I’m Baaackk!

26 Oct

So almost four months to the day, I’ve returned to my blog.  With school and work, I was just finding less time to keep up with my writing.  The funny thing is that in my time away, I felt like something was missing and I think it was this…

I’ve gotten some emails over the last few months asking when I’d start writing again and to those people, thank you for remaining interested in what I do/have done. 

Probably a good thing I’m starting up again, because as all of us movie lovers know, awards season is right around the corner.  So, I’m back now, ready to go and I hope to hear from you all again!!

Weekend Box Office Results 7/18/10

18 Jul

Great word-of-mouth combined with a all-star cast, not to mention one of the smartest directors of the last decade, all helped to boost Inception to the top of this weekend’s box office.  Leonardo DiCaprio received his highest opening weekend numbers to date with the film.

The other new release, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, failed to win over viewers and couldn’t even bring in $20 million.  For a film that had a budget estimated at $150 million, the numbers are anything but promising.

Box Office Mojo’s Top 10 Box Office Estimates for 7/16-7/18:

1. Inception – $60.4 million
2. Despicable Me – $32.7 million
3. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice – $17.3 million
4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse – $13.5 million
5. Toy Story 3 – $11.7 million
6. Grown Ups – $10 million
7. The Last Airbender – $7.4 million
8. Predators – $6.8 million
9. Knight & Day – $3.7 million
10. The Karate Kid – $2.2 million
