Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2013/10/20)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 20th Oct 2013 (Sun).

Wow! This week's box office result might be something that even the film distributor for Gravity didn't expect. Gravity is having the strongest holding power in its third week, by only dropping 28% from previous week. That explains why it tops the chart for the third time with $31 millions. It look set to become one of the most successful non-holiday film. 

Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks) did pretty well on its second week as well at second spot. Same thing cannot be said for the other 3 new releases though. The horror remake, Carrie  (Chloë Grace Moretz) managed to stay at third spot only with under-performing figure of $17 millions. The Escape Plan (action thriller from Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger) did poorer with mere $9.8 millions. The worst release is The Fifth Estate (Benedict Cumberbatch) making miserable $1.7 millions on its first week (not in the top five movies). 

Now, enjoy the chart...

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2013/10/13)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 13th Oct 2013 (Sun).

As expected, Gravity retains the top spot on its second week with $44.3 millions. The accumulated sales in US alone already crossed the $100 millions mark and it look set to have a steady run. I've watched the movie in IMAX 3D yesterday and immersed myself in the space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. It is very real (in terms of sensing the outer space) and very inspiring. personally I am giving it a 4.5 stars (out of 5 stars).  

As for the other new release, Captain Phillips (Tom Hanks), it is doing quite with at second place with $26 millions. It is based on a true event and once again Tom Hanks is giving another powerful rendition as a "cast away" figure.

The third new release of the week, Machete Kills (a sequel) doing pathetically at fourth place with only $3.8 millions.

Now, enjoy the chart...

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2013/10/06)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 6th Oct 2013 (Sun).

As expected, the space calamity theme sci-fi, Gravity took the centre stage last week and claimed the top spot with a whopping $55.5 millions (a personal best for both main stars of the movie, Sandra Bullock and George Clooney). This is the kind of movie that you need to watch it at least in 3D (IMAX 3D is the best) to really immersed yourself into a whole new level of movie experience. Due to my other commitment, I will catch only next week (in IMAX 3D) and I will share my review here soon. 

As for the other new release, Runner Runner (Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck), it is considered a flop bearing in mind of its casts as it managed to claimed the third place with a mere $7.6 millions.

Gravity - Probably The Last Featurette With Real NASA Astronaut (Oct 2013)

Gravity will be coming fast and furious next week, I am pretty sure most of you are intrigued by the teasers, trailers so far and in awe of what you've seen (me too). 

Recently, Warner Bros released yet another featurrete focus on the IMAX technology as well as some feedback from the real NASA astronaut. As per the director, Alfonso Cuaron, it will not be a futuristic sci-fi but rather a sci-fi that is as close as the present time.

Gravity will be released in IMAX and IMAX 3D on 4th Oct 2013. Before watching the latest featurrete, check out the short synopsis below:

A medical engineer and an astronaut work together to survive after an accident leaves them adrift in space.

Gravity - New Featurette That Convince You Why You Need To Watch It In 3D or IMAX (Oct 2013)

In about 2 weeks' time, we will finally able to watch the presently most anticipated sci-fi, Gravity in big screens. With or without the latest featurette that I am about to share next, I will sure to watch it in IMAX 3D as I viewed that this is the kind of movie that will give you a totally different IMAX experience.

If you are still clueless about Gravity, fret not, check out my earlier posts below:

Gravity - The Heart Stopping Trailer

Gravity - The New IMAX Posters 2

Gravity - The New IMAX Posters 1

Gravity - The Intense And Mind Blowing Teaser Trailer

Else, you can just check out the following short synopsis of the movie (Gravity will be in cinemas on 4th Oct 2013):

Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone-tethered to nothing but each other and spiralling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Now, keep reading for the latest featurette and TV Spot.

GRAVITY - The Heart Stopping New Trailer (October 2013)

Occasionally, we will come across movie teaser or trailer that failed to fade away from our mind and ever since the first glimpse, we are screaming for more details until its release. GRAVITY is one such movie.

So far, rave and positive early reviews were surfaced online and offline, especially from those lucky few who have a chance to saw it first hand. Recently, the Avatar director, James Cameron, shared his opinion about the movie and following is from his own mouth:

"I was stunned, absolutely floored. I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time. What is interesting is the human dimension. Alfonso and Sandra working together to create an absolutely seamless portrayal of a woman fighting for her life in zero gravity."

Note: Even though James Cameroon did help out Alfonso Cuaron (director of Gravity) on the film but I am pretty sure that his comment is not far off. By the way, Gravity will be released on 4th Oct 2013 in IMAX 3D.

Gravity - The New IMAX Poster

Gravity, one of my most anticipated movie in Oct 2013 has been released with a new IMAX poster. For my earlier post on Gravity, click here. As per some positive comments surfaced on line, it will be out of this world's movie experience (literally). Top it with 100% rating on RottenTomatoes (one of the authority movie review site), it is one hell of the movie that everyone will be talking about from now till its release.  

This is the kind of movie that once you've watched any of the earlier teaser/trailer, you will have the urge of watching it in IMAX 3D, or at least in IMAX.

Gravity, the upcoming Sci-fi is in the news again. I must say that I am very captivated by the numerous teaser trailers released so far. For my earlier post on Gravity, click here.

 

Through the short teaser trailers, you can feel the intensity and the despair faced by the main casts (mainly Sandra Bullock) at the far far away space....the outer space!
