Another strong third weekend for
Gone Girl starring
Rosamund Pikeand
Ben Affleck at this weekend's U.S. Box Office chart with
$17.8 Million (estimate) dropping to a spot to
#2 (though the new #1 movie,
Fury starring Brad Pitt, only made less than $25 M...whereas GG made $26+ on its second week at #1 last weekend) and a small
33% drop from last week! That's another impressive hold! Yay,
Pikemania continues...as it's another winning weekend at the domestic box office for
Gone Girl (as it crosses the
$100 million mark in just less than 3 weeks of its released!) and the lovely
Miss Pike! Its
17-day total for her biggest film to date is now
$107 million in domestic (with
$94.5 Million in foreign and over
$201 Million worldwide total)
! If you haven't seen this movie yet, go see it!
Here's the current
Top 10 US Box Office chart via
Collider...
This isn't by any means confirmed just yet by Warner Bros. Pictures, but since yesterday
Jena Malone has been all over the CBM news and today has been trending on facebook and various social media of her possible casting (with so many multiple sources reporting and some confirming...) for a
mystery role in
Zack Snyder's (director of her
Sucker Punch film)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (starring
Henry Cavill,
Amy Adams, and
Ben Affleck) film, which is currently filming right now.
Now, neither
Jena nor
Snyder have confirmed this, but speculations have been floating around of her
BVS casting when she recently dyed her hair red and posted the following photo two weeks ago on her Instagram account hinting to her casting in possible female Robin role with a quote from
The Dark Knight Returns (which BVS'
Batman character was inspired from):
Today (October 17th) is
Matthew Macfadyen's
40th birthday!
Matthew, best known to us
P&P Fans as
Mr. Darcy of the
2005 Pride & Prejudice film, was born David Matthew Macfadyen in Great Yarmouth, Northfolk, England, UK in
1974 (40 years ago today!).
Happy Birthday Matthew Macfadyen!!!
(Mr. Darcy!)
Some interesting
MM quotes talking about his iconic
Darcy role/character (while you watch an
MM Birthday tribute video...though in Spanish, but it included an English translation/subtitles below) worth re-posting again here...
I saw
David Fincher's
Gone Girl starring
Rosamund Pikeand
Ben Affleck last Friday, on its opening day, and I just posted my full
Film Review: Gone Girl in my other blog,
In The Mood For Movies, where I post my general movie reviews (of the movies I've seen in theaters). This was one of my most anticipated films to see this year. It was worth the wait and worth watching too (at least for me). I highly recommend you see this especially if you want to see
Rosamund in her first lead starring role in the current
#1 movie in America right now. You will be mind-blown by her amazing performance as
Amy Dunne in this movie. Go see it, if you can or get a chance, this weekend! It looks like it's going to top this weekend's domestic Box Office chart again for the second weekend in a row (but, of course, we'll find out tomorrow afternoon when BO results is released).
