The Weinstein Company is pretty proud of Quentin Tarantino’s latest effort, Django Unchained. Aside from the two Golden Globe wins for Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz) and Best Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino), and along with the five Oscar nominations the film received (including Best Picture), Django Unchained has officially become Tarantino’s highest grossing film to date (domestically). Have a look at The Weinstein Company’s official release after the jump.
New York, NY – January 17, 2013 – The Weinstein Company (TWC) is thrilled to announce that DJANGO UNCHAINED has just become Quentin Tarantino’s highest-grossing film to date in the domestic marketplace, with a cumulative gross nearing $130 Million. The movie, starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson, was released wide on Christmas Day 2012. Tarantino’s previous record was set by INGLORIOUS BASTERDS which grossed over $120.5 Million in the U.S.
Fresh off this weekend’s two Golden Globe® wins for Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz) and Best Screenplay (Quentin Tarantino), and celebrating the movie’s five Oscar® nominations including Best Picture, DJANGO UNCHAINED is continuing to gather steam in the awards race, and continues to receive critical and popular acclaim. Some of the many supporters include the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, who released this statement, “ [DJANGO UNCHAINED] captures the cultural, physical and psychological pain heaped upon the lives of men and women of African descent-expressing in dramatic terms the existential nightmare endured by so many for so long. By this measure, the scar of violence, exploitation and subrogation made evident—and the focus of this film—is not just a picture of random violence, but portrays America at its lowest moment as a nation. The violence that we see portrayed in this drama might well renew our focus on the 256 years of racial violence that continues to be an indelible chapter in the history that is America.”
“Bob and I have had the most extraordinary filmmaker relationship with Quentin Tarantino and we are proud to be here for this incredible milestone. We also appreciate working with Amy Pascal, Michael Lynton, and the incredible Sony team on this project. They have been great partners internationally,” said Harvey Weinstein, Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company.

What's your favorite Tarantino movie ?
If it wasn't for that film I probably wouldn't be doing my degree or be as in love with cinema as I am now.
Didn't watch Django in the cinema, I'll admit, because I didn't really want to pay for a movie with the N word, you know?
He does not make bad films. Or hasn't yet, at least.
Kill Bill (1 and 2, he planned/filmed it as one so I count it as one)
Inglorious Basterds
Pulp Fiction = Django Unchained
Jackie Brown
Reservoir Dogs
Death Proof
But I love them all so it's like ranking children tbh. All of them are pretty high on the general list of "movies I consider my favorite ever"
Jackie Brown
Pulp Fiction
Death Proof
Kill Bill
Inglorious Bastards
Django Unchained
(I also love Merlin and Gwen is a GODDESS.)
It's seriously great. It's not ALL directed by Tarantino, but every section is worth seeing.
I don't know my favourite. They're all my favourite in different ways. PUl Fiction had the most incredible soundtrack. Jackie Brown had pam fucking grier, inglourious bastards was riddled with hot dudes and christoph waltz in that movie gave me chills. I think my least favourite are the kill bill movies? They're so good, but I love the whole... motown, funk, blaxploitation thing. The sexy 70s are my dhit.
I've been drinking champagne and watching tarantino/rodriguez movies for hours. <-- my excuse for spelling.
