News: Night At The Museum Crumbles Competition At U.S. Box Office

I think everyone could have predicted this coming. Night At the Museum when it came out on Boxing Day a few years ago now was a massive hit, and releasing this pre-summer and in a usual slow period was good.

Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais and Ben Stiller are laughing their way to the top of the U.S. box office – their new film Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian has toppled the competition in its opening weekend (22-24May09).

The comedians co-star with Amy Adams, Owen Wilson and Hank Azaria in the film, which took in $53.5 million (£35.7 million) over the Memorial Day weekend.

The win was a shock for movie reviewers, who insisted Terminator Salvation – the fourth movie in the sci-fi franchise – was poised to take the top spot after scooping more than $13 million (£8.7 million) on its first day of release. But the film came in at second with $43 million (£28.7 million) in earnings.

The new Star Trek movie followed at third, with nearly $22 million (£14.7 million) in earnings and now boasting a three-week total of $183.6 million (£122.4 million).

Rounding out the top five are Tom Hanks’ Angels & Demons and new comedy spoof Dance Flick, which took in $21.4 million (£14.3 million) and $11.1 million (£7.4 million) respectively.

News: Bale: ‘I Don’t Want Four Minutes Of Fury To Overshadow Film’

I very much doubt that it will have an influence on the movies takings at the box office.

Christian Bale is speaking out about his infamous tirade on the set of Terminator Salvation because he doesn’t want four minutes of fury to overshadow the summer blockbuster.

An audio tape of a raging Bale hurling abuse at Terminator Salvation director of photography Shane Hurlbut was leaked online in February.

Bale blasted Hurlbut after the crewmember stepped into his vision to correct a lighting problem during a scene.

Bale has already addressed the leaked tape and the comments he made by calling into Los Angeles radio show Kevin & Bean on Kroq – and now he’s opening up in front of TV cameras.

In a new interview with news show Access Hollywood, he says, “You think about the numbers of days we shot on that movie – 77 days – everything going well. What’s being focused on is four minutes where I behaved bad.

“I didn’t want that to overshadow the hard work of everybody on the crew, in every aspect. So I felt like I had to say something.”

And he insists he has no thoughts about whether his on-set tantrum has changed the way people view him: “I don’t even think about that. I don’t really have an awareness of what anybody’s perception of me is, I don’t like to. I like being oblivious to that because it allows me just to get on with whatever project I’m doing.”

But he admits he does appreciate people like director McG and Michael Caine who spoke in his defence as the taped tirade hit the headlines.

He adds, “I very much appreciate the people who did say that… It still doesn’t excuse it, but I do appreciate it.”
