Pirates Shot in Hawaii

The fourth Pirates movie is set to film in Hawaii in April, giving the film the greenlight as well. The Fourth Pirates movie seems to be moving out of the rmour mill and actually becoming a serious real flick. Can't wait.

Spider-Man Zips off, Thor & Pirates Move

Spider-Man 4 was announced yesterday to have troubles with the script, putting it's May 6, 2011 date in jeopardy. Thor has moved up to that date. Plus, Pirates 4 has moved up one week to where Thor was. I don't think Spider-Man 4 will make it into 2011. 2012 perhaps?

This is quite a development. I'll keep an eye on this one.

Rob-ing The 7 Seas

Rob Marshall (above) is about to release Nine, but he may have his next project picked out too: Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Despite Dick Cook's outing, Johnny Depp seems on board. In fact, from what I'm hearing, if he stays he can pick the director which is why we're getting such an usual choice for the new Pirates film. I will be interested to see how this works out.

New Moon a Boon, 2012 Holds, Blind Side Comes To the Front, Precious as Ever and Disney Caroling to the Bank!!

New Moon made 140 million dollars this weekend, the 3rd biggest weekend ever, beating Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest for that honor. IT also made 36,000,000 dollars at each of it's 4024 theatres. New Moon also holds the not so good honor of the 2nd time that half of the money it made in 3 days came from Friday alone.

Meanwhile, The Blind Side made 34.3 million, a sum no one expected. 2012 held well, with 26 million. It has grossed 108 million now.

Precious made 11 million and went up 120.2%. This is quite a rare thing, so congrats, congrats. Finally, A Christmas Carol has made 79.7 million, on par with The Polar Express at this point.

The weekend overall made 248 million, the 2nd biggest weekend ever.
