Avatar Movie Poster

“Avatar” holds on to the number 1 spot at the box office despite a big Christmas opening for Robert Downey Jr.’s “Sherlock Holmes” and the box office had it’s highest total in quite some time. 

Over the 3 day weekend, people bought about $278 million in tickets, which was more than the $261 million that the box office made when “The Dark Knight Returns” opened.  It just shows, despite the bad economy, people want to go to the movies and be entertained.

1. Avatar: $75 million

2. Sherlock Holmes $65 million

3.  Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 $50 million

4.  It’s Complicated $22 million

5.  Up In The Air  $11 million

“Nine” only made a little over $5 million.  “Avatar” has taken in $212 million domestically. 

The industry is expecting the business to continue through the next weekend.-Dr.FB

Yes! Yes! Yes!  Johnny Depp has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for the 2nd time. 

The real man’s man who is also a man of the ladies as well.  Johnny joins other two time winners George Clooney & Brad Pitt. 

Other men on the list are Robert Pattinson, Bradley Cooper, David Beckham, Ryan Reynolds, Adam Lambert, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Dr.Funkenberry & Nick Cannon.

I think People made the right choice.  There is one last thing I want for Johnny Depp and that is an Oscar win in his future.  Congrats to Mr. Depp and being the man, the sexiest man, once again.

Did People make the right choice.?-Dr.FB

Spider-Mouse By Stephen Wacker Via Twitter

(P.S., this is a joke.)

Disney released Spider-Mouse to the world yesterday within hours after buying Marvel Comics. It was announced his villains would be the Donald Goblin, Scrooge Octopus, Goofy as the symbiont costume, and Minnie Jane Watson as his love interest.

We cannot confirm if Miley Cyrus will be the new Invisible Girl in the new Fantastic Four movie, but it is looking very likely.  We also hear that Zac Efron will be replacing Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man 3.

We also hear there will be a Spider-Mouse attraction at Disneyland and also activities such as trying on the Hulk’s shorts.-Dr.FB

(Again, this is a joke and not really happening. This is a tribute to Stan Lee, Joe Quesada, Stephen Wacker, Edward Greenberg and Stephen Christy.)

Whiplash By Marvel.com

Marvel.com released a drawing of Whiplash, who is being played by Mickey Rourke and the villain Robert Downey Jr. will be facing in Iron Man 2.

So is this what we will expect Rourke to look like when the movie comes out in 2010. Regardless, I am looking forward to this movie next year.

Are you?-Dr.FB

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. spoke with USA Today about his Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in Tropic Thunder as Oscar-obsessed actor Kirk Lazarus. “It’s so funny to me that the role is a guy who is an Oscar-seeking moron. His whole motivation is Oscars,” he says, “Irony is synonymous with pretty much everything that is going on.”
