Skyfall becomes the highest grossing film in The Uk-Avatar eats the dust
via glooce
Before we get into this, a caveat: James Cameron can probably sleep soundly in his bed for a while yet. The only place in which Skyfall is bigger at the box office than Avatar is the UK. But that’s no mean feat in itself, given that Avatar was, until this week, the highest-grossing movie of all time at the UK Box Office.
Sorry, I’ve said that backwards. What I mean is, Skyfall is now officially highest-grossing movie of all time, in the UK, having taken a whopping £94,277,612 (somewhere in the region of $152,000,000) in just 40-odd days, and it’s still on general release.
Avatar, on the other hand, managed to gross a relatively paltry £94,025,632 in 11 months. Barely worth getting off the sofa for, really.
Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the film’s producers, told Film3Sixty: “We’re overwhelmed with gratitude to the cinema-going audiences in the UK who have made Skyfall the highest grossing film of all time.
“We are very proud of this film and thank everybody, especially Daniel Craig and Sam Mendes, who have contributed to its success.”
“I am incredibly proud of the amazing heights to which this film continues to soar and wish to again congratulate all involved on reaching such a tremendous milestone,” said Gary Barber, Chairman and CEO, MGM.
Peter Taylor, Managing Director, Sony Pictures Releasing UK, added: “It seems particularly fitting in 2012 that the latest James Bond adventure should become the highest grossing movie ever, marking the fiftieth anniversary of one of our truly iconic cultural characters in record breaking style.”

Via Glooce
Box Office Mojo released the weekend totals on Sunday, "The Avengers" earned $1.7 million pushing the US Domestic Gross over $620 million and the worldwide total to $1.501 billion.
Disney and Marvel Studio's "The Avengers" hit $1.5 million on Sunday, thanks to an unexpected Labor Day Weekend re-release and marketing push. Disney increased the theater count to 1,700 on Friday, exploiting the long holiday weekend to push the superhero blockbuster over huge milestone.
Box Office Mojo released the weekend totals on Sunday, "The Avengers" earned $1.7 million pushing the US Domestic Gross over $620 million and the worldwide total to $1.501 billion.
"The Avengers" was already the No. 3 film of all time behind "Titanic" ($2.2 billion) and "Avatar" ($2.8 billion), both from filmmaker James Cameron.
The Joss Whedon directed film has been a massive success, credited with Disney's recent announced profits. A sequel will be written and directed by Whedon, arriving in theaters in 2015 as the climax to the next phase of Marvel superhero films.
Labor Day is not included in that tally as the release of the Blu-ray/DVD is set for September 25 with 30 minutes of additional deleted scenes and featurettes.
"Avengers" stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Chris Evans as Captain America and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

Robert Pattinson's Cosmopolis Tops Specialty Box Office
via Glooce
Robert Pattinson jokingly urging his legion of fans on “The Daily Show” to go out and see Cosmopolis, in an effort to give it a bigger opening than The Dark Knight, seems to have worked — sort of.
Although the film only played in three theaters in New York and L.A., Cosmopolis had a gross of $72,300 ($24,100 per theater), helping it top the specialty box office, with the best average of the weekend.
That number far surpassed other limited releases such as the Frank Langella-Peter Sarsgaard film, Robot & Frank, which opened in two theaters in New York and L.A. and grossed $38,234 (per theater average of $19,117).
And Compliance opened in only one theater, and grossed $16,000.
