Good week for entertainment releases!

The DVD will be released on November 18 and you can see the official cover above. Can't wait to buy this one!

Box Office Report

A disasterous movie weekend turns into a disasterous movie box office report.

No movie crossed the $11 million mark over this weekend - surprisingly, Babylon A.D. only managed to collect a shameful $9 million after it was expected to make at least three times that amount - the film grossed in that low amount most probably due to the fact that the film received hideous reviews from not only the director, but from critics everywhere. This one debuted at #2. Tropic Thunder remained at #1, while The Dark Knight reclaimed the #3 spot, grossing in another $8 million, its domestic total is currently a record-breaking $502 million - just $98 million away from Titanic's total! The film's worldwide gross stands at $883 million.

Other debuts this weekend include Disaster Movie which debuted at #7, making in an extremely dissapointing $6 million - hopefully this is the end of these damn parodies!

College came in at #15 making $2 million - this is one of the lowest debuts in box office history! On to better news though, with $217 million grossed, Wall-E has leapfrogged 1992's Aladdin as the sixth highest-grosing G Rated movie of all-time! Impressive stuff.

Box Office Report: New #1 and Summer's Biggest

We've finally got a new #1 this weekend. Tropic Thunder has topped the Box Office chart this weekend bringing in $26 million. Enough to send The Dark Knight packing to #2. This movie, however, is still grossing a lot more money that new movies like the new animated Star Wars flick. The Dark Knight pulled in $16 million to bring its amazing grand total to 471 million dollars - that's more than enough to make The Dark Knight the second highest-grossing film of all time in the US only behind Titanic which stands at 600 million dollars.

Now, instead of talking about the other insignificant debuts this weekend, let's do a short recap of this summer's huge movie hits and how much they've made. Firt up, Iron Man which managed to collect $317 million in 16 weeks - the DVD for this movie comes out September 30th. Can't wait to buy that. Next, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, flick that managed to make a great $315 million. Huge stuff. Will Smith's Hancock collected 225 million dollars and Disney Pixar's Wall-E has made $214 million so far. Finally, Dreamwork's Kung Fu Panda grossed in $211 million.

Huge summer hits, big numbers, great movies. For a full report, click here.

Weekend Box Office Report

Low #1 opening for a July movie - not to worry though, The Dark Knight is predicted to have the biggest opening of the summer next week. Can't wait. Well, that low #1 opening went to Hell Boy 2: The Golden Army. The film grossed in $35 million despite good reviews from critics. Very close at #2 we find Will Smith in Hancock, that film made another impressive $33 million on its second weekend in release, its now total is of $165 million. Another low opening was at #3, in which the Journey to the Center of the Earth opened with just $20 million made - not too far away from WALL-E at #4 which made $18 million this weekend, the film's total stands at $163 million. We're awiting the movie's release worldwide! Hope it's soon. To check out a full report, click here.

Box Office Report: Hancock is #1

Will Smith has made his way to the number one spot in the box office this past week (since its release on Tuesday) with his newest film Hancock which grossed in a great $107 million - despite bad reviews from critics ($66 million over the weekend). Close behind at #2 we find one of the best films of the year, WALL-E. The Pixar film managed to bring in another $33 million to its total of $127 million so far - which is more that impressive in just two weeks. It was a good fourth of July weekend at the box office overall To check out a full report, click here.

Box Office Report: WALL-E Goes to #1

That's right. As expected, Disney Pixar's WALL-E has taken the top spot in the Box Office this weekend making $62 million over the past few days. The film is the third highest debut for a Pixar film behind Finding Nemo (2003) and The Incredibles (2005) which debuted with $75 million each. If anybody wants to go watch WALL-E, all I gotta say is: Do it! The movie is incredible... perhaps one of the absolute best animated movies I've seen in a while.

Not too far at #2 we find Angelina Jolie in Wanted. The action-packed film managed to gross a great $50 million over the weekend, making enough for a #2 debut.

Hitting the Big Screen Today! (June 27)

The time has come! I've been talking about WALL-E for a while now and the film has finally hit the big screen. The Disney Pixar film was received greatly by film critics and is expected to make one of Pixar's biggest number one debuts. Let's see how much it brings in.

Another great film hitting theatres today is Wanted starring Angelina Jolie. This film has also gotten great reviews from critics and I guess I'm going to have to see two movies tonight. Check out the theatrical posters of each movie above.

WALL-E Opens Tomorrow To Amazing Reviews

I'm sure we all can't wait to go out and watch WALL-E as soon as it hits the big screen tomorrow (June 27) in the US. The Disney Pixar film has received near universal acclaim from film critics - and it has become one of the best-rated movies of the past times! Rotten Tomatoes, which are usually pretty harsh with reviews, reported that 98% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based upon a sample of 45 reviews. Furthermore, The Hollywood Reporter declared that with WALL-E Pixar had surpassed the achievements of its previous eight films, saying that the film had "all the heart, soul, spirit and romance of the very best silent movies" and that the filmmakers "punch across their terrific (and ecologically sound!) story by inventing a visual and aural language with which these robotic creatures can express a rainbow of emotions." He said the visual design was "arguably Pixar's best" and he praised Stanton's creation of "two fantastically imaginative, breathtakingly lit worlds" (a ruined Earth city and a human spaceship). Again, WALL-E opens tomorrow June 27th and it is expected to make a massive box office debut over the weekend. I Can not wait any longer to watch this!

Weekend Box Office Report: The Love Guru Flops

When a movie is bad, you just know it. Despite having a massive amount of promotion over the past three months, The Love Guru starring Mike Myers, Jessica Alba and Justin Timberlake only managed to collect an extremely dissapointing 14 million dollars on its opening weekend, debuting just at #4! Sad. The movie that did make a high debut at #1 was Get Smart, which pulled in a great $40 million, this movie actually had little promotion compared to that of The Love Guru, yet it made quite a nice debut on top.

Moving on to #2, we find Kung Fu Panda, film that on its third week collected $21.7 million for a total of $155 million so far - impressive.

The Incredible Hulk falls to #3 collecting 21.5 million dollars on its second week for a total so far of $96 million. Not bad.

One film did cross the $300 million dollar mark this weekend, and that's Iron Man - which was released last month to a huge opening and on its eigth week, the film now stand at $304 million thanks to the extra $4 million that it grossed this weekend. Now, get ready for this: The film's total worldwide stands at an incredible 555 million dollars! Oh, but that's not the biggest numbers we found this week. Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has collected a ridiculous $650 million worldwide so far. Unbelieveable!

Next week comes Disney Pixar's Wall-E which is expected to debut with big numbers as well. Can't wait for that one.
