New movies are produced every day worldwide; featuring big and small names, as well as new up-and-coming actors. Movies are all made with different budgets, which depend on varying factors such as the requirements of the film and the amount of money available. Plenty of films do make a substantial loss, but often they can make a significant profit. There is one thing that is rarely achieved and that is hitting the BILLION Dollar mark. 5. The Dark Knight – ($1,001,921,825).
This 2008 movie features Christian Bale as Batman, as well as Aaron Eckhart and Heath Ledger among other well-known faces in the supporting cast. The budget for this movie is estimated to have been $185,000,000. 4. The Pirates of the Caribbean – ($1,060,332,628). There are several films in this series, including At the world’s end, On stranger tides and Dead Man’s Chest. Out of all these, it is the Dead Man’s Chest that reached the billion dollar club. Its budget is estimated to have been $300,000,000. 3. The Lord of the Rings (2003) – ($1,129,219,252) This movie had an estimated budget of $94,000,000. Just like the Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings was a series of films and it was The Return of the King that proved to be the most successful and reach sales of over a billion dollars. 2. Titanic – ($1,835,300,300). The sole romantic movie that has made the list, produced with a budget of $200,000,000, Titanic, featured one of the highest paid actors of all time, Leonardo DiCaprio, in his biggest ever movie. 1. Avatar – ($2,080,093,323). Avatar is the only movie to have reached the 2 Billion dollar mark. With a production budget of about half a million dollars, Avatar was seen as a success in less than a week. Over six million copies were sold by 20th Century Fox in just four days of its release in USA.

If you are a child of the 90s you might have watched some of the great kung fu films. Today such movies are hard to find. The video libraries seem to get rid of the old movies and in the near future you may struggle to easily find a “Shaolin Temple” DVD. For those from the 90s generation, there are times when you need a good old kung fu film. Below are some of the top-rated kung fu movies of all time: 1. Drunken Master. This is probably one of the lowest budget movies that Jackie Chan ever acted in. As successful as it is, there are neither explosives nor guns involved. This is a movie you want to watch right to the end. Jackie Chan is sent to his uncle who teaches him kung fu as a punishment. He hates every moment of it, but when a renowned killer beats him up, he uses his new skills to get revenge. 2. Fist of fury. Also called the Big Boss. For those who have watched Bruce Lee movies, you must agree that none of his movies can be underestimated. This movie was released in 1971 and was a common household name. Bruce Lee promised his uncle that he would live a life free of violence, but all that changes when his cousins go missing. 3. Seven Samurai. This 1954 movie is one that you will not want to miss. The story, which will keep you hooked until the end, is about seven samurai fighters who are hired by a small village for their protection. A problem occurs when a group of bandits outnumber the samurai fighters and the only thing for them to do is to teach the villagers how to defend themselves. There are hundreds of these old films. Once in a while new ones come by, such as Forbidden Kingdom. If you’re looking for a great Kung Fu film, anything featuring Jackie Chan and Jet Li is sure to keep you entertained.

Save On Movie Tickets

Going out to the cinema to watch a film is becoming quite expensive due, in part, to the economic downturn. The prices for tickets and refreshments have all risen and, today, you would be lucky if you spent less than £10 on a night out at your local picture house. Here are a few ways to save on movie tickets. Avoid weekend nights. Tickets from Friday to Sunday nights are expensive because those are times when high attendances are expected. Opt to go on weekdays when the ticket prices are lower. Avoid online reservations. Making a reservation online can save you the time, but not always money. Online reservation websites sometimes charge you an extra fee for using their services. If you need to make a reservation online, have a look for coupon codes and vouchers. You can often find 10-20% off deals. Avoid the cinema. Leave the movie theatres and search for other means of watching the latest films. Search your local directories for preview screenings, movie nights in bars and pubs, and special events at colleges and universities. There are also often websites that saw legal screenings of films for free, or a small donation, and television channels sometimes show low-budget films before they come to the cinema. Register as a member. Becoming a registered member of your local cinema will help you save in the long run. Most cinemas, whether big chains or local art-house screens, offer you membership deals where you can get free tickets, receive a discount on refreshments and tickets, as well as other benefits. Wait until the movie is out on DVD. If you are patient enough to wait, then this is the way to go. Unless it’s a film that’s been made by your favourite director or stars your favourite actor, you can surely wait a few months until the DVD release.

2011 : Top Hollywood Earners
[Report Abuse]
Reason

allfilmtrailers
The competition in Hollywood is always high. You never know who has made the most money in a particular year until it is over and all the films have been released. A movie is brought out and you may think that some is going to earn the most money. But, before you realise, another blockbuster has been released and somebody else is edging up the list.
So, who made the most money in 2011 in Hollywood?
1. At the top of the list is the creator of Avatar, James Cameron, of the Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Unsurprisingly, he got to this position because of Avatar. He made $ 248 million out of the film. In addition to that he landed a $5 million deal for the toy licensing. As well as $4 million from previous film projects. That brings his earning total to a staggering $257 million.
2. In second place is Johnny Depp. His estimated earnings in 2011 were $100 million. He works exclusively with United Talent Agency. As you may notice the difference between Johnny's earnings and that of James Cameron is quite substantial. He was paid $40 million for starring in “Alice in Wonderland” movie and then $35 million as an up-front payment for “Pirates of the Caribbean”. He also received $20 million for acting in “The Tourist”, then $5 million from previous projects.
3. Third in the list is Steven Spielberg. A Director and producer with CAA. His 2011 earnings are estimated to be around $80 million dollars. $50 million of that was from consultation fees, $20 million from producing and directing “War Horse” and from previous projects he earned an estimated $10 million.
These are the top three 2011 Hollywood earners. We have only depicted earnings from films. Other incomes from investments are not included.

First dates are traditionally used as a way of getting to know somebody that you like a little bit better. Although, this is not 100% true today. Technology has done its part to quicken the process and made getting to know one another a lot easier. Due to the availability of mobile phones and the internet, most people nowadays only meet each other when they know literally know everything already. Because you already know so much about your date, meeting for a movie is a great idea. How to choose the best romantic movie? If you have ever fallen in love, you know that the beginning of a relationship is the part that you will never forget. For this reason, when considering the right film, you want to keep things positive and happy. You don’t want to watch something that will make either of you sad, scared or embarrassed. Before choosing the movie, have an idea of what you want to watch, and make sure you know all about it. It is a wise idea to watch a movie you have already seen before. This way, you will know what happens, and you won’t be taken by surprise and end up ruining a perfect evening.ou sad, scared or embarrassed. Get to know each other’s likes and dislikes. Many romantic movies are mixed with other scenes. Take for example “The Pirates of the Caribbean”. It is a love story that also contains scenes of adventure and comedy that anyone can enjoy on the first date. But this will only work if you both like Hollywood blockbusters. When choosing a movie, keep the other person’s passions in mind. One way to see what they like is to check their Facebook page, where people often list their favourite movies. Pick movies with good, positive endings. “And they lived happily ever after” is always a good way to finish a film, if you want to be in a good mood. This kind of ending will leave both of you smiling and in the right frame of mind to continue your date.

Disappointing Film Sequels
[Report Abuse]
Reason

It seems like every time a film does well at the box office, movie studio executives want to make a sequel, or even a prequel out of it to earn some extra cash. The problem is that it is sometimes tough to follow a really good film with another. Out of all the sequels that have ever been made, it is much easier to list the weakest than the good ones. Some of the worst movie sequels ever made include: Titanic II - The first Titanic film was one of the highest grossing blockbusters of all time. Titanic II did not even make it to the cinemas; instead it went straight to DVD. While most people saw the first Titanic when it was released, very few have seen its sequel. Saw III to VI - What started out as a horror movie with a refreshingly different plotline has become a redundant series of films. On the success of the first Saw movie, there have been 5 others made since, released annually. The plot has not been injected with new life since the first sequel and the originality of the movie has long disappeared. Sex and the City II - Millions of women, and some blokes too, around the world spent years following the love and sex lives of Carrie Bradshaw and co. during the television series’ many years. Once the show finished, a movie was made based with the same characters and actors. But, the second instalment of the film did not live up to expectations, despite the big budget, exotic location and designer clothes. Final Destination - All the sequels of this movie have been disappointing. The first few have done relatively well at the box office in terms of ticket sales. But, the movies have failed to introduce new stars like other teen horror movies (think ‘Scream’ by Wes Craven).

Must See Classics

While the world is donning 3-D glasses and soaking up the latest craze in cinematic spectacle, there still exist a few classics that will forever flicker without flashy special computer effects and a silly pair of outsized specs. Filmstrips embedded with the faces of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Liz Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and Humphrey Bogart that will always light up the silver screen. There was a time when movies reached out to an audience’s psyche, rather than their retinas. A time when space and time continuums didn’t need to be crossed to bring to light the essential truths. A time when a twirling umbrella being pelted with droplets of rain made you wish it were raining outside. An era where gentlemen reigned and women swooned accordingly. The empathy that surges through you during the cremation scene in the original Oceans 11 film can only be felt by watching the 1960’s crime caper classic. In the 1963 epic, Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor) dripped with jewels and eloquence, captivating audiences and the stunning Mark Antony (Richard Burton) by her side in a movie masterpiece that deservedly won four Oscars. The tailored suits and divine gowns remain the pièce de résistance they once were; Audrey Hepburn’s famous black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s designed by Hubert de Givenchy, went under the hammer for £467,200. Almost 70 years later, Fedora’s are now aptly named after Bogart, who ignored Hal B Wallis’ concerns that he’d look too much like a gangster when he wore it during the filming of Casablanca in 1942. Scripted lines from 1939 are still recited in 2012 - “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” –and express the same human emotions better today than they ever did decades ago. Movies that make us catch our breath, pulled us closer toward the screen, made us clutch the armrests and reach for the tissues have become the irreplaceable treasures of cinema that have to be seen – and seen again.

Movies to Watch!

There are some movies which are interesting to watch while others are just awful. There is a certain way that they (movies) should be experienced, they are best to be shared in groups and they almost always get better with age. If you like to enjoy your leisure watching movies then I suggest you check out these upcoming movies. The setting of these movies is out of this world and watching them will thrill you. Some of these movies include; Titanic 3D, The Descendants, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, War Horse and The Artist to name a few critics favourites. Needless to point out these movies are fantastic to watch. Most of them have hit the mark of film production and I don't think any of the above mentioned movies has fallen completely.
 The first of these is the movie The Ides of March. The movie, which came out in 2011, is a hit as it features two of the best stars of this era, George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. With the combination of the two stars the movie has turned out be a success and will always be remembered as one of the best. Following the movie ratings released last month, this movie got the highest percentage in terms of production and content. The film industry is trying to produce quality movies that transform your leisure into pleasure. So make an effort to get these latest movies and your holidays will not be alike again. With tens of movies releasing each week Viewers always get confused as which movies to watch and which not. And that is where trailer plays an important role. You don't have to watch movies that might make you feel horrible. But, if you are a movie addict, you cannot afford to miss the thrill, the suspense, the passion that accompanies the movie, so book your seat and sit back to enjoy.

Worst Films of the 2000s
[Report Abuse]
Reason

allfilmtrailers
Needless to say, there were some extremely great movies that came out of the period from 2000 to 2009. We got The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, and V for Vendetta, to name a few favourites. Some movies hit the mark, to be sure, but others fell completely short. Here are the movies voted by popular opinion to be the worst produced in that decade.
The first of these is Gigli. The movie, which came out in 2003, should have been a hit, as it featured two of the biggest stars of that time: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. It turns out that two famous people don't necessarily make a good movie. The movie flopped miserably and is really only remembered as one of the worst movies of all time.
Mariah Carey came out with her movie, Glitter, which was another total failure. It felt like a movie that only a little girl should enjoy, and yet we're not sure if anyone, even the little girls gave it a good review. It's a gaudier, glitterier version of something like Mariah Carey's life, and it's painful to sit through.
Not many people actually saw the animated sequel of the Titanic, yet it was created and ranks among IMDB's worst movies of the decade. It's a rip off of the original Titanic with the roles reversed and the character animated. The two main characters look suspiciously like Jack and Rose, and it's a shock that there weren't dozens of lawsuits filed.
Honourable mentions on this list go to Battlefield Earth (in which everyone looks like an alien version of Whoopi Goldberg), The Love Guru (racist and irreverent to the max), and Catwoman (Halle Berry wasn't even enough to save this movie). They're not so bad they're good, but they're so bad they're torture to watch. There are many more, but these are the ones to avoid at all costs.
