“SHERLOCKHOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS” HEATS UP DECEMBER BOX OFFICE

Film is the highest-grossing release of the holiday season to date and has passed $136 million worldwide.

BURBANK,CA, December 26, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” has followed up
its number one opening by emerging as the top-grossing film to date, domestically, in this December’s very competitive holiday box office landscape.
The film is estimated to take in $90.56 million through Monday, easily leading the domestic box office for the month. In addition, the film has soared
past the $100 million markglobally, earning a combined estimated worldwide total of $136.26, while still only in a limited number of international
markets. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and VeronikaKwan-Rubinek, President of
International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Fellman stated, “Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law, together with director Guy Ritchie,have once again proven to be a winning combination for movie
goers, and we believe that the audience response and strong word of mouth will continue to carry ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows’ through the
holidays and beyond. We congratulate everyone involved in the film on once again making this classic character irresistible to contemporary
audiences.”

“SherlockHolmes: A Game of Shadows” has also opened with impressive numbers in 25international markets, including the UK, Germany and Italy,
with most major territories still to come.

Kwan-Rubineksaid, “The first ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was a huge hit with international audiences,and we are extremely pleased with the way moviegoers
have again embraced the new film. With many more markets yet to open, we are looking forward to a long and lucrative run for the film.”

Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law returns as his friend and colleague, Dr.
Watson, in“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.”

Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room…until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor James Moriarty
(Jared Harris)—and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may give him an
advantage over the renowned detective. Holmes’ investigation into Moriarty’s plot becomes more dangerous as it leads him and Watson out of
London to France, Germany and finally Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead, and moving perilously close to completing his
sinister plan. If he succeeds, it will not only bring him immense wealth and power but alter the course of history.

Filmmaker Guy Ritchie returned to direct “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows,” the follow-up to the smash hit “Sherlock Holmes.” The sequel
reunited producers Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. Bruce Berman and SteveClark-Hall served as executive producers. The
film also stars Noomi Rapace,Jared Harris, Eddie Marsan, Kelly Reilly, and Rachel McAdams. “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” was written by
Michele Mulroney & Kieran Mulroney. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were created by the late Sir ArthurConan Doyle, and appear in stories and
novels by him.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Silver Pictures Production, in association with Wigram Productions,
a Guy Ritchie Film, “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” The film is being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment
Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures. The film has been rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and
some drug material.

Mirror Mirror is a spectacular reimagining of the classic fairy tale starring Oscar® winner
Julia Roberts as the Queen, Lily Collins (The Blind Side) as Snow White, Armie Hammer (The
Social Network) as Prince Alcott, Sean Bean (“The Game of Thrones”, The Lord of the Rings:
The Return of the King) as the King and Nathan Lane (The Lion King, The Birdcage) as the
Queen's hapless and bungling servant, Brighton. An evil queen steals control of a kingdom
and an exiled princess enlists the help of seven resourceful rebels to win back her birthright
in a spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the
imagination of audiences the world over.
Visionary director Tarsem Singh (Immortals) rewrites fairy tale history as a wicked
enchantress (Roberts) schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s (Collins)
throne and the attention of a charming prince (Hammer). When Snow White’s beauty wins the
heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes her to the forest, where
a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits.
Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable
young woman determined to take back her realm from the treacherous Queen. With the
support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic
and contemporary humor in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.
