The number one movie in America, for the second week in a row, is the Hugh Jackman battling ‘bots flick ‘Real Steel.’ Conan O’Brien knows this and decided to capitalize on the sudden interest in robots, pitting two handmade robots against each other on last night’s show.
A new release, the futuristic Hugh Jackman boxing tale ‘Real Steel,’ took in $27.3 million to become the top earner at the box office this weekend.
Two very different new films will hit theaters in wide-release this weekend, featuring Hugh Jackman, Ryan Gosling and George Clooney.
In the futuristic ‘Real Steel,’ Jackman plays a washed-up fighter who takes his 2000-pound scrap metal contender to the bot boxing championships.
And in the Clooney-directed thriller, ‘The Ides of March,’ Gosling is an up-and-coming presidential campaign press secretary who finds himself involved in a political scandal.
