Lara
Croft: Tomb Raider has been discharged from the
Paramount summit by The Fast and the Furious which
assumed the role of America's number one movie
this weekend generating $41.6 million in box office
receipts. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider chronicles the
adventures of a British archaeologist [Jolie]
sent on a quest for an ancient time-traveling
device called the Clock of Ages. Helmed by acclaimed
Director Simon West, Paramount Pictures Tomb Raider
movie, which cost an estimated $100m to make,
has already generated $84 in the 10 days since
it's release despite a barrage of bad reviews.
Paramount
recently reportedly attributed the success of
Tomb Raider to a strategically planned advertising
campaign branded it's fiercest yet and enrolling
the help of Pepsi Cola, Land Rover and Swedish
communications company Ericsson. Plans are afoot
for two sequels after Director Simon West and
several cast members, including Angelina Jolie,
confirmed they would continue the Lara Croft silver-screen
adventure.
