Nothing better than when a deserved film gets rewarded at the box-office. And this week, arguably the best movie of the year got that distinction. Disney and Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 3′ has just crossed the coveted $1 billion mark at the box office, making it not only the highest grossing animated movie ever but the [...]

This isn’t a blow to Fox at all considering ‘Avatar’ is the highest grossing movie of all time by a mile, but is definitely of note. James Cameron prepared a special edition of ‘Avatar’ with more than 8 minutes of new footage for limited release in 3-D once again. The industry had pegged it to [...]
‘How To Drain Your Dragon’ Is Now DreamWorks’ Biggest Non-Shrek Movie

I guess the lesson here is that if you make a quality movie, audiences eventually take notice. It takes time, but the result pays off. DreamWorks’ animation ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ has now become the highest grossing DreamWorks Non-Shrek animated movie. It didn’t always look this way. The movie opened to a weak $43 [...]
‘Prince Of Persia’ Now Officially The Highest Grossing Videogame Adaptation Of All Time

If there’s one movie that I definitely felt bad about it disappointing at the box office, it’s ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’. It was an immensely fun movie, more so than any other summer movie to date. But it bombed in the U.S. but fared better internationally to cover the $200 million budget. [...]

I wonder how drastically different the movie landscape would have been this year if ‘Avatar’ hadn’t existed. One big change would definitely be the box-office gross of Tim Burton’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Coming off the 3-D hype from that film, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ has now crossed a billion dollars in worldwide receipts on Thursday. ‘Alice’ [...]

No matter now insignificant this may sound, it’s actually the first for any Bollywood production in history. Hrithik Roshan’s actioner ‘Kites’ was released worldwide on 21st May, including the U.S. And for the first time, the Bollywood film charted the Top 10 at the box-office there. Besides being a big hit back in India, ‘Kites’ [...]

Kicking off the summer season, ‘Iron Man 2′ launched a full week before it’s U.S. release in most foreign territories including the UAE this Thursday. The idea was to take full advantage of the box office before the FIFA World Cup kicked off. And it definitely paid off. BoxofficeMojo reports that ‘Iron Man 2′ earned [...]

History has been made. After nearly 13 years, ‘Titanic’ has sunk again. ‘Avatar’ has beaten it to become the new highest grossing movie of all time with a mammoth worldwide total of $1.85 billion and counting. Titanic’s previous record of $1.84 billion was just beaten today as foreign and U.S. tallies came into the picture. [...]

I’d like to see responses from everyone who said ‘Avatar’ would end up being a flop. We all expected James Cameron’s epic to be big but this is phenomenal. The movie has passed the $1 Billion mark in worldwide receipts making it not only the fastest movie to reach that mark, but also the fourth largest [...]
