Arnon Milchan Attends Netanyahu's Historic Congressional Speech

Arnon Milchan, a central player in the development of Israel's nuclear program, was a VIP guest, seated in the gallery of the US House of Representatives as Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered his historic speech to a Joint Session of Congress about the dangers of the Iranian nuclear program. Mr. Milchan was seated between Australian billionaire James Packer and Warner Brothers Executive Gary Ginsberg. The owner of the the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, and former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Anzar were seated in the same row, just behind the guest of honor, Nobel Peace Laureate, Eli Wiesel... who was flanked by Sarah Netanyahu and Alan Dershowitz.

CONFIRMED: Arnon Milchan's 'Noah' Shoots to the Top of Worldwide Box Office Recipts. Update: Tops $300 Million

  
Arnon Milchan and his good friend,
Australian Billionaire James Packer, at the
Opening of Milchan's Noah in NYC.
March 26th 2014.
UPDATE: Noah tops $300 million world wide. Arnon Milchan and Paramount's Noah stormed to the very top of worldwide box office receipts on opening weekend...raining on the cinematic competition... flooding theaters with moviegoers... sailing to success...and every other cheesy Noah metaphor that headline writers could compose. Noah's success will undoubtedly further fatten Mr. Milchan's wallet.

It's been a busy few weeks for Arnon Milchan. After his film 12 Years a Slave won Best Picture at the 2014 Academy Awards, he hosted a private party for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a cadre of A-list stars and senior Hollywood executives at his Malibu estate. A few weeks later, his production of Noah hit the big screen, shooting to the top of worldwide ticket sales, including in the United States. Hard to imagine what the encore will be.
