'The Hobbit' expected to make $1 billion worldwide by March


The Hobbit is on course to become the 15th movie to earn over $1 billion (£630 million) at the box office worldwide.

Since opening in December, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has already raked in a whopping $921 million (£581 million) at cinemas across the world. Peter Jackson's film is still on general release, and has yet to open in China, so Variety predicts that it will cross the $1 billion barrier by March.

Back in 1998, Titanic became the first film to make over $1 billion at the box office worldwide. Last year, three films joined the so-called "billion dollar club": The Avengers ($1.51 billion to date) , The Dark Knight Rises ($1.08 billion) and Skyfall ($1.04 billion).

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first in Jackson's new trilogy of JRR Tolkien adaptations. The second instalment, subtitled The Desolation Of Smaug, opens in cinemas on December 13 this year, before the series concludes with There And Back Again on July 18 2014.

sorry dudes. i'm on australian time. which means its bed time.

"has yet to open in China."

that makes me so sad. chinese cinemas have yet to experience this masterpiece. </3
tothechangmin 23rd-Jan-2013 02:02 pm (UTC)
but they have chinese fans already? i was at a chinese richard armitage fansite (sort of) and they seemed to have watched it.
anchors_oceans 23rd-Jan-2013 02:07 pm (UTC)
they probably saw it online but i meant more the people who will go to the theatre to see it. plus if it hasn't opened in chinese cinemas yet, it hasn't gotten the money which will hopefully put it to the 1 billion mark. <3

Ok, soooooo after watching the gifs of these gorgeous men during the past several party posts; my labia demands to know - who is heterosexual?
babydiego 23rd-Jan-2013 01:06 pm (UTC)
ALL OF THEM

I think

Richard Armitage is the one I would query and hope is bisexual
xandy_candyx 23rd-Jan-2013 01:06 pm (UTC)
i think all of them except lee pace...aidan and dean have girlfriends tho
madcowre 23rd-Jan-2013 01:21 pm (UTC)
Apparently all the dwarves. Richard is debatable, but he always talks about finding a wife to have kids with so...

Lee Pace is apparently gay and of course flawless Sir Ian (such a shame D:)
babydiego 23rd-Jan-2013 01:32 pm (UTC)
ian owns a pub near me that i have to go to soon. im not sure i could handle it if he randomly appeared behind the bar though
hope_remains 23rd-Jan-2013 01:49 pm (UTC)
hooooow did I never know about Lee Pace's sexuality? strangely I dont get gay vibes from him. hrm.
sassalicious 24th-Jan-2013 05:22 am (UTC)
I find lee pace attractive, so of course he is gay. That's how it always works, lol.
tx5mym5 23rd-Jan-2013 01:50 pm (UTC)
Sir Ian is very out & proud.

Lee Pace and Luke Evans are glass closet types.

I'm not sure about Adam Brown since there's little information about him out there. Aidan and Dean are both dating girls named Sarah (what a ubiquitous name). All the rest are hetero (based on my research) with varying stages of marriage and partnership with Ian Holm having been married 4 times.

James Nesbitt used to cheat on his wife with a former Miss Ireland (allegedly) and a prostitute (he was so drunk and coked-up he didn't remember) and a legal secretary (definitely), but in the decade since he's done a lot of charity work to clean up his image. It's all in his Wikipedia - Personal Life entry. He's an interesting dude.
