Weekend Box Office - "Iron Man 3" was number one for the second week in a row with $72.5 million, Director Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" based on F. Scott Fitzgerald novel was number two with $51.1 million, and rounding out the top three "Pain & Gain" with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson brought in $5 million.
Opening this week, Director J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek Into Darkness" the second of a trilogy of reimagined Star Trek movies. The movie opens Thursday and promises to be bigger and better than the first in the series. They have already done bigger numbers in England and other International markets than the previous movie.
Due in large part to the success of "Marvel's The Avengers" and the fact that Disney, Marvel, and ABC television are one big happy family. The movie's director Joss Whedon has produced a new series for ABC "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." featuring Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson. This show follows the events of the movie and references Coulson apparent demise. I have great hope for this show, mostly due to Whedon's involvement in the project.
This is the week is the week for season finales, first up CW's hit show "Arrow" ends a successful first season. Instead of attempting to explain this action packed edgy show, I instead present the "sizzle reel" from the 2012 New York Comic Con.
"Doctor Who" ends another successful season with an episode that has created a whole lot of buzz with a simple title "The Name of The Doctor". There is a lot of speculation that this episode leads to the 50th Anniversary Special which premieres in England this coming November. We may get it a bit later. Here's the season finale trailer to fire your imagination.
