U2 2009 Earnings
U2 2009 earnings. U2 made 108 million dollars last year from album sales and touring, but the funny thing is that Michael Bay made 20 Million more than them last year alone !!. Splitting up 108 Million four ways kind of sucks, but i guess yaaa for U2 right ?
This weekend, Alice in Wonderland destroyed expectations and along the way broke records. This extended to its IMAX run, as it pulled in $12.1 million on 188 domestic IMAX screens. This represents more than 10% of its total box office from just 2.5% of its total screens, giving it a per screen average of $64,362. Even with the higher ticket prices for IMAX, this is still impressive. Additionally, the film made $3.1 million on 53 screens internationally, while it is scheduled to expand by 29 more screens over the coming weeks. I don’t think this film will have the same legs as Avatar, but it could top The Polar Express’s current total of $71 million worldwide, climbing into second place for a DMR film.

Owen Cunningham Wilson
O
5′ 10½” (1.79 m)
Self-proclaimed troublemaker Owen Wilson grew up in Texas with his mother, Laura, a photographer; his father, an ad exec; and his brothers, Andrew Wilson (the eldest) and Luke Wilson (the youngest). Expelled from St. Mark’s Academy in Dallas Texas in the tenth grade, Wilson finished his sophomore year at Thomas Jefferson School and then headed to a military academy in New Mexico. He then attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he met his future mentor and friend, Wes Anderson. They wrote a screenplay, Bottle Rocket (1996), and sent it to their family friend, screenwriter L.M. Kit Carson, who sent it to producer Polly Platt, who gave it to James L. Brooks, who gave the Texans $5 million dollars to make it into a feature film. Despite critical praise, Bottle Rocket (1996) only grossed one million dollars. After making the film, Wilson moved to Hollywood, setting up house with his two brothers and Anderson. Fairly quickly, Owen found himself acting in a series of big budget films that scraped the bottom of the critical barrel, such as the dreadful The Cable Guy (1996), The Haunting (1999), Anaconda (1997) and Breakfast of Champions (1999). This led to more work in slightly better fare, such as Shanghai Noon (2000), Meet the Parents (2000) and Behind Enemy Lines (2001). He’s known not only for his nose, which has been broken several times, but also for his ‘free wheeling ways’ with a script. He co-wrote the film The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) with his oft partner Wes Anderson. He has been romantically linked with singer Sheryl Crow.
Neighbor of Anthony Begonia and middle brother of Luke Wilson and Andrew Wilson.
Cut his chin and had to get stitches during the making of The Haunting (1999) in the scene where his character Luke is attacking the portrait of Hugh Crane with a candlestick.
Despite being grateful of his success as an actor, he still considers himself a writer at heart and wishes he devoted more time to that rather than acting. Due to a busy schedule as an actor, he sadly had to miss contributing to the script for Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), despite that he co-wrote Anderson’s 3 previous films.
He is known for his improvisational abilities, which he mostly contributes to films other than the more personal ones he does with Wes Anderson. Many of the funniest lines in his movies are his improvisations.
Usually declines to discuss the source of his distinctive-looking nose, which was broken twice. The broken nose was apparently the result of a football injury attained while on the football team in high school (all three Wilson brothers had played high school football, the elder Andrew with the greatest success).
Is a member of, what the media refers to as, “The Frat Pack,” along with Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell, and Luke Wilson. The “Frat Pack” name is a reference to the film, Old School (2003), featuring Vaughn, Ferrell and Luke Wilson, due to the wide number of films featuring the seven actors. Wilson’s “Frat Pack” films include Zoolander (2001),Wedding Crashers (2005), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Cable Guy (1996), and Starsky & Hutch (2004).
Has been in 10 movies with Ben Stiller, up to this date. They are The Cable Guy (1996), Permanent Midnight (1998), Heat Vision and Jack (1999) (TV), Meet the Parents (2000), Zoolander (2001), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Starsky & Hutch (2004), Meet the Fockers (2004), Night at the Museum (2006), and Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009).
He and his brother Luke Wilson were originally meant to play the Malloy brothers in Ocean’s Eleven (2001), but dropped out to make The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).
Majored in English.
Father was a PBS exec.
When appearing on Australian talk show, “Rove Live” (2000), he became the 1001st guest on the show. He was appearing with Isla Fisher. Fisher walked out first and therefore became the 1000th. Wilson received a meat tray.
First “Frat Pack” member to receive an Academy Award nomination.
Is of Irish descent.
Was the best man at the wedding of his brother, Andrew Wilson.
Has an Australian cattle dog named Garcia.
Attended his senior year in high school at the New Mexico Military Institute, instead of a normal academic school.
Fan of Chelsea FC (England soccer club).
Met his ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson on the set of You, Me and Dupree (2006).
Never wanted to be an actor, but writing is his passion.
Born to Robert Andrew Wilson, an advertising executive and operator of KERA, a public TV station in Dallas, and his wife Laura Cunningham, a photographer.
Was romantically linked to Demi Moore and Sheryl Crow.
Was taken to St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, CA after a reported suicide attempt (26 August 2007).
Owen and Luke’s father was the first to bring Monty Python’s Flying Circus to American TV where he managed KERA, a PBS station, in Dallas, TX.

6′ (1.83 m)
The son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (a brother of director Francis Ford Coppola) and dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang, Cage changed his name early in his career to make his own reputation, succeeding brilliantly with a host of classic, quirky roles by the late 1980s.
Initially studying theatre at Beverly Hills High (though he dropped out at 17), he secured a bit part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) — most of which was cut, dashing his hopes and leading to a job selling popcorn at the Fairfax Theater, thinking that would be the only route to a movie career. But a job reading lines with auditioners for uncle Francis’ Rumble Fish (1983) landed him a role in that film, followed by the punk-rocker in Valley Girl (1983), which was released first and truly launched his career.
His one-time passion for method acting reached a personal limit when he smashed a street-vendor’s remote-control car to achieve the sense of rage needed for his gangster character in The Cotton Club (1984).
In his early 20s, he dated Jenny Wright for two years and later linked to Uma Thurman. After a relationship of several years with Christina Fulton, a model, they split amicably and share custody of a son, Weston Coppola Cage (b.1992).

Walt Disney Pictures
Directed by Tim Burton
Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time… Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There’, which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.
