TDKR at the box office

So far, TDKR has earned $835 mil. at the box office worldwide, $390 mil. in the US and $445 mil. in other countries. AFAIK, it's the first movie in the trilogy that's tracking better abroad. Who knows why. Maybe because of the Aurora shooting? Maybe the movie just isn't American people's cuppa? No idea.

All in all, I'm just happy that it's doing so well. I'm not a big fan of the previous 2 movies but I love this one. Yes, because of Tom Hardy and JGL and Marion Cotillard... It felt like watching an Inception AU and it was glorious! I hope we will get to see Tom Hardy and JGL in a movie together again. Maybe Chris Nolan could come up with something marvelous again and bring back his usual cast and crew? *crosses fingers*

Oh, my mom's making fun of my tracking the movie's box office success - yeah, she pretty much LOL'd at me whenever I reported to her gleefully how well The Avengers were doing. I mean, I don't get one dollar out of its success but I'm happy for the cast and crew! When there's a movie I love, I want it to do well because that means the actors will prove to be a box office draw and get more offers to choose from! And that means I'll get to see them in something new soon!

Trailers

Oh, completely forgot to mention what trailers I saw last Saturday, while waiting for The Bourne Legacy!

First, there was the trailer for Lawless, immediately followed by a trailer for Premium Rush which gave me the giggles, seriously. A trailer for Tom Hardy's film followed by one for JGL's? LOL! It made me very happy, I might have even done a little jiggle in my seat, much to the amusement of my friends.

Premium Rush still looks great. Lawless on the other hand... The trailer doesn't tell you much, it's rather confusing and hard to figure out against whom the brothers are actually fighting. And from the Cannes reviews, it looks like the movie got really screwed by editing in post-production. Also, I didn't expect so much focus on Shia LaBeouf, to be honest. I think I will see it - as long as Tom Hardy's character has his happy ending - but not in the cinema, I don't like period movies much. But yay for Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman's 3rd movie together!

Then I saw the trailer for Skyfall. Well. I loved the first one, the teaser-like trailer. This one... So, Bond's once more burned out? Eh. That kinda stole my excitement, to be honest. I will go and see it in the cinema, it's Bond after all. But I expected something... more, I guess.

What I liked MUCH more was the trailer for The Expendables 2! That one looked really, really good. Action, crazy stunts, humor! I might go and see it with my friends!
