The weekend figures hardly held my interest. Takers, a tale on a group of bank robbers, narrowly edged out The Last Exorcism to top the weekend box office while The Expendables dropped to third. The most interesting thing to watch was the re-release of Avatar. Why, you may ask. No clue. Give the fans nine additional minutes of unreleased footage, maybe. The $4 million that it earned during the weekend helped it to cross $750 million on the US box office. For those who still have no clue about its worldwide collections, it stands at a pretty cool $2.7 billion. That is way ahead of the previous No 1 - Titanic with $1.8 billion.
The other notable stories include Toy Story 3 crossing $1 billion in worldwide box office collections, making it just the seventh Hollywood movie to do so (and second of the year after Alice in Wonderland), Stallone expressing his interest to cast Bruce Willis as the villain for the sequel to Expendables (if Schwarzenegger is in it, then I am watching) and the trailer release of Oscar winner Danny Boyle's latest movie, 127 Hours (weird trailer, but worth a watch).
