Anne Curtis’ Blood Ransom is Battling for Top Spot in US Box Office Against Interstellar

11/07/2014 – Los Angeles | The battle over American box office supremacy is still an ongoing business between two blockbuster films this week. Interstellar, a science fiction drama film directed by Christopher Nolan is slightly ahead of Blood Ransom, a vampire film which stars Filipina-Australian Anne Curtis in her Hollywood debut.

Box Office Mojo reported that Interstellar earned $57,856,232 on its opening week while Blood Ransom trails with $43,987,532. Coming in third is Big Hero with $27,756,234, followed by British biographical romance film The Theory of Everything.

“Anne Curtis is no doubt a bankable star and a real Hollywood material”, said Tim Stuart, a film critic from New York Times.

It is not surprising if Interstellar tops the box office. According to sources, Interstellar has the biggest marketing budget and has the biggest pre-orders in China and North America. It is extremely surprising that Blood ransom came close to this level as many critics didn’t expect the film to be shown in North America.

Major Hollywood film companies like Warner Brothers and United Artists are trying to reach Curtis for possible future projects after seeing her Oscar-worthy performance according to sources.

The actress is still in US promoting her film and is expected to return later next week. The president is already planning for a hero’s welcome.

Blood Ransom is expected to be the first independent film with non-American actress to top the US box office in the last ten years. Rottentomatoes.com gave the film a 98% fresh rating based on 1,780 votes.
