 highest grossing films of all time but given it's only been out on average 1 week it looks set to do very well.

                              Closing out its second weekend at the domestic box-office, “Marvel’s The Avengers” dropped only 50% to $103 million for the weekend – an incredible number considering how high it opened. It’s no shock that it’s the “best second weekend ever”, beating out Avatar’s $75.6 million, while its current domestic total sits at $373.2 million. Even […]


                              New Avengers update as the film's second week takings carry it across the fabled $1 Billion marker. Having the biggest 'Second Weekend' ever, the film overtook Avatar second weekend record to rake in a domestic total of $373.2m.

                              The worldwide total of over $1 Billion has taken the film past the overall lifetime total of The Dark Knight and moved the film up from being the 47th highest grossing film of all time to the 11th. With a relatively quiet weekend ahead it looks like Avengers will see a big jump again this week.
