How Amelia Performed at the Box Office Opening Weekend: Terribly…that’s how. Amelia grossed a dismal $4 million opening weekend. There was simply too much going on at the box office for this movie to even make it into the top 5…in fact, this movie didn’t even make it into the top 10 movies of it’s opening weekend.
Release Date (everywhere): October 23rd, 2009
Their Plot Synopsis: A look at the life of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart, who disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world.
Starring: Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor
My Thoughts: I’m excited about this movie. I’m not so sure it is going to blow the box office away or anything, but I would like to see this. It reminds me a bit of the movie “The Aviator” which was a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and was based on the life of Howard Hughes. It is actually one of my favorite movies. I’m hoping this movie comes close to it. Alright, maybe that is my cynical side coming out. I haven’t seen it and I’m already assuming that it doesn’t have a shot at being better than The Aviator. So, let me rephrase, I hope this movie makes it into my favorites list.
