Journey To The Center Of The Earth

I had a good time watching "Journey To The Center Of The Earth" movie starring Brendan Fraser. It was another entertaining movie that I can recommend for everyone especially for kids. The special effects are awesome. Kids will think everything can be real. If you are looking for an adventure movie with mixed of fantasy/science fiction, this is the movie for you. Nothing much to think about that can move your imagination but simply for entertainment. My kids love it.
The Dark Knight brought a bright day to Warner Bros. today (Monday) as the studio began a final tally of weekend box-office receipts that it estimated on Sunday would reach a record of $155.3 million. If that figure holds up, the movie would exceed the previous record of $151.1 million for a three-day opening set by Spider-Man 3 last year. The movie also set a record for the biggest single-day gross for a movie ($67.9 million), the biggest midnight preview ($18.5 million), the biggest IMAX opening ($6.21 million) and the most opening theaters (4,366). Nearly overlooked was the fact that Mamma Mia!, which opened in second place with $27.5 million, also set a record for the biggest weekend gross for a musical. (The film took in an additional $26.8 million in its second week overseas.) Sliding to third place was the Will Smith starrer Hancock which earned $14 million. The overall box office itself set a record as the top 12 movies earned an estimated $249.6 million, far above the previous record of $218.4 million set at the end of the Independence Day weekend in 2006. The box office was up 70 percent over the comparable weekend a year ago.
The top ten films for the weekend, according to studio estimates compiled by Media by Numbers:1. The Dark Knight, $155.34 million; 2. Mamma Mia!, $27.6 million; 3. Hancock, $14 million; 4. Journey to the Center of the Earth, $11.9 million; 5. Hellboy II: The Golden Army, $10 million; 6. Wall-E, $9.8 million; 7. Space Chimps, $7.4 million; 8. Wanted, $5.1 million; 9.
