I finally saw it on Friday. Technically it has directing problems, too many closeups, quick editing, and some lighting problems. There are too many songs - there's not enough book and the book isn't exactly great. But once I got past the girly squealing in the first few minutes (my ears were bleeding) it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch and I even was bouncing along to the music and I'm not the biggest ABBA fan. There's so much joyous energy in the film from the cast, the music and the beautiful location (and you have to love an actual Greek chorus!) that I could not get a goofy smile off my face... and I want to see it again... soon. It also helped the atmosphere to have an audience really into it even if no one was dancing in the aisles.

The SMA's singing has been IMO unfairly maligned - yes it's voice much more suited to rock or even folk (think Waite, Dylan, Cohen, Bowie in it's breathy gravelly-iness) than peppy pop but he's on key and he sings with conviction and emotion. I think it's his intensity on SOS as if he's really acting out his character's conflict and pain that throws most people. ABBA was not built for that kind of intense Method acting though Meryl does her bit in Winner Takes it All that seems to have gone over critically better - but then she has slightly more melodic pipes. LOL

More importantly, he looked gorgeous, had very good albeit underutlized chemistry with Meryl (but damn... what a kiss), and lovely chemistry with Amanda, and the other two fathers. And then there's the curtain call -- alone worth the price of admission.

3. Mamma Mia! - $17.865 million

In a strange and beautiful accident of nature, a variety of aquatic mammals—small whales, manatees, and the like—have beached themselves outside the doors of theaters screening this ebullient ABBA-musical, drawn to the siren song of Pierce Brosnan's otherworldly vocal stylings. Fear not: They've been relocated to The Grove's dancing waters, where they seem to be perfectly happy surviving off any Cheesecake Factory leftovers tossed to them by visitors.

I don't know which kiss you're referring to but if you watch the movie again you should have a look at C. Baranski's reaction to Meryl ripping off Pierce's shirt (or Pierce taking off his shirt respectively).
Do you remember Meryl saying ... "Pierce didn't know about it ... I did it for my girlfriends 'cause they'll like it!"?
It's pretty obvious that Christine DID enjoyed it

By the way: As far as I remember I've never seen Pierce kissing his leading lady thinking "OMG, this looks terrible" ... good job, Mr. Brosnan

I finally went to see Mamma Mia! today. I loved it. It was fun: crazy, warm, feel-good, funny, never took itself more serious than it was, and the actors seemed to have such a ball doing the movie. Colin Firth was so dorky, totally cute. I loved the girl who plays Sophie, she was fun and her voice is very good. Pierce once again proved that it is very easy to have a thing for him, though I really began to associate more and more with Sophie, seeing him like more of a father figure than anything else. A very likable and cool dad, though. And I simply adored Meryl Streep. She not only looks stunning, but she is also cool and a ton of fun, and quite frankly a fantastic singer. She really pulled off the best song performances. Especially "The winner takes it all" was very moving.

All in all it was a great time at the movies, and I promise everyone will dig out their Abba music after seeing it (in my case, it's an old tape!) and happily sing along. And you simply HAVE to stay for the credits!

I've seen it 3 times and each time I find something new.

During SOS when Meryl is singing, Pierce is in the foreground in profile. Goodness.

I watched Mamma Mia yesterday afternoon for the second time. I love this movie, it is so much fun and the music is just wonderful. I can't believe how great Meryl's singing is, it just seems that there is nothing that she cannot do. I have also bought the soundtrack. Now, if I could only find my old Abba tapes.

8/4/2008 - MM down just 28% in the U.S. from last weekend and pretty much even Foreign. L-e-g-g-y.

At No. 4 is Universal's "Mamma Mia!" which boosted its international total to $140.7 million thanks to a $14.6 million weekend at 2,310 screens in 22 markets, down just 10% from the previous stanza. The musical's worldwide tally is $228.7 million. Its best market was the U.K., where "Mamma Mia!" ranked second and drew $6.1 million from 495 sites for a 24-day market total of $63.8 million.

[It actually increased this weekend in the UK and made about as much weekdays. Wow]


Screendaily

Mamma Mia! maintained momentum as $14.6m from 2,310 sites in 22 territories raised the running total to $140.7m. Combined with the $87.9m North American tally, the worldwide gross stands at $228.7m.

The musical climbed 9% in the UK to $6.1m from 495 sites for $63.8m after four weekends, dropped 7% in Germany on $2.7m from 610 for 16m after three and fell 15% in the third weekend in Austria on $484,000 from 94 for $3.4m. It fell 29% in the fourth weekend in Australia on $2.2m from 258 to rank third on $20.1m. There are 33 territories to go over the next three months.

Hollywood Reporter updated totals:

The feel-good musical "Mamma Mia!" saw its cume climb to $142.5 million as mostly distaff supporters rallied for another $16.4 million from 2,430 dates in 23 markets, with Lebanon and Israel coming through with No. 1 openings. The U.K. has delivered $64.1 million in 24 days; Germany, $16 million in 18; and Australia, $20.1 million in 25.

[isabel1984]

I found one of my Abba tapes. Abba Gold has most of the songs sang in the movie. The music arrangement is almost identical, probably because the original musicians were involved with the soundtrack. Even though Frida and Agnethia are awesome, Meryl and Amanda are almost as good.

Finishing fourth was Universal's "Mamma Mia!" which continued like gangbusters overseas -- the buoyant musical has grossed nearly $70 million more internationally than it has domestically -- with a weekend take of $14.7 million from 2,400 screens in 24 markets. The overseas cume is $173.4 million (versus $104 million domestic).

Starring Meryl Streep and featuring an array of ABBA songs, "Mamma Mia!" remains very strong in the U.K., where it ranked No. 3 in its fifth weekend with an estimated $5.6 million from 515 sites for a 31-day market cume of $77.8 million. Universal expects "Mamma Mia!" to soon overtake "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" as the U.K.'s biggest 2008 grosser.

The UK totals for it's 5th weekend are about the same as it's 3rd and it makes more Mon-Thur than it does Fri-Sat.

Universal’s "Mamma Mia!," meanwhile, remained a potent player with $14.7 million at 2,400 in two dozen markets as the pic’s foreign cume hit a stunning $173.4 million, far above the studio’s initial expectations as counterprogrammer. The feel-good musical turned up hefty holdover biz with a decline of just 11% from the previous frame.

U.K. audiences have been staging a love affair with "Mamma" as the pic posted a tuneful fifth frame of $5.9 million, off just 11% for a Brit cume of $77.8 million. That nearly matches "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull" as the top 2008 title in Blighty and is about $14 million short of going past "Jurassic Park" as Universal’s top performer of all time in the U.K.

German biz declined only 10% in the pic’s fourth frame and has hit $20.7 million. "Mamma’s" holdover strength plus upcoming openings should propel the musical well past $200 million overseas. U reported strong previews in Spain, where it opens this weekend.

"'Mamma Mia!' Leaps To No. 1 On The Billboard 200

It took five weeks, but the ABBA-led soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!" has ascended to the summit of The Billboard 200 for the first time. Moving 130,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, the Decca effort climbs 3-1 and becomes the second soundtrack this year to take No. 1, behind Rhino's "Juno" soundtrack in January.

The film soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!" also crowns Top Internet Albums and Top Soundtracks, while the original cast recording of the stage musical continues its reign on Top Cast Albums for a third week.

The last year two or more soundtracks earned the top spot on The Billboard 200 was in 1998, when "Titanic," "City of Angels" and "Armageddon" all had their turn at No. 1.

ABBA has never had a top 10 album on the Billboard 200; the Swedish pop act's highest charting set is 1978's "The Album," which peaked at No. 14. However, the group is No. 1 on Top Pop Catalog albums with its greatest hits package "Gold," which jumps 37% to 33,000 copies."

UNIVERSAL PICTURES INTERNATIONAL CROSSES $1 BILLION AT OVERSEAS BOX OFFICE

Sets New Studio Record for Crossing Billion-Dollar Threshold

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ --

As of August 13, Universal Pictures International (UPI) has grossed more than $1 billion in box-office revenue for the year-to-date, it was announced today by Universal Pictures' Chairman Marc Shmuger and Co-Chairman David Linde. Reaching the billion-dollar benchmark in August is the fastest the studio has achieved this success and puts it on track to its most successful year in history.

Bolstered by a slate that represents a broad diversity of success and propelled by three films that have passed the $100 million mark internationally this year -- the musical romantic comedy "Mamma Mia!" ($180 million to date), the epic adventure "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" ($152 million to date) and the action-thriller "Wanted" ($123 million) -- the studio is well on its way to its most successful worldwide box-office performance.

"Universal is a studio with a commitment to making global films for global audiences, and the consistency of success in this year's slate demonstrates how well that is working around the world," said David Kosse, president of UPI. "I'm extremely gratified and proud that UPI is realizing this historic success with films as different as 'Mamma Mia!' and 'The Mummy.' It's proving that our specialty is our adaptability."

Since its release in early July, "Mamma Mia!" has turned into an unprecedented worldwide phenomenon, breaking records across the world as the biggest opening of a musical in history. It has already become the highest grossing film of 2008 in the U.K., Austria, Greece, Hungary, Norway and Sweden. Within the next two weeks, the Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan-led musical romantic comedy will become the most successful film Universal has ever released in the U.K. The film still has more than 30 territories in which to open.

The weekend pushed the studio past its 2007 total of $1.03 billion in international grosses.

"Mamma Mia!" also carries strong future prospects with socko holds and three dozen territories still to open.

The feature version of the stage musical is the first Universal title this year to exceed $200-million overseas, and is currently 2008's ninth biggest boxoffice hit internationally.

In the U.K., the largest foreign market for Hollywood studio films, "Mamma Mia!" remains gangbusters. Universal says it is in the No. 1 spot in its sixth weekend, grossing an estimated $4.1 million from 536 screens for a market cume of $89.2 million, making the musical the biggest title to play the U.K. in 2008.

Mamma Mia! held firm at number one in its sixth weekend in the UK and dropped 25% for $4.1m from 536 to raise the tally to $89.2m, making it the biggest film of the year in the UK and 16th on the all-time roster.

Variety: 'Mamma' still dancing at foreign box office

8-24-08 (with estimates)

And "Mamma Mia!" stayed stellar at foreign multiplexes with $12.5 million at 2,800 in 27 markets, hiking the offshore cume to an eye-popping $232.5 million -- by far the best performance of a musical internationally, topping previous title holder "Chicago" by nearly $100 million. Universal's feel-good vehicle has plenty of gas in the tank with two dozen markets left, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Russia and South Korea next month.

"Mamma" has significantly overperformed studio expectations in becoming the year's eighth highest international grosser. Within the next few weeks, it should vault three places past "Sex and the City" ($240 million), "Iron Man ($252 million) and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" at $263.5 million.

"Mamma" has been scoring superb holds throughout its run such as in the U.K. with $3 million in its seventh weekend, off only 26%, for a $98.1 million Brit cume -- the highest of 2008 and 11th all-time. And it declined just 15% in its sixth German frame to $2 million for a $28 million cume and launched in first in Taiwan with $460,000, 13% ahead of "Chicago."

Variety: Mamma Mia!” continued to pull big auds in Euro holdover biz.

LONDON — . More predictably, Mamma Mia!” continued to pull big auds in Euro holdover biz

In the U.K., “Hellboy 2” opened top with $5.5 million (including previews) at 464 screens. Result was slightly above expectations for the comic-based actioner sequel. Pic benefited from a bullish marketing campaign from Universal and some strong reviews from Brit crix. “Hell boy is the hottest, strangest and most fun comic-book hero around,” praised the Sun tabloid.

Box office phenomenon “Mamma Mia!” once again held tremendously well. Boosted by rowdy sing-a-long screenings this weekend, the filmed musical dropped only 17% in its seventh frame to $3.4 million and a monster $92.5 million cume via Universal.

In [Germany in 3rd place] “Mamma Mia!,” which continued its boffo run with $2 million toward a $26.7 million cume.

As elsewhere in Europe, “Mamma Mia!” is showing great traction in Spain, where the musical slid just 30% in its third frame, pushing the cume to $9.6 million
