Your ‘2012′ death brought in $225M
by Trey C. on November 16, 2009
Doom spelled dollars at the box office as the global-disaster tale “2012″ opened at No. 1 domestically with $65 million and pulled in $225 million worldwide, the AP reports.
You all know the story of crazy people conspiring that the world is going to end in 2012 simply because the Mayan’s cycle of patterns and calendar went haywire somehow. Sony Pictures’ created their own action-filled version of the story and needless to say the movie was pretty good in general.
There were some part of the movie, however, that looks like the cameraman got lazy on the boom and just shook the camera around a little in front of the green screen.

My friends and I also came to the conclusion that we are all probably going to end up in hell. As the city was sinking and families were being separated, all of our attention was all focused on the prettiest man in the movie, Johann Urb, who played Sasha the Russian pilot. You can obviously tell in the picture above why we were so keen on him.
Just imagine us when the real Apocalypse does happen — everyone will be screaming and asking God for mercy, and then there will be my little gang checking out the sexy horsemen.
