Weekly Box Office Movies in Singapore And Malaysia (Ending 2012/11/04)

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)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 4th November 2012 (Sun).

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.

Disney Bought LucasFilm For $4 Billions [News]

Good news for the Star Wars fans! The 7th episode of Star Wars franchise is being committed and announced during the official announcement of LucasFilm being acquired by Disney for a hefty $4.05 billions (in cash and stock). But the fans have to wait for awhile though as it was slated for 2015 release.

George Lucas, current CEO of Lucasfilm, the production company that brought us the popular Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, quoted as saying :

“I’m confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come.”

Weekly Box Office Movies in US (Ending 2012/10/28)

Here are the TOP 5 Movies from US for the week ending 28th Oct 2012 (Sun).

SPECIAL NOTE : What a surprise and rare scenario! Argo (Ben Affleck) claimed the top spot on its third week in the box office. It has received rave review and good words of mouth. So, it has proven once again that great and intrigue story-line goes a long way. 

The other new release, Cloud Atlas (Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving etc..) was a disappointment at 3rd place. An ambitious story-telling concept that integrate 6 different stories into one and the characters (from different stories) are intertwined with each other. The best part (or the confusing part) is that the same actors/actresses are playing different characters in the  different stories.  

The Hobbit - Giant Gollum Statue At Wellington Airport, New Zealand

If you are going to or already in New Zealand, do pay a visit to Gollum (the key character/creature from The Lord Of The Rings and upcoming prequel, The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey). Recently, a giant Gollum statue has been installed in the Wellington Airport, New Zealand (by WETA).

It looks so freaking real and cool!

Not too sure how long it will stay there but I believed it will be there until the release of the movie in Dec 2012. Thus, if you are a fan of Middle Earth franchise, go experience yourself at the airport and snap, snap, snap (photo)!
