‘Max Payne’ might be the number one movie this weekend, it’s certainly not the next big Mark Wahlberg movie.

Do you know what movie that grossed the most of all time in US? I believe many of you will say Titanic. Yup, that’s true. Titanic grossed about $600 millions in US alone. The 2nd position is The Dark Knight which until now has grossed about $526 millions and keep counting. But do you know [...]

On the eve of Gandhi Jayanti, two big films are releasing (Drona and Kidnap). The sad part is that both of them are violent films. 2nd October is celebrated as Gandhiji’s birthday.
Samuel L. Jackson's latest movie "Lakeview Terrace" came in as this weekend's top earner, how much did it make? and should you see it? I'll let you know inside.
This was one of the slowest movie weekends in years.
The fall box office got off to its shakiest start in years as Danny and Oxide Pang’s Nicolas Cage hitman actioner “Bangkok Dangerous” barely beat holdover comedy “Tropic Thunder.”
The R-rated “Bangkok Dangerous,” distributed by Lionsgate, grossed an estimated $7.8 million as it bowed in 2,650 theaters. [...]

Movie tickets were a tough sell for labor day weekend, as Babylon A.D and Traitor were the only two of last week's four new releases to finish in the top five.

It’s taken over four weeks happen, but The Dark Knight has finally been toppled from its perch atop the box office rankings. Of course, its fall wasn’t too great, dropping only to number two, but its successor Tropic Thunder is surely pleased with itself right now.

In what is entirely unsurprising, The Dark Knight has once again taken top honors at the box office this weekend, completely blitzing anything and everything that attempted to make a big showing this weekend.

The Bat takes the weekend Box Office by a land slide and sets a few records along the way. The Dark Knight took the top spot this weekend (no sh*t) with $155.3 Million dollars.

If all her film releases stick to plan, November 2008 may will turn out to be the busiest month ever for Priyanka Chopra. The reson being that she has two of her films lined for release this winter.
Mumbai, June 28 (IANS) Three films have been released this week, including the Saif Ali Khan-Rani Mukerji starrer “Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic”, but going by initial collections, all of them seem to have got a tepid response at the box office.
The Yash Raj Films-Kunal Kohli production secured a face-saving collection of 70 percent on the [...]
I’m finally back home with my beloved internet connection, so here’s one last update before I’m off and I’ll be back tomorrow with the ‘regular’ updates. I’ll just give the overseas totals in a top 10 this time. We see ‘Indiana Jones 4’ having a slight edge over ‘The Incredible Hulk’ at the slow [...]
A television show-turned-movie topped the box office this weekend. Get Smart premiered in the Number One spot this weekend with $39.1 Million. Kung Fu Panda bet The Incredible Hulk with $21.7 Million for the Number Two position by $143,000. The aforementioned The Incredible Hulk nabbed Third Place. The Fourth Spot went to The Love Guru, [...]
I’ve been staying at a no-internet zone for a couple of days, so I’m sorry for the slightly lower update frequency. This also caused the delayed roundup, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless.
1. The Incredible Hulk: $74,919,370 ($150 million budget)
2. Kung Fu Panda: $50,218,801 ($130 million budget, second week)
3. The Happening: $40,267,349 ($57 million budget)

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is once again being dubbed box-office poison, poor diddums [Website - TheLostGirl’s Blog].
TIMBERLAKE’s new movie ‘The Love Guru’, has sadly done even worse than predicted by critics.
The film, which only scored a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 15% (the lowest I have ever seen!), only grossed $14 million during its opening weekend [...]
Sadly there aren’t any new tracking numbers floating around. But we do have a better idea of what to expect, just a little over a day before release. Last week’s tracking numbers indicated a soft launch for both ‘The Love Guru’ and ‘Get Smart,’ with the last one tracking a little higher. And while the [...]
Ok, ‘The Happening’ is a terrible movie, but taking the number one spot overseas is quite an accomplishment. M. Night Shyamalan’s movie made $32.1 million at 5,714 screens in 88 territories. That’s about $5,600 per screen. ‘The Incredible Hulk’ came in second, but managed to make almost $10,000 per screen at 38 markets.
The $32.1 million [...]
It is not surprising that the Hulk 2 was the number one movie over the weekend. The damage the Hulk did was $54.5 million. I think that would just cover the advertising budget. The studio and Marvel comic really spent some money on getting word out. I don't the figure amount for advertising but I know the promo machine was everywhere. From Yahoo homepage to Myspace home page. It is good to see bec
Over the weekend The Incredible Hulk smashed the competition to earn $54.5 million and finish No. 1. Marvel and Universal brought the first “Hulk” to theatres in 2003, but that more introspective version failed to follow through on its muscular $62 million debut after disappointing comic book fans.
Now let’s fast-forward five years to 2008 [...]
THE Incredible Hulk roared into top place worldwide at the box office this weekend, raking in $85.5 million (£43.6million) - consisting of $54.5 million (£27.8million) in the USA and a further $31million (£15.8million) overseas. Directed by Louis Leterrier and...
Not surprisingly, The Incredible Hulk won this weekend's box office, but M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening was embarrassingly beat out by Kung Fu Panda.
The Hulk smashed the box office this past weekend
The weekend box office once again wowed as Marvel Studios and Universal’s “The Incredible Hulk” made up for past mistakes in grossing an estimated $54.5 million domestically and M. Night Shyamalan’s R-rated “The Happening” outperformed expectations in grossing an estimated $30.5 million for 20th Century Fox.

‘The Incredible Hulk’ continues its mild dominance over ‘The Happening.’ Still targeting a $55 million total gross for the weekend, ‘The Incredible Hulk’ made an estimated $19.5 mill this Saturday. With a $150 million budget, Marvel must be disappointed. Not publicly of course, the blockbuster is still beating their low expectations. But their cheaper ‘Iro
Yesterday we reported the mediocre early ‘The Incredible Hulk’ box office estimates, but it turns out these numbers were slightly on the low side. Louis Leterrier’s new Hulk grossed over $21 million yesterday, giving it a shot at a $55 million box office weekend. We know it’s no ‘Iron Man’ by now, but it will [...]
The first Friday box office numbers are coming in and it seems like my ‘The Happening’ rant came just in time. A lot of people didn’t know the movie was God-awful and bought an estimated $12.5 million in tickets. This translates into a +$30 million weekend, slightly beating early tracking.
‘The Incredible Hulk’ is having a [...]
1. Kung Fu Panda: $83,677,338 ($130 million budget)
2. Don’t Mess with the Zohan: $52,390,341 ($90 million budget)
3. Sex and the City: $31,774,685 ($65 million budget, second week)
Another interesting week. Sadly, ‘Sex and the City’ will be leaving the top 3 this week, but it’s still going strong. As we saw in our ‘post-weekend drops,’ the [...]
Would it be fair to say the two comedies releasing next week are rather low on buzz? I’d say so. ‘Get Smart’ has the ‘Speed Racer’ vibe going, it’s based on some TV show in the sixties nobody remembers. And ‘The Love Guru’ has the Mike Myers vibe going, which can be bad (’The Cat [...]
It was a big weekend for comedies as they nabbed both first and second at the box office. The animated spectacle Kung Fu Panda judo-chopped its way to number 1 with a surprising $60m. Although it was expected to be a close finish, Adam Sandler’s You Don’t Mess With The Zohan actually took a whole [...]
A family-friendly animated Kung-fu flick took the top spot this weekend. Kung Fu Panda, which premiered this weekend, was Number One with $60 Million. In second place was You Don’t Mess with the Zohan with $40 Million. The crapfest that is Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was third this weekend with $21.3 [...]
Film critic Thelma Adams says that Angelina Jolie is worth the $12-15 million she earns per movie.

Overall, she is worth the millions that she’s paid. She really is a good actress, and one of the sexiest women alive.
Plus, she’s got the kids and Brad Pitt. She’s a triple word score!
Kung Fu Panda would have [...]
The DreamWorks animated feature Kung Fu Panda, starring Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, wins this weekend box office over the Adam Sandler comedy, You Don't Mess With The Zohan.
Some quick Friday estimates before I’m off. ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan’ is selling tickets in line with our tracking numbers earlier this week and ‘Kung Fu Panda’ is doing even better.
‘Kung Fu Panda’ is starting off with a good $17.75 million. If it holds up, this could translate into a $55 million weekend, [...]
1. Sex and the City: $77,958,978 ($65 million budget)
2. Indiana Jones 4: $59,339,836 ($185 million budget, second week)
3. The Strangers: $28,356,800 ($9 million budget)
It might have looked like ‘Sex and the City’ was a one day wonder, but as we already expected in our ‘post-weekend drop,’ it had a strong week overall. All the top [...]
Taking a look at the overseas box office, we see ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian’ doing well in its current territories. But Caspian’s rollout is spanning over two months, which seems old-fashioned for such a big movie.
Paramount released ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Indiana Jones 4′ simultaneous, why can’t Disney do the same? Well, while you [...]
We already saw the ‘You Don’t Mess with the Zohan’ tracking numbers earlier today. But how about that other comedy, ‘Kung Fu Panda’? Well, the DreamWorks animation is looking at a better opening than Adam Sandler, that’s for sure. Tracking indicates an opening somewhere around $60 million.

As I left you with the last ‘Sex and the City’ box office numbers, I just had to come back with another classic Sarah Jessica Parker photo (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Everybody knows that sex sells, especially at the box office. Now it’s sold a syndicated television show on the big screen.
