The Light Cycles danced within the Grid in enchanting bends of light as Tron: Legacy released at the #1 spot in US, as expected. How huge will it be? That is what the question really was. Well, it did better than last weekend's #1 movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. But neither did it shatter the box-office as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 did about a month back. To punch in the numbers, Tron: Legacy earned a robust $44 million at the US box-office in its opening weekend. These would have been good opening numbers for most of the movies, but with the production budget reported to be about $200 million, the distributor, Walt Disney Pictures, would be a tad disappointed with the opening. Hope the light will not fizzle out soon from this sci-fi flick. Warner Bros released their 3D flick of a completely different genre, Yogi Bear 3D, that grabbed the second place with $17 million. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader moved to third spot and has earned a meagre $43 million in its first 10 days at the US box-office, something that the first two movies of the Narnia series had managed in their opening 3 days itself! The Fighter had a wider release and moved to #4 place with the Golden Globe nominations for its leading actors and the Oscar buzz doing it no harm. But with 2010 drawing to a close, talks are already on for the much awaited releases of 2011. And the last week has been abuzz with trailer releases of some heavy summer flicks! For the lazy ones, do check out trailers of The Transformers 3, Thor and Pirates of the Caribbean 4. They are... to say the least... awesome!
