Ocean's Thirteen (13), 2007, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon
Ocean's Thirteen is a 2007 film directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring an ensemble cast. It is the third (and reportedly final ) in the Soderbergh series following the 2004 sequel Ocean's Twelve and the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven, which itself was a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack film Ocean's Eleven. The latter was highly influenced by Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob le Flambeur (1955). All of the cast members reprised their roles from the previous installments except for Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin joined the cast as their new targets.
This film was rated PG-13 by the MPAA.
The film was released on June 8, 2007, although it was released in several countries in the Middle East on June 6.
Filming began in July 2006 in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, based on a script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
The film did substantially well on its first weekend, notching the top spot. Despite being opened in 250 more theaters than Ocean's Twelve, it had a slightly weaker opening weekend than the former, pulling in $36 million, compared to Twelve's $39 million opening weekend. However, the film had much stronger competition than its predecessor, competing with big summer blockbusters, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Shrek the Third (in their third and fourth weeks respectively), the opening Surf's Up and Hostel: Part II, and the surprise box office hit, Knocked Up (in its second weekend). Considering the unusually strong competition, the film had an impressive opening. As of 2007-08-10 Ocean's Thirteen has taken in $116.3 million in the U.S alone. Overseas the film has made $169 million pushing its total worldwide gross to $285.3 million.
Critical reception to the movie has generally been positive with some critics liking the movie's style while others criticizing it for its over-complexity. Joel Siegel, in what would turn out to be his last review for Good Morning America, raved on the movie, saying that if it had been the first movie, there still would have been a sequel. IMDb gave it a 7.3 rating. On the internet movie website Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received an overall 69% score, while on Yahoo! Movies, it garnered an average B grade.Wikipedia
