End of Year Box Office

2007 ends with National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets leading the box office. The new film Alien vs. Predator: Requiem tanked at the box office not even breaking the top 5. Serves the right for releasing it on Christmas. Meanwhile, well received Juno performed well and Sweeney Todd dropped to number 9.

Here's a rundown:

1. National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets - $35.6 million
2. Alvin and the Chipmunks - $30 million
3. I Am Legend - $27.5 million
4. Charlie Wilson's War - $11.7 million
5. Juno - $10.3 million

The Green Room highly recommends Tim Burton's new film, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, starring Johnny Depp. Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen also star in the Stephen Sondheim penned movie musical. The movie opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews.

With Hairspray released and Sweeney Todd coming up, the next movie musical has just started filming in Greece. Mamma Mia! has been a hit on Broadway and in London's West End. The show has been seen by over 30 million people. Now, Academy Award winning legend Meryl Streep and former James Bond Pierce Brosnan will bring the musical to the big screen. Also starring is Amanda Seyfried, who held her own with Lindsay Lohan as Karen in 2004's Mean Girls.
