"Life of Pi" has crossed the $500M mark worldwide. Ang Lee's 3D best picture Oscar nominee has made 80 percent of its haul internationally -- grossing $100.4 million domestically and $401 million internationally for a total $501.4 million. The film, which is nominated for 11 Oscars, made headlines when debuting first in Asia, grossing $90.8 million in China alone. Now, it's doing impressive business in Europe, Latin America and Australia.- "American Psycho" is being made into a Broadway musical and Duncan Sheik, who is writing the music, says "The music is all electronic" and that 20 to 30 percent will be "songs that are either referred to in the book directly, or would have been ubiquitous in that cultural moment."
