So- who'd win in a catfight? Catwoman or Mystique??

Well apparently it's Mystique hands down! (Like you ACTUALLY had to read my post for the answer?! LOL)

X-Men First Class' Mystique, Jennifer Lawrence, has been named the Top Actress Under 30 of the past year in LOVEFiLM's annual list! At just 20 years of age, she happens to be the second youngest actress on the list. But is it any surprise really?

Jennifer already wowed audiences with her performance in 2010's Winter's Bone, which also helped her garner an Oscar Nomination for Best Actress! This automatically has taken her to the top & with her emotion-packed performance in X-Men First Class (where she could have easily got lost or overshadowed) she's only added another feather to her cap. She'll be seen next in 2012's House at the End of the Street but apparently more intensely awaited is her movie coming after that The Hunger Games based on the sci-fi novel by Suzanne Collins.

2012's The Dark Knight Rises' Catwoman, Anne Hathaway, however, should not be underestimated. Currently she's at the No. 2 spot, climbing 17 places up from 2010's list...I personally think she's gonna do great as Selina Kyle (well perhaps not as great as my fave silver screen Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer, but at least better than Halle Berry's ANY DAY! LOL). And definitely after she'll be seen in TDKR, she may just top the list! She's a brilliant actress- The Devil Wears Prada is my fave Hathaway movie till date!

^Booo! You at no. 2! :P Jk guys! No offense to all Hathaway fans out there! :)

And these are the Top 10 Actresses Under 30:
1. Jennifer Lawrence, 20 (New)
2. Anne Hathaway, 29 (2010 rank 19) +17 places
3. Mia Wasikowska, 20 (2010 rank 3) Static
4. Kirsten Stewart, 21 (2010 rank 1) -3 places
5. Carey Mulligan, 24 (2010 rank 4) -1 place
6. Emily Blunt, 28 (2010 rank 6) Static
7. Kirsten Dunst, 29 (2010 rank 17) +10 places
8. Freida Pinto, 26 (2010 rank 10) +2 places
9. Chloe Moretz, 14 (New)
10. Mila Kunis, 27 (Re-entry)

Xstatic! X-Men First Class smashes Wolverine in India!

YAY! When I read this news it was like music to my ears...err, heaven to my eyes...? :P

X-Men First Class released last Friday (June 10) out here in India & has done splendidly indeed! Let me list out it's weekend achievements:
*Made a record weekend opening of Rs 10.02 crores (that is $2,277,273 to be precise)
*Faired better than all the Hindi movies that released that Friday
*Accomplished the biggest opening for a non-3D Hollywood movie in 2011 in India
*Registered the 2nd biggest opening of 2011 for a Hollywood film in India, racing ahead of Fast 5(!!)



Another positive thing to note is that the X-Men franchise has been mostly on an upward trend, gaining increasing profits from India with each release. Rewinding back, X-Men Origins: Wolverine grossed around $1.5 million in just its opening weekend in India. X3, X2 & X-Men got a TOTAL gross of $943,600, $781,689 & $809,304 respectively, from India...

Ahh! I feel so satisfied now that I can visualize the Fox execs scrambling to make a First Class sequel & possibly fast-tracking a sequel to the original trilogy as well!

Awesome days to be an X-fan that's for sure! :D You can read the entire article about this from the Times of India!

Xstatic! X-Men First Class scores $120 mil over the weekend!

Well X-Men First Class could have done better in the US over the weekend, managing to rake in $56 million. Internationally however, it's attracted $64 million from 74 territories!

So that rounds up the first weekend's grand total to $120 million! Let's hope that word of mouth (not that there hasn't been enough of it already) helps XFC fare better in the weeks to come in the US. Green Lantern doesn't release until June 17, so it has time till then.

And then there's still India that's (the last country on Earth?) left to see the movie starting June 10! That should definitely add to the moolah...The X-Men Movies India Facebook page itself has 9000+ members currently!

Xstatic! X-Men First Class beats Thor in midnight opening!

In the Xstatic! segment I'll be filling you X-fans in about some X-media (movies, TV shows, comics, etc) or the other that is faring successfully...

Today I have some thunderous news for you X-geeks! X-Men First Class HAS best Thor at its midnight opening. While Thor managed to summon $3.25 million at 1,800 locations, XFC has telekinetically attracted $3.37 million at 1,783 locations! It's not much of a difference but if this keeps up, the projections predicted for this movie could well come true & may even surpass it!



Fox has said they are anticipating earnings between $45 and 55 Million from their cash cow...And I do remember reading somewhere about expecting it to reach a cool $65 million! Let's cross our fingers for now...And watch it in theaters more than once ;P
