The Oscar nominations are coming out Tuesday, and I’m hoping that “Up” will get a Best Picture nomination. Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep will definitely pick-up Best Actress nominations. And there’s a slight chance that “Julie & Julia” or even “The Blind Side” could get a Best Picture nod. “Avatar” will probably get a Best Picture nomination, but I’m hoping it doesn’t. Even with all that money spent and all that money made, it wasn’t one of the best 10 films of ’09.
On to the BOX OFFICE…
“Avatar” wins again with $30 million. After it’s first three days back in December, the film had only made $73 million, which I thought was a disappointement, but really bounced back and is only $7 million away from being the highest grossing domesticate film of all-time, and is already the biggest film worldwide of all-time. And I gave it a C!
I was suprised and glad that “Tooth Fairy” hung on at fourth place this week with another $10 million. This could be because of word of mouth, and that no new family films came out this past weekend. I was disappointed, however, that “Extraordinary Measures” dropped out of the Top 10 after only one week. If you have the chance, please check it out before it leaves your area. It’s very good.
