The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Peter Jackson returned to Middle Earth with this prequel to his Oscar-winning “Lord of the Rings” saga. While it had solid 3D, Bilbo Baggins’ story wasn’t as exciting as Jackson’s LOTR films and feels like one book stretched out to three films. More

Fantasy, It Figures Radagast, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Yazneg 2 Comments
The Bridge Direct revealed some new images from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” showing off figures of Radagast and Yazneg. Their earlier 6″ figures have been very well done and fit in nicely with your existing “Lord of the Rings” figures from Toy Biz.
Sure to become coveted pieces of memorabilia, these 6″ scale collector figures feature intricate and authentic detail. Each figure contains up to 12 points of articulation and replicates the facial features, clothing, weapons and accessories of each character as seen in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Leatherface (Dan Yeager) finds his weapon in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.”
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D – $23 million [debut week] The seventh installment of the horror franchise cut through the three strong holdovers from the previous two weeks to take the top spot. I almost feel like this is a case of three top films duking it out and splitting the audience just enough for a new film to sneak in and win the weekend. The 2003 edition starring Jessica Biel brought in $28 million its opening weekend and didn’t have the benefit of 3D to help boost the numbers. Maybe more concerning for Lionsgate is that this will be a very short stay atop the box office as horror films generally don’t hold well the second weekend and “Gangster Squad” and Oscar favorite “Zero Dark Thirty” come out Friday meaning “Massacre” could likely miss the Top 5 next week altogether.

(L-r) KEN STOTT as Balin, AIDAN TURNER as Kili, WILLIAM KIRCHER as Bifur, IAN McKELLEN as Gandalf, GRAHAM McTAVISH as Dwalin, MARK HADLOW as Dori and MARTIN FREEMAN as Bilbo Baggins and in New Line Cinema’s and MGM’s fantasy adventure “THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – $32 million [$130 million; 2nd week] Peter Jackson’s new Middle Earth trilogy earned an expected consecutive week atop the box office. In its second weekend, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings” — the first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy – fell 18% from its opening weekend to bring in $38 million the following weekend while the second film, “The Two Towers,” fell 21.2%, but brought in $48 million its second weekend. “The Hobbit’s” numbers are a bit behind that and could easily be knocked off the top spot with stiff competition from “Django Unchained” and “Les Misérables.” More

Yes, I know. “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” hasn’t even come out yet, but here’s the first look at its sequel, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.”
Mark Pokorny/Warner Bros. Pictures
MARTIN FREEMAN as Bilbo Baggins in New Line Cinema’s and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s fantasy adventure “THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG.”
From first glance, it looks like Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) has managed to find himself in Smaug’s lair. No telling if the dragon is there or not, but something doesn’t have Bilbo too happy.
We’ll find out more when the film releases Dec. 13, 2013.
