Will Smith ,happy on top of Box office

Will Smith’s new film is No. 1 with weekend moviegoers, if not with English teachers.

His rags-to-riches tale “The Pursuit of Happyness,” a rare foray into fact-based drama for the rapper-turned-comedian, sold about $27 million worth of tickets during its first three days of release across North America, distributor Columbia Pictures said on Sunday.

“James Bond” hits the jackpot worldwide

It seems that the new 007 is enjoying a momentum worldwide ,despite failing to debut at # 1 in America.

Reuter reported “With the $200 million mark expected to be reached Tuesday, “Casino Royale” appears well on its way to becoming the best ever of the 21 James Bond offerings at the overseas box office.

The Sony Pictures release, holding especially strong in northern Europe, dominated at foreign multiplexes for a third weekend in a row with a $44.7 million haul from 54 countries, according to final data issued Monday.

The 20-day offshore attack of “Casino Royale” has Sony executives eyeing a foreign gross of “up toward the mid-$300 millions,” a goal that would surpass the $271 million total of current Bond champion “Die Another Day.”

The next Bond venture will do even better as the world is already buzzing about a possible gay scene for Daniel Craig.
