Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 11th Aug 2013 (Sun).

Last weekend, all the 4 new releases performed pretty well and wallop the US box office with encouraging sales. As expected, Elysium (Matt Damon, Jodie Foster) tops the chart with $30.4 millions. Equally outstanding (in terms of sales) is the R rated comedy, We're The Millers (Jennifer Aniston , Jason Sudeikis) came in second with $26.6 millions. 

The other two releases, Planes (spin-off from the cars animation) and Percy Jackson : Sea Of Monsters (sequel to 2010's Percy Jackson And The Olympions : The Lightning Thief) came in third and forth. 

Now, enjoy the chart...

Elysium - The New Poster And Featurettes (Aug 2013)

Elysium, the upcoming Sci-fi feautring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster has just been released with a new poster and the featurettes. As per my earlier post, the storyline and plot of Elysium is seems so familiar i.e. been there, done that! Having said that, I am still looking forward to it since I am a sci-fi fan.

 

Short synopsis of Elysium:

 

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land.

The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

 

Elysium will be released in IMAX 3D on 9th Aug 2013. Keep reading to view the new poster and clips.

Elysium - The Stunning New Trailer (Aug 2013)

Elysium, the upcoming sci-fi, starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster looks cooler in the latest full length trailer. More intense, more action and I can relate more toward the dire situation that the character of Matt Demon (Max De Costa) is going through.

 

Directed by the District 9 (2009) director, Neill Blomkamp, the storyline of this futuristic post Apocalypse sci-fi looks somewhat "been there", "done that". Having said that, I am a fan of Matt Damon and Jodie Foster, hope that their chemistry do sparkle in the movie. Oh, by the way, Jodie Foster will be the villain in the movie.

 

Short synopsis of the Elysium (source: GeekTyrant):

 

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens’ luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well

 

Elysium will be released in the theatres near you in August 2013.
