Turbo Is Not About Speed, It's About Dream (Aug 2013)

Turbo, DreamWorks Animation's latest 3D animation is not about speed, it is a movie about dream. We all have dreams (at least at some point of our life, we did ever have dreams). Some dreams might seem too hard to achieve or near impossible (initially) but Turbo is here to convince us that there is always POSSIBILITY as long as we keep our DREAM alive!

 

Directed by David Soren (his previous animation fame are Madagascar : Escape 2 Africa [2008] and Shark Tale [2004]) and voiced by Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti and Michael Pena. This feel-good animation set to warm your heart slowly but surely (from the speed of snail to the speed of turbo).  

 

Synopsis of Turbo (source: imdb.com):

 

All his life, Theo the garden snail has lived a slow lane life with dreams of speed at the Indy 500. Suddenly, a freak mishap gives him the ability to move at superspeed, which puts Theo and his brother at a failing strip mall. They are discovered by Tito, a goofy fast food worker, and his crew of racing snails, and a wild idea is born for Theo to race with his heroes in Indianapolis. Now, this gang of misfits are travelling to that city to dare pursue the impossible dream, which will require all of Theo's speed as Turbo to have any shot at achieving.

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2013/07/21)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 21st Jul 2013 (Sun).

It seems that US audience just can't get enough of horror movie. After the surprise hit of the low budget horror movie, The Purge a few weeks ago, The Conjuring took over and become the new big thing in the horror movie scene. With its minion size of budget ($13 millions), the Kaiju size of opening weekend ($41.5) is three-folds of its investment. I am pretty sure that Warner Brothers is laughing their way to the bank now! 

The other new release, Turbo (3D animation) performed decently at third place with $21.5 millions. However, same thing cannot be said for the surprise flops of the week, Red 2 (Bruce Willis) and R.I.P.D (Rest In Peace Department). Red 2 managed to open at the fifth place with $18.5 millions while R.I.P.D merely earned $12.8 millions on its opening weekend and not even at the top 5 of the chart. 

Now, enjoy the chart...
