This Is the Way the World Ends: Not With a Bang But With a $225 Mil Opening
Like a giant, runaway donut splatting a pedestrian fleeing unsuccessfully from the Grand Canyon-sized fissure where LAX used to be, 2012 has trampled the weekend box office. Roland Emmerich's shimmering love letter to mankind's inevitable and spectacular demise grossed $65 million domestically and an additional $160 million in foreign territories, giving it a grand total of $225 million for the weekend, and almost assuring it a spot in the top ten openings of all time. Come back later for our full box office report. [Variety]

James Cameron just ran to the bathroom, y'all.
More people watched a 'Kardashien' (whatever that is) get married last week than watched the excellent season ender of the amazing 'Mad Men'.
And this week, a movie who's tagline is "Keep in mind, this is a piece of crap" makes $225 million dollars.
Wow, weird world.
Interestingly enough, I just watched an interview with Cameron from right before Titanic came out- I guess that some people were speculating Scream's 39 million domestic opening was a bad sign for Titanic.
what kind of plane is that.?
Ilan.
I have mastered some considerations through your website post. One other subject I would like to mention is that there are many games that you can buy which are designed in particular for preschool age kids. They consist of pattern acknowledgement, colors, pets, and designs. These commonly focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This keeps children and kids engaged without having the experience like they are learning dedesmsf.
