The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

*Still showing at the time of this post, except for The Hobbit - The Desolation Of Smaug, which will sure to go up one or two places, the rest of the positions should remain status quo. 

I am proud to share that I've seen all the above top 10 movies and many those outside the list too. What surprises me is that The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug is at the lower end of the list, I expect it will be at 8th position at the end but it is still not as a good position for such a mammoth size blockbuster movie, maybe most of the audience went Middle Earth-fatigue already? 

The other observation worth noting is that all the above-mentioned movies are in 3D or IMAX or both. 

Cheers!

2012 Summer's Top 10 Movies (US)

Summer is drawing to an end in the US and it's time to review which are the hottest movie during the Summer. Without a doubt, Marvel's The Avengers took and top place. In fact, it could jolly well be the top movie in 2012. 

So, which are the other 9 movies? Check out the list below. 

#1 - Marvel's The Avengers (USD 617 mil)

#2 - The Dark Knight Rises (USD 425 mil) - Still showing

If you noticed, out of the 10 movies, 7 are in 3D (i.e. except "The Dark Knight Rises", "Ted" and "Snow White And The Huntsman"). Thus, this is another proving trend that 3D is here to stay.
