$278M XMAS WEEKEND IS BIGGEST EVER! ‘Avatar’ Back On Top By Beating ‘Sherlock Holmes’; 3D Technopic Takes In $617M Worldwide; ‘Alvin Squeakquel’ Opens #3 – Deadline.com - http://www.deadline.com/hollywo...
Nathan Chase, Merry Xmas FFeeders - AJ and Chatsohbet liked this
"It's official: 20th Century Fox's week-old Avatar fell behind Friday, but was back on top Saturday, and easily beat Warner Bros' newcomer Sherlock Holmes for No. 1 this 3-day Christmas weekend in North American theaters. As usual, the Hollywood box office experts (who had predicted this to me last week but I doubted them) were right on the money. Avatar's take was $23.5M Friday and $28.5M Saturday for the $75M weekend with Sunday's estimate. As for Sherlock Holmes' numbers, the Guy Ritchie directed mystery thriller with Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law made $24.8M Friday and $22.5M Saturday for a slightly less than expected $66M weekend --though Sherlock is playing in 170 more theaters"

"Updated numbers from overseas for Avatar show James Cameron's big budget epic has made at least $212.2M domestic, $405M foreign (after taking in $145M from 14,844 screens in 108 countries this weekend), for a new cume of $617M worldwide. IMAX broke all its records as the giant format earned $12.1 million globally this weekend alone. Avatar's weekend result comes despite theater...

"The Weinstein Co's Nine was the miss of this weekend: only $5.5M after expanding into 1,412 theaters when Hollywood was expecting at least $9M. Seriously, who did Harvey think would see this very sexy (therefore very heterosexual) musical? Though it grabbed Golden Globe nominations, it can't grab an audience which may hurt it come Oscars. What a miscalculation, especially when many other TWC films were put on hold to focus on it. "

Dear FriendFeed... Merry Xmas... Love Johnny

Looking back on another year, my second Xmas with the Double Fs, I have come to appreciate the power and complete kickassedness of a lot of you here. For me, putting aside one's personal spiritual persuasions, Xmas is about taking stock of the ones you know and the ones you hold dear. This year has been hard for a lot of us. Some of us have battle personal tragedy. Some of us have battled financial stresses. Some of us have battled illness or disease... some continue that battle and you are in our thoughts. The year kicked off in spectacular fashion with the birth of Audrey Moskovitz. I have enjoyed watching her grow and I have also enjoyed watching the growth of Akiva and Rochelle as they experience some of the things those of us with kids have experienced. I have forged strong friendships. I have built on existing ones. I have lost some as well. The fact that I have a wonderful friend in Mr Josh Haley is a true blessing and a gift that lasts longer than one day. He truly is the Yang...

"While most actresses her age are calling their surgeons, Sigourney Weaver is top of the bill again in sci-fi spectacular Avatar without a nip or tuck in sight. Her secret? A bit of light gardening at the weekends... It should have been every actress's dream: jetting off to the wilds of New Zealand with James Cameron to film what is being described as the most expensive movie ever made. For Sigourney Weaver, however, taking part in the sci-fi movie Avatar presented a rather more mundane dilemma - what to do about her teenage daughter, Charlotte. 'She was applying to colleges at the time, and leaving almost killed me,' she says. 'I was a b****, because I made her do all the essays and applications before I left. I made her life miserable. It's tough being away; it never gets easier.'"

"'When I asked my mother if I should become an actor, she said, "No dear, they will eat you alive." I don't think she meant to be critical. I think that was just her way of making sure I didn't get a big head - that's a very English thing. 'I actually dreamed of being a stage actress like her - doing Shakespeare - I never imagined myself in movies.' And while some actresses complain about the lack of roles for women of a certain age, Sigourney continues to be in demand. "

Mathew, I understand that, but there are ways that films can leave you wanting more of the story by leaving a bit off, but 300 didn't have much choose in leaving a little bit open even just to mentally imagine where the story could lead, which is one of the things that I love about a truly great story, it can leave you wanting and the continuation never has to come.

I hate being led on by Hollywood and their incessant need to not complete a story. Especially something genre-y, or from comic books. Only made worse when the initial film tanks, and there is no sequel, and it feels even more incomplete as a movie. But that's the movie business for you.

I meant incomplete as so far as the story could continue even if the film's story is complete. Think about The Lord of the Rings, there is a life for the characters after the main arc is over, the characters could actually go on to have adventures together or by themselves. It provides room for your imagination. 300's ending just leaves the 3033 charging off to another battle where most...

- Jimminy Fuller
There's a difference between ending a movie with a setup for a sequel and leaving a movie open-ended. One is a blatant setup for studios to cash in, the other is trusting the audience to either imagine further stories or interpret the ending as they see fit. That's what Jimminy's talking about, I think. Most of my favorite movies are open-ended to some degree - I dislike it when the filmmakers feel like they need to connect all the dots and tie off every conceivable loose end for me.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Thanks, Jandy. I think you expressed my point much more succinctly than I myself did.

Iron Man, hands down. I do not like Frank Miller's writing at all, and while 300 was pretty, it was insanely dumb. Iron Man, on the other hand, didn't try to be more than it was, and certainly had better writing throughout. But that's just my two cents. :P

T, I found Sin City to be less obnoxious and better written...although at times over-written.

But I would have to say that 300 looks far prettier and much sexier than Iron Man. :P
- Jon, the Chilled Beartato
300 for me. It was just so different from everything before.
- Alex Scrivener
300, definitely. Iron Man was really good, but 300 is easily better in every way.
- Jason Huebel
300 even gave the straight boys #instaboners. I still say Iron Man is the more complete movie.
- Derrick
Actually, 300 made me laugh, in a way I usually do when being presented with someone else's repressed gay fantasies. (The Spartans *didn't* practice pedastry? Really?)

I laughed some during 300 as well. But I laugh a lot at over the top movies, because the overthetopness is just so crazy and fun. Especially Crank.

Watched "Go" for the first time in nearly 10 yrs. It's as funny as I remembered. When the Manny character is high and thinks the cat is reading his mind at Todd's apartment -- good stuff. I'd forgotten Timothy (Deadwood) Olyphant was the drug dealer. Moved up my #flickchart a bit as a result of the rewatch.

I gotta go with Clerks as it accurately describes an 8 year period of my life.

Clerks, absolutely.
- Nathan Chase
"Clerks" is a clever little movie. "Kill Bill" is a huge genera geekgasm.

BOURNE.

Casino Royale, by a hair.
- Christopher A Carr
Bourne. <3
- Colette
Bourne was great, but CR was a helluva reboot. Plus it has that scene where he emerges from the water....hmmm.
- Derrick
Bourne, just barely.

Casino Royale.
- Parth Awasthi
Bourne. Though if Casino was the first James Bond with Daniel Craig then it's the best James Bond so far.
- Kol Tregaskes
Bourne by a country mile. Casino Royale took that Bond spirit, jumped up and down on it, kicked it in the crotch, and then made a Bourne film anyway.
- Mark H
That Bond "spirit" needed a crotch-kicking.

ET wins hands down

Why would you go and ask me something like that, Flickchart?
- Kevin Fox
*whispers* I've never seen E.T.

ET is a classic, but I really liked Wall-E.
- Will Higgins™
Wall•E.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'll repeat mine here. ET. I hated Wall-E
- Alan Simpson
Haha... wow. I'd stick with E.T. - Spielberg's great... Knows how to craft a film. Wall-E was good, but can't touch the family dynamic, feeling of empathy for the characters, John Williams's score, and beautiful special effects.
