Gekko is back!

Remember those brick-size phone they were using then.. And those black and white IBMs..

And Michael Douglas' hair was very brown then.

Gordon Gekko proved to still be a commodity after all of these years, but the weekend closing bell rang on a bearish note for upstarts Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole and You Again. Overall business was up four percent over the same weekend last year, when Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was on top.

After acquiring approximately 5,100 screens at 3,565 locations, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps accrued an estimated $19 million, which was above par for an adult-oriented drama but relatively modest for the scope of its release. On-the-money comparables are hard to come by, but the Wall Street sequel's first weekend gross was close to Burn After Reading and nearly twice as much as The Informant! and Michael Clayton. Distributor 20th Century Fox's exit polling indicated that 65 percent of Money Never Sleeps' audience was over 30 years old and evenly split between genders.

The first Wall Street debuted nearly 23 years ago and earned $4.1 million its first weekend, or the equivalent of double that adjusted for ticket-price inflation, but it played at a fifth of the theaters that Money Never Sleeps had. Its $43.8 million final tally would equal close to $87 million today, a sum that the sequel is unlikely to reach based on its first weekend returns. Though the original was far from a blockbuster, it continued to resonate through the years, as Gordon Gekko's "Greed is good" speech was a go-to clip in the media, and the country's current financial crisis made a sequel potentially topical. But topicality doesn't' necessarily translate to box office, so the movie's advertising was all about the return of the outrageous Gekko and Michael Douglas' reprisal.

'Wall Street' Sequel Yields Solid Returns - Box Office Mojo

I saw Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps today - it definitely is a good film and a sequel worth 23 years waiting. While it is good, I doubt it will leave a powerful cultural impact that its predecessor pulled off. It will however make you conscious about money, especially when you think about banking irregularities, accounting fraud, etc.

While the focus of the media buzz is on Michael Douglas due to the popularity of his character Gordon Gekko, other actors in the film delivered very powerful performances, namely Frank Langella and Josh Brolin.Also it's nice to see Shia L. play a more dramatic role, so much it made me forget about his awful act in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. He can be taken seriously.

A solid film.
