Once again FAME stays on top, beating Ricky Gervais for the number one position. 3D films continue to take a lot of money, including the reissue of TOY STORY in 3D. I saw this in Venice and think it's the best 3D so far. Incredible that a 15 year old kids' movie can take over a million quid in a marketplace filled with children's product. That's PIXAR for you. Good to see DISTRCT 9 cleaning up, five weeks after release.
The other new release this week, PANDORUM, seems better suited for a straight-to-video release, and frankly didn't deserve even the palrty £350K it took. And then something as classy, smart and engaging as ARMY OF CRIME takes a tenth of that. Oh well.

Ah, but will Fame "live forever"?! (Sorry! Couldn't resist!) That District 9 has been out a while and STILL takes more than Pandorum speaks volumes. We Sci-Fi Geeks were due a Pandorum after D9 and Moon... I was won over by Dr. K's review of Army Of Crime and so hope to see it on Wednesday (on a RUBBISH shift rotation at the moment!)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you FURTHER labouring the point that you are right and I'm wrong about 3-D! A bit annoyed that CineWEIRD is intent on charging me EXTRA to see a 3-D Movie on top of my "Unlimited" Card...
If Gervais's (or is it Gervais'?) next film is The Emperor's New Clothes, I wouldn't be surprised... I'll leave it at that...
