T The Secret of the Scrolls. But don't let the critics fool you: if you, just like me, had a hunch this would be a good game, trust your instincts.2: 10. I enjoyed every second of it and intend to go back for more, after I finish the recent blockbusters. It's aimed to a younger audience, sure, but any adult (specially Tintin fans) will love this game.
We made a deal to do three Tintin.All Time International Box Office (Rank 201-300)All Time Worldwide Box Office (Rank 301-400)All Time Domestic Box Office for Digital Animation Movies (Rank 101-200)All Time International Box Office for Digital Animation MoviesAll Time Worldwide Box Office for Digital Animation MoviesSee the Box Office tab (Domestic) and International tab (International and Worldwide) for more Cumulative Box Office Records.December 21st, 2011 (Wide) by Paramount PicturesDecember 21st, 2011 (IMAX) by Paramount PicturesPG for adventure action violence, some drunkenness and brief smoking.3-D, Family Movie, Treasure Hunters, Pirates, Twins, Same Actor, Multiple Roles, Animal Lead, Addiction, IMAX: DMR, Motion Capture Performance, 3-D - Shot in 3-DParamount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Wingnut Films, The Kennedy/Marshall CompanyProduction and Technical Credits Ken KaminsBased on the comic book series "The Adventures of Tintin"The bold credits above the line are the "above-the-line" credits, the other the "below-the-line" credits.Blu-ray Sales: Muppets Find it Easy to be BluNew releases really dominated the Blu-ray sales chart taking the top four spots and five of the top six. The Adventures of Tintin 2 will incorporate two of Hergs books: Prisoners of the Sun and The Seven Crystal Balls. Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy are joined in some of the adventures by Tintin's good friend Captain Haddock, the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, and the absent-minded.
The best of the best was Happy Feet Two with 896,000 units / $13.43 million during its first week on the home market. This represents an opening Blu-ray share of very nearly 50%, which is an excellent start for a kids film.DVD Sales: Happy Feet's Debut Puts a Smile on Your FaceLike last week, new releases dominated the DVD sales chart this week with three new releases topping the chart. It sold 504,000 units and generated $11.09 million in opening week sales. In fact, it's would good for a visually impressive action film.The Adventures of Tintin led all new releases and took top spot on the Blu-ray sales chart. Its opening week Blu-ray ray share was 52%, which is stunning for a live action family film.
(This includes Wizards which arrived on Monday however, screeners need to arrive by Friday if I'm to get the review done on time.) Unfortunately, there's a lot of crossover among these two groups and a few Pick of the Week candidates are late. Speaking of late reviews, that's the other theme on this week's list, as there are no fewer than eight releases on this week's list where I'm waiting for the screener to arrive. There are no fewer than half a dozen Award Season players on this week's list, although one was a late review. The first is Awards Season.
This includes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was bumped up at the last minute and opened on Tuesday. There are six films opening or expanding wide spread over six days. However, in the end I went with The Descendants on Blu-ray Combo Pack.2012 Awards Season: Hugo and The Artist Compete for Oscar GloryThis year Christmas is a mess, when it comes to the box office. Other screeners I'm waiting for that could be Pick of the Week are Wallace & Gromit: World of Invention and the aforementioned Wizards: 35th Anniversary Blu-ray, while The Guild: Season Five was up for that honor as well.
It expanded into 16 additional markets, including a handful of major ones. In order to win, one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going over, will win a copy of Family Guy: Volume 9 on DVD.Whoever comes the closest to predicting the film's opening 3-day weekend box office (Friday to Sunday), without going under, will also win a copy of Family Guy: Volume 9 on DVD.Entries must be received by 10 a.m., Pacific Time on Friday to be eligible, so don't delay!Awards Season: Globes Reward Artistic IntentFor the first time in four weeks, we had a new number one film on the international chart, as Puss In Boots continued its climb reaching top spot. The second biggest should be The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, and since it should be the biggest new release of the week, it is the target film in this week's contest. The biggest hit of the week should be Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, but that opens tonight before expanding on Wednesday. While there are five films opening wide or expanding wide next week, only one of those is doing so on the Friday, but I don't think it will be the biggest hit of the week.
At the beginning of November, 2011's total box office was $340 million behind 2010's pace. With debuts in Italy, Japan, and other markets ahead of it, not to mention the Christmas holiday, it could double what it currently has internationally, which would lift its worldwide total over $400 million.International Box Office: Twilight Leaps Past Major MilestoneWell. ($3.07 million on 510) is quite stunning. Brazil is more of an emerging market than a major market, so the fact that it generated more revenue than its openings in either Australia ($4.03 million on 507 screens, including previews) or in the U.K. It was even more impressive in Brazil with $5.56 million on 738 screens, also including previews. The film's biggest debuted was Germany, where it earned top spot with $6.88 million on 680 screens, including previews.
This year, four are practically sure bets at $100 million, including one or two that could reach $200 million. But is there at least some hope for the next four weeks? Last December six films reach $100 million, including one that opened in limited release and expanded wide, but none reached $200 million. So now that there's virtually no chance that 2011 will avoid a year-over-year decline at the box office, not unless there's a surprise Avatar coming out this month.
But maybe if enough do, we can at least end the year on a high note. Even if every film beat expectations, 2011 won't come out ahead. Then there's a couple of limited releases that should expand wide and, maybe, if one of them becomes the big play during Awards Season, it could reach $100 million as well. I doubt all of them will reach the century mark, but if one did, it wouldn't be a shock.
Instead of talking about the box office record being broken, we are hoping 2011 doesn't end on yet another sour note.
