Miley has always strived to live a relatively normal teenage life, but when late stage entrances, exclusive shopping trips that end in brawling catfights, and ditching friends and family in favor of Hannah appearances become commonplace, Robbie Ray whisks her away from a date at the New York Music Awards for a dose of hometown reality at her grandma’s in Crowley Corners, Tenn. Unfortunately, she’s followed by Oswald (Peter Gunn), a relentless reporter from Britain’s Bon Chic Magazine.

The Simpsons had already ruled TV land for many years by the time they finally attempted to conquer the movie world as well. It was never any big secret that a Simpsons movie was in the works: Fox registered the domain name “Simpsonsmovie.com” in 1997, a full nine years before the film was finally greenlighted. When creator/producer Matt Groening?s creation finally made it to the big screen in 2007, it only turned out to be the biggest hit of the summer, raking in over $100 million gross in box-office receipts in its first week, before heading on to do over $500 million worldwide, proving that the best joke in the movie was actually played on the audience: “Why pay for something when you can see it for free?” asks Homer at the movie?s start.

Setelah berminggu-minggu menjadi penguasa box office, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ akhirnya lengser dari peringkat puncak. Posisinya pun digantikan oleh film animasi ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ yang berhasil meraup pendapatan US$ 43,3 juta atau sekitar Rp 394 miliar.

Seperti dilansir dari New York Times, Senin (29/3/2010), banyak alasan kenapa ‘How to Train Your Dragon’  bisa meluncur mulus ke peringakt puncak box office. Mulai dari naiknya harga tiket bioskop di Amerika Serikat dan Kanada, review yang bagus di beberapa media, hingga meningkatnya minat moviegoer terhadap film 3D. Kebetulan, DreamWorks Animation juga menyajikan ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ dalam format 3D.

Di minggu terakhir April ini, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ harus puas berada di peringkat dua. Meski hanya bisa menjual tiket sebanyak US$ 17,2 juta, namun film garapan Tim Burton itu sudah mengumpulkan total pendapatan US$ 293 juta.

Peringkat tiga kali ini dihuni film komedi ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’. Sejak dirilis pada 26 Maret, film yang digarap oleh Steve Pink dan dibintangi aktor John Cusack itu sudah mengumpulkan US$ 12,3 juta.

‘The Bounty Hunter’, film yang dibintangi Jennifer Aniston dan Gerard Butler harus turun ke peringkat empat dengan angka pendapatan US$ 12,4 juta. Sementara, ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ yang minggu lalu sempat menghuni peringkat dua harus terjun bebas ke peringkat lima. Film tersebut hanya sanggup mengumpulkan US$ 10 juta dari para penontonnya.
