Hollywood suffers yet another dull week.



Hollywood suffers yet another dull week.
[Mar1-3]

#1-Jack the Giant Slayer topped the box office with $28million.But the bad news is that this is way below expectations.This big budget movie was made at a whooping budget of $195million.The movie is heading towards a major disaster ,if it fails to spark interest in the overseas market.
The average reviews didnt help its cause either.With a rating of 52% ,the critics were satisfied with the lead actor ,Nicholas Hoult ,but its visual effects and dull story failed to impress.

#2-Identity Thief ,continued its steady hold with $9.76million.Identity has so far been the biggest hit of 2013 ,with a domestic collection of $107million and counting.

#3-21 & Over was another disappointment.The movie was a direct rip off Project X and barely made $9million.The movie got negative reviews ,and currently is rated at 31%.The similarities to Hangover & Project X and its predictable and lame jokes didnt fare too well with the critics.The movie is heading towards the Flop region.

#4-The low budget ,The Last Exorcism Part II failed to make an impact ,grossing just $8million.The movie has been getting negative reviews and is rated at 13%.The movie is said to be better than its first part but the bad reputation of recent hand held horror movies caused Part 2's failure.But with its small budget of $5million ,Part 2 has already made profit.

#5-Snitch had another poor weekend ,as it just made $7million.The Rock action movie has so far made $24million.

Meanwhile The Hobbit Part 1 has crossed the 1 Billion Dollar Milestone !The movie made $301million domestically and $700million overseas.This makes Peter Jackson the third director after James Cameron & Christopher Nolan to have 2 movies make $1billion.Jackson's epic Lord of the Rings finale ,Return of The King was his first movie to make 1billion.At that time (2003) Return of the King was the 2nd movie to cross the milestone ,Hobbit Part 1 is the 15th.

This week we have 2 interesting movies- Dead Man Down & Oz .But my pick of the week will be:-

Dead Man Down - A surprise pick this time.Dead Man Down has not got much marketing but it is directed by Niels Arden (director of the original Girl in the Dragon Tattoo) ,plus has strong leads in the form of Colin Farrell ,Noomi Rapace ,Terence Howard & Dominic Cooper.The story is an action-crime-revenge movie and the trailer was pretty good.So Dead Man Down is RJG PICK OF THE WEEK.

Oz The Great and Powerful- The possible winner among the two new releases is Oz.Directed by Sam Raimi and starring James Franco ,Mila Kunis ,Oz will be a direct pick for the family audiences.The visuals looks great.But i have a feeling it might be following in the steps of the dull Alice In Wonderland.My opinion ,is wait for the reviews before watching this one.

Kai Po Che rules 2nd week


Kai Po Che rules 2nd week

[Mar1-3]

Kai Po Che [HIT]

Kai Po Che continued its strong run in its second week ,demolishing the new releases.Based on Chetan Bhagat's hit novel ,3 Mistakes of My Life , and directed by Abhishek Kapoor of Rock On!! ,Kai Po Che has wowed the critics and audiences.
The movie has been praised for its acting and its beautiful friendship story.And it very well has become the first classic of 2013 for Bollywood!

In its second week ,Kai Po made Rs.11cr bringing its total tally to Rs.40cr.

[MUST WATCH]


The Attacks of 26/11 [Below Average]

Although the movie has been raking in above average reviews ,the audience were least bothered to  watch this movie.Based on the terrorist attack that took place in Mumbai on 2008 ,Ram Gopal Varma's movie captures the events that unfolded.The major criticism for the movie was its way of presentation which resembles a news type documentary rather than a movie.But the performances of the actors,especially that of Nana Patekar has been praised.

The movie barely made Rs.5.5cr on its opening weekend ,and is most likely heading towards another flop for RGV.

[One Time Watch]



I Me Aur Main [Below Average]

I Me Aur Main suffered from negative reviews but still managed to save some face against the new release with Rs.5.4cr.
Unlike 26/11 ,this movie has been trashed in almost every department.The screenplay was dull and even at 2hrs ,this one seemed to go on forever.The acting of John Abraham was as usual criticized.Chitra & Prachi were under utilized.

[SKIP IT]

NOLAN & BALE MIGHT BE BACK FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE!!



BIG RUMOR MAKING THE ROUNDS !!

NOLAN & BALE MIGHT BE BACK FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE!!

After the current Justice League plans were scrapped ,the whole movie was left in limbo and is entirely relying upon the success of Man of Steel. But latest reports (rumors) are saying that Warner Bros. have convinced Nolan to OVERSEE all their superhero projects ,as he did for Man Of Steel ! Nolan's involvement in Man Of Steel is already reaping excellent positive responses.

As for Bale ,he has said time and time again that he would return as Batman ONLY if Nolan was involved and now things might just work out!

With competition from Avengers 2 ,Justice League needs a giant boost ,and the likes of Nolan & Bale teaming up again for Justice League is nothing short of a miracle.

The proposed idea is to have Christian Bale reprise his role as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.

Even though im 95% sure ,this isnt going to take place ,the 05% in me is excited like anything!!!
