Gday, the good lids of the Forums.
Hollywood ebbs and flows like the shifting sands of the Sahara, and it seems the humble Blockbuster, lurking in and around our cineplex's since it was reinvented by the New Wave has donned it's spandex and cape and this Summer is now being referred to as 'Super Hero Summer'.
Here's the list of the domestic results this year, thanks to our good friends at http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2011&p=.htm
The Hangover from the First Hangover seems to have driven the sequel to be the biggest film of the year so far. Pirates keeps on finding buried treasure, even though they've shed the Poms and picked up a Spaniard. Fast Five shows just how low we've sunk as a species while the long awaited Thor slots into Fourth. I'd expect XMen: First Class to steam over the top of the Norse Love God and hopefully take the shiny, yet gruff Vin down over the next few weeks. The CGI love in has amalgamated together into a pixellated grey melange topped by Kung Fu Panda 2, which should put some breathing room between it and it's brothers. Rio, Rango and Hop all did the same kinds of numbers, which has shown the deluge of offerings is still profitable with the grand exception of one film.
It seems that Mars needs moms, but Earthlings don't need Mars' Moms. It was a spectacular failure, and is one of the very few films that has actually bankrupted the Studio that produced it. Robert Zemekis was one of the most well rounded film-makers of his generation, using the latest in effects driven pictures. Running the race of being Jim Cameron's nemesis during the nineties, he has effectively put the nail into the coffin of 3D 'Mo-Cap' (realistic motion/performance Capture) carrying an entire film. It's the dead eyes. Imagemovers, renamed for the Digital age when it was acquired by Disney, subsequently was Terminated by its parent after one of the biggest mis-steps in filmic history. It has been swept under the rug a little, but it's well on par with the fiasco that was Heaven's Gate.
Green Lantern should prize itself off this list before too long, but the same numbers from the equally as fantastic looking Captain America, and it will be up to Nick Fury to pull the team together. Plenty of stinkers on there.
Here's the opposite. You'll notice the third most profitable film is Australian. You'll also notice that Saw was written, directed, and yes, produced, by Australians. Move along.
Here's the all-time list. Of All time. Ever.
and finally, here is the list of the Biggest Budgets of All time.
