The Hobbit has had a record opening weekend at the US box office.

The Peter Jackson epic was the biggest December US opening, earning $NZ100.3 million since Friday.

It surpassed Will Smith's I Am Legend, which opened with $NZ91.2 million in 2007.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey also passed the December opening of Avatar, which opened with $NZ91 million.

AMAZING! I haven't read the book, but it seems Peter Jackson made a smart decision in spreading it out over three movies, as it means he can include the majority of what happened in the book, rather than excluding a lot of material like the LOTR movies. The HFR 3D was astounding. admittedly it was very strange at first, simply because I was not used to 48fps as I had not been subjected to it before.

After a few minutes you get used to it though and it is amazing how life like everything is. The actors can't get away with anything, as it seem as though you could detect every flaw in their performance if there were any (there weren't I will add, the acting was top class). It felt like you had been plonked in front of a stage show, and the actors were there in the flesh.

I recommend going and seeing it in HFR 3D, even just for the experience which you would have never had before.

Enjoyed it more than the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, very entertaining and fun!

Went with my 11yr old daughter yesterday - a bit slow to start but then epic.
