Mamma Mia! is a Box Office Hit

Holy Cash Cow, Batman! Christmas came early for Warner Brothers this year, and it looks like it won’t matter if they have another hit until at least 2012. Chris Nolan’s sequel to Batman Begins has smashed every record in sight, hitting with a $155 million debut and taking that top spot on the weekend charts for what could be weeks to come. After just three days in release, The Dark Knight is already shaping up to be the biggest movie event of the year.

Opening in second place was the musical Mamma Mia!, which nabbed a nice little take of $27.6 million. That’s no where near the behemoth earnings of The Dark Knight, but it is the biggest opening in history for a musical, besting last year’s Hairspray by a little more than a million dollars.

Big congratulations to Amanda Seyfried and the cast & crew behind Mamma Mia! for the success! Furthermore, the top 5 movies at the box office are listed below.

  1. The Dark Knight – $155 million
  2. Mamma Mia! – $27.6 million
  3. Hancock – $14 million
  4. Journey to the Center of the Earth – $11.9 million
  5. Hellboy II: The Golden Army – $10 million

Seyfried on Set Romance and ‘Alice’

You can’t help but wonder if Mamma Mia! will be the breakthrough role for Amanda Seyfried. True, audiences have seen her in Mean Girls and Big Love, but she’s in a much bigger spotlight here, singing and acting alongside Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, and Colin Firth.

“Before I got the role, I used to sing, but not professionally,” she tells The Daily Mail, “and as soon as I heard about Mamma Mia! I knew I had to do it. I was nervous singing for [ABBA members] Benny and Björn and I just did the best I could.”

Adds Seyfried, “But nothing in the film was really that challenging as I was basically playing myself. Sophie’s a young girl excited about life, so it just felt right.”

That’s not the only thing that felt right, apparently. Though you rarely hear such talk when these things fizzle, the 22-year-old actress is remarkably candid about her on-set fling with her on-screen fiancé Dominic Cooper. In real life, Seyfried was in a two-year relationship with actor and musician Jesse Marchant, and Cooper had been with the same girl for 12 years, although that relationship apparently survived the dalliance.

“I just found him funny and it was like we were the same person – except that he’s British, almost 30 and a man,” gushes the ebullient actress. “We both look like frogs with our wide-set eyes, we’re both indecisive and neither of us has a lot of willpower.”

You don’t hear phraseology like that everyday to describe the spark of love: Low willpower? Check. Indecisive? Check. Toady? Check.

Seyfried on the Price of Fame

Amanda Seyfried (pronounced SIGH-frid) says that her big eyes make her look a bit like a frog.

But the Amanda sitting across a small table last month in a suite at New York’s Ritz-Carlton looks nothing like a frog, unless she’s referring to some parallel bizarro universe in which frogs kiss ugly princes to turn them into frogs.

Seyfried (“The Big Love,” “Mean Girls”) is pretty, petite and bursting with energy and opinion. In a celebrity culture in which actors are either dumb as rocks or prepped for the press like political candidates, this Allentown native and her handlers haven’t yet gotten the memo. She’s as refreshing as a Cape May breeze.

It is hoped that “Mamma Mia,” her first leading role (and it’s opposite Meryl Streep), won’t change her.

Q. After a series of serious roles in “Law & Order: SVU,” “House” and “Alpha Dog,” was it easy for you to lighten up for ABBA?

A. It was pretty simple for me to just be excited, and that’s the character I play. She’s just enthusiastic about life, and I was so enthusiastic about filming that I didn’t really have to go anyplace to get the right attitude. It was a very rare experience – Greece and Meryl and Pierce [Brosnan] and dancing and singing, sharing something that is so private for me.

Here to make my very first post, I just wanted to inform you about the Hard C School Dance Amanda attended at Loft at the Highlands in Los Angeles on July 12. She was accompanied by Mamma Mia! co-star Dominic Cooper and some friends of hers (in matching outfits!). Judging from the photo, it looks like Amanda had a lot of fun that night.

Q: How many times a year do you get back to Allentown?

A: Well, last year I came home a number of times. Usually it’s three times. I’m always home for Christmas.

Q: When you come home, where do you like to hang out?

A: My friend Maureen [Murphy's] house. We always watch movies at her house. Literally, when I come home all I do is watch movies at Maureen’s house. Sometimes we go to Stooges. It’s basically where everybody from my high school goes. It’s nice to reconnect with people at least once a year.

Q: Do you have a favorite store at the mall?

A: I love the Gap. But I almost never go to the mall anymore.
