The Blind Side

Sandra Bullock’s personal life may be in the dumps, but professionally she’s still on top! The Blind Side has reportedly sold over 3 million copies since its March 23rd release.

That’s a whole lot of copies in one week, and it’s the top-selling DVD out there right now! We’re sure the success of the DVD is due mostly in part to the fact that Sandra Bullock won Best Actress for her role, and the film was nominated for Best Picture.

But we bet this scandal has also made people want to see the movie even more as a way of supporting Sandra during this difficult time. We saw the movie in the theater and still want to see it again!
Congratulations to Sandra Bullock who is making history with her latest movie!

Her film The Blind Side has made over $200 million, making it the first female-starring film to cross that mark at the box office.

According to Variety, in its seventh week in theaters, the film earned $208.5 million in box office sales. She’s beaten out some of the top dogs in Hollywood, like Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts, who haven’t accomplished something so big.

And Warner Brothers thinks this is just the beginning for this film. "And we're not even done," said Dan Fellman, WB president of domestic distribution. "I think Blind Side has another $30 million left."

Sandra has been the female star in countless films, like Miss Congeniality, Crash, and more recently the Proposal. But it’s great to see what she can do on her own, blowing everyone out of the water!

Avatar finished out its opening weekend with much bigger numbers than expected. According to Variety the James Cameron flick scored $77.3 million, securing the best December debut at the domestic box office.

The first set of numbers that came in stated that the movie had only made $73 million from Friday to Sunday, but it was re-calculated this morning. Avatar beat out the previous December sinner, I Am Legend, which made $77.2 in its opening weekend.
