Weekly Box Office Movies in Singapore And Malaysia (Ending 2012/11/11)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies of Singapore and Malaysia for the week ending 11st Nov 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : What a surprise! The Singapore local new release "From Ah Boys To Men" (Mandarin) toppled Skyfall to become Top movie of the week. Actually, it might not be exceptionally surprising after all as the director of the movie, Jack Neo is a well known and popular director here with a few millions dollars projects released under his directorship.  Besides, it is a movie about the army life, which the locals can relate to it very well. In Malaysia, Skyfall remains at the top place on its second week. 

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2012/11/11)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 11st November 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : As expected, Skyfall broke its own franchise record to become the best opening  James Bond movie ever! With $88.4 millions, it easily tops the US chart. Internationally (exclude US), Skyfall already gained $429.6 and is definitely on its way to become the most successful 007 movie ever!

P/S : I've seen the 23rd James Bond movie in IMAX and I loved it!

Skyfall - The Amazing Opening Credits [Video]

If you have already watched the 23rd James Bond movie, SKYFALL, I am sure you will be awed with the opening credits. In fact, the opening credits has been the tradition of all James Bond movies and it just provide an additional ohm to the entire movie.

What make the opening credits in Skyfall special are:

1. The credit literally start with the FALL of James Bond! However, do take note that this FALL has nothing to do with the movie title, Skyfall as the latter is actually the name of a place in Scotland (where James Bond was born).

2. The theme song, Skyfall is sang by the diva, Adele

Guest Review - Skyfall (IMAX)

It has been a while since the last guest review (on Taken 2), my trusted friend, Ben, is back! Today, he is reviewing the 23rd James Bond movie, Skyfall.

The well loved secret agent, 007 (by Daniel Craig for the third times) broke the franchise' own record being the best opening Bond Movie in US last weekend (US$88.4 mil). Internationally, so far it has gained US$429.6 millions from about 80 markets (excluding US) and it is a matter of time (in day) to surpass Casino Royale (US$431) to become the highest-grossing Bond movie ever overseas.

Here are the TOP 5 Movies of Singapore and Malaysia for the week ending 4th Nov 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : As expected, after take on the European markets, the 23rd James Bond Franchise, Skyfall opened with a BANG in Singapore and Malaysia too. It will only be released in US over this weekend, similar box office phenomena is expected in the US box office too! 

As at last week, Skyfall has earned $287 millions internationally (and that's excluding the US market), it is a matter of time for it to eclipse the most successful James Bond movi, Casino Royale @ $427 millions (which is also under the helm of Daniel Craig).

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2012/11/04)

SPECIAL NOTE : This week, the old video-games-inspired animation, Wreck-It Ralph (3D) took the top spot with a strong $49.1 millions sale. The other new release, Flight (Denzel Washington) opened in a positive sale as well ($25 millions) in the second spot. Argo (Ben Affleck) held it quite strongly too at the third place, on its fourth weeks in the Box Office. 

One of the other new release, The Man With The Iron Fists  (RZA, Russell Crowe) opened weakly at the fourth place. Next week, the highly anticipated 23rd James Bond movie, Skyfall will hit the big screen in US and I am pretty sure that it will be opened with a BANG! So far, it has garnered close to $300 millions in the Europe region, since its released 2 weeks ago.
