2012 a Hit at the Box Office
The end of the world as we know it
The world is going to end again. 2012 is creating the kind of fear in people that the turn of the century created last time. Im not really sure exactly how rumors that the world was going to end or that we could expect the Second Coming of Christ began, but they were everywhere and even easier to find than money lenders.
Computers would all stop, worldwide, when the clock struck Jan 1, 2000. Since that end of the world is done, it’s time for the next end of the world, 2012.I thought I didn’t know anyone who believes the world will really end in 2012, but I’m hearing more and more people who do.
2012? pulls in the big bucks
The film 2012, which stars John Cusack and details the upcoming apocalypse, beat out all of the other films in theaters in terms of ticket sales over the weekend. Since “Pirate Radio” was only realeased in a couple hundred theaters, the only real new movie release was 2012.
2012? made $65 million, pushing Disneys A Christmas Carol from the No. one place moved to # 2. George Clooney’s Men who Stare at Goats came in third for ticket sales at $6.1 million. Precious, a Tyler Perry/Oprah project expanded and did well, snagging the No. 4 spot with $6.1 million. Amazing really, since “Precious” is showing in only 200 theaters. Michael Jackson’s This Is It still remains in the top 5.1 million.
More about 2012?
The Mayan Long Count calendar comes to an end on Dec. 21, 2012. On that calendar, this is actually the year 5125. Theories abound as to the relevance of the 2012 date. Others say it marks the apocalypse.
2012 is a disaster flick. The Mayan calendar is said to end on December 21, 2012. That’s where the storyline comes from. We have to remember that 2012 is not a prediction of the end of the world, just a ticket-selling, money-making movie.
Box office top 10
Amazingly, despite horrible reviews, both Fourth Kind and Couples Retreat did well at the box office, coming in sixth and seventh place, respectively. Couples Retreat is still up there, pulling in viewers. After 5 weeks in theaters. 8th place was “Paranormal Activity”.
Paranormal Activity cost a mere $11,000 to make but made more than $4 million this weekend alone. It has made more than $100 million to date. The 10th box office moneymaker is “Law Abiding Citizen at $3.9 million; The Box was next pulling in 3.2 million.
