4 New Releases Battle for top spot.TDKR #7 in the domestic & worldwide lists.

#1 & #2 -Jake Gyllenhaal starrer, End Of Watch ,tied with Jennifer Lawrence starrer ,House at the End of the Road ,with both earning $13million.
End of Watch is a cop-drama-thriller ,written & directed by Training Day writer ,David Ayer.Even though its a low budget movie ($7million) ,the opening collection is below average for a movie of its sort.EOW has been getting good reviews praising its lead actors ,Jake Gyllenhaal & Micheal Pena.The movie is currently rated at 85%.

House at the End of the Road ,like EOW is a low budget movie ($10million) but still its debut is below expectations.But the horror movie has been getting very poor reviews ,with many complaining its a very predictable movie with not much thrills nor horror.The movie is rated 13%.

#3-Coming very close to the top spot was ,Trouble with the Curve ,making $12.7million.The baseball themed movie , marks the return of Clint Eastwood to an acting role (2009's Gran Torino was his previous starring role).The movie also has Amy Adams & Justin Timberlake.Just like the top 2 movies ,TWTC too has a below average debut.The movie has been getting average reviews ,with many saying Clint Eastwood & Amy Adams' performances are the highlights of this predictable story.The movie is currently rated at 52%.

#4-Finding Nemo 3D ,made to #4 with $9.4million.This makes Finding Nemo the lowest grossing movie in the recent set of 3D converted animated movies.

#5-Resident Evil Retribution crashed from its top spot last week ,earning just $6.7million this week.Such a steep fall can be credited to the movies poor reviews and general lack of interest from the audience for the Resident series.The movie has made $33million domestically ,but has already grossed thrice its domestic gross overseas ,$103million ,bringing its worldwide total to $136million.

The 4th new release of the week ,Dredd , bombed at the box office ,making just $6.3million,coming at #6.The $50million movie is set to be a big disappointment.The reviews for Dredd has been highly positive .Many praised its violence & special effects and has a rating of 77%.
The critically praised movie,The Master made $5million in its 2nd week.The movie is slowly expanding to more theaters each week.Praised for its acting,direction and story ,the movie has a rating of 86%.

On its 10th week ,TDKR made $1.2million.So far it has made $$443million domestically ,ranking it at #7 in the domestic charts ,overtaking Shrek 2.The next target,for TDKR in the domestic list is Star Wars ,$460million.But it seems TDKR wont be rising on the domestic charts any more.
With $623million collection overseas,TDKR has made $1.066billion worldwide.This puts it #7 in the all time lists ,overtaking PiratesOTC 2.The next target for TDKR is Lord Of The Rings3 ,$1.119billion.Again,this seems to be another long shot for TDKR.

This week, we have 4 more interesting movies.Looper,Hotel Transylvania,Perfect Pitch & Wont Back Down.
My recommendation for the week is Looper.The action thriller has been getting rave reviews.Its rated currently at 92%.The mind bending tale stars Joseph Gordon & Bruce Willis.
Hotel Transylvania is an animated movie ,starring Adam Sandler.the movie failed to impress critics and will be more of a kids attraction.
Perfect Pitch stars Anna Kendrick and is about a college singing competition.
Wont Back Down stars 2 top actresses ,Maggie Gyllenhaal & Viola Davis and is about two mothers raising the standards of education at their local school.

Resident Evil & Nemo brings some relief to Hollywoods bad run.

1-Resident Evil Retribution made $21million on its debut.This is the lowest opening of the series (excluding the first part).Like the previous films ,Resident Evil 5 failed to impress the critics scoring just 30%.

2-The 3D version of Finding Nemo made $16.7million to land on #2.The critical and blockbuster Pixar movie released in 200

2 ,followed the current trend of having classics converted into 3D (Lion King,Beauty & the Beast).But it failed to meet expectations with its quite debut.

3-Possession made way for the new releases and slipped to #3 making $5.8million.Made at a budget of just $14million ,the movie has already made $41million worldwide.

4-Lawless made $4.3million in its 3rd week ,bringing its total to just $30million

5-Expendables 2 tied with ParaNorman for the 5th spot making $5.1million.The $100million has now made $238million worldwide (66% from overseas)

TDKR fell out of the Top 10 lists on its 9th week ,making $2.1million coming at #11.The Batman finale has now made $441million domestically,and currently at #8 in the alltime domestic lists.With the extra push from overseas collection ($617million) ,TDKR has now made $1.05billion worldwide,coming at #9 in the worldwide lists.

Meanwhile The Master,was released in limited theaters and set itself a record for per theater average ($145,949).The critically acclaimed movie will be expanding to other theaters this week.

The main attractions of this week are Dredd ,End Of watch ,and House at the End of The Street .Out of the 3 ,Dredd has been getting very good positive reviews and is currently rated 90%.
