Has Brad Pitt ever been in Box Office Hit? I’m hard pressed to think of one – besides the Oceans series. Inglourious Basterds is on track to be the number one movie this weekend, pulling in an estimated $65.1 million worldwide and $37.6 million in the US. Not bad numbers at all for a film that didn’t have a huge marketing push. Quentin can buy himself a lot of crack with that money. Last weekend’s top film in North America, TriStar Pictures sci-fi thriller “District 9,” slipped to No. 2 with $18.9 million. After 10 days, the Peter Jackson-produced film has earned $73.5 million and “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” was also down one to No. 3, with $12.5 million. The three-week haul for the action movie stands at $120.5 million. Which reminds me I still have to post my Ray Park interview.
Had expected that "Interview with a Vampire" would be a top one, but it turns out that "Mr & Mrs Smith" is #109 with $186 million.
"Inglourious Basterds" is a World War 2 fantasy made up of "five chapters". Primary story is revenge for the murder of one's family. Lots of intense violence, loads of bullets & gore, and much overacting.
