As one of the resident geeks for NIN and Townsquare Media (Chris Callaway doesn't like to admit he's just as bad as I am), I figured it was up to me to post this. I may be a rarity in that I'm interested in the movie, but not totally psyched up yet
August 22, 2011 "The Avengers" is currently filming in Cleveland, and some footage from the set has made its way online. It's a 30-second aerial shot, which shows Captain America and Thor tag-teaming some bad guys.
As expected, 'Thor' enjoyed a solid performance at the weekend box office.
The superhero flick, which impressed most critics with its action-packed storyline and breakout performance by star Chris Hemsworth, took in an impressive $66 million, leaving the rest of the competition in the dust. Globally, the film has already grossed $242 million, according to Variety.
Three new movies are opening nationwide this weekend.
One has the makings of a mega-blockbuster in 'Thor,' the latest in a long line of superhero movies from Marvel. Interestingly enough, this one is from critically acclaimed and Oscar-nominated director Kenneth Branagh, the man behind such Shakespeare adaptations as 'Henry V.'
