subject: Clash Of The Titans - Leads Box Office In Easter Weekend [print this page] THE FILM Clash of the Titans, is a quasi-religious fantasy about a demi-god - plenty of half-measures in this one - that has nothing to do with Passover or Easter but much in common with the large helpings of cheese that Hollywood commonly serves with its Biblical epics.
The Clash of the Titans is set in the Greek city of Argos where a war is about to explode between man and the gods. Perseus (Sam Worthington) raised as a fisherman, but is actually a demi-god. Perseus is the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) who is about to take on the gods after the death of his family. Zeus' brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) was the one who kill his family, and Perseus wants to kill him. However, it is Perseus's destiny to rescue the city of Argos from the ruthless rage of Hades and his Kraken monster. With nothing to lose, Perseus leads a band of soldiers on a quest to defeat the Kraken. In doing this, Perseus will prevent Hades from overthrowing Zeus and in turn destroying mankind.
The Clash of the Titans earned $64.1 million from theaters in the United States and Canada since opening Thursday evening. The fantasy action adventure, which topped the North American charts on $61.4m, crossed $100m worldwide in its first three days and looks good heading into the coming weeks. The other movie thats doing crazy business this frame has no 3-D in it nor any monstrous beasts.
