The Rite may not currently be up for an Oscar, but it does have an Oscar winner – and a box office win.
Anthony Hopkins’ first wide release since The Wolfman cut No Strings Attached from its top spot this past weekend. The film, which debuted during (another) East Coast weather event, managed to shovel up $14.8 million in ticket sales.
The Mechanic, featuring action star Jason Statham, also found a place in the Top Ten. The film – a remake of a Charles Bronson movie – opened in third place with $11.4 million.

Box Office Breakdown: Meatballs Rolls to Another Victory
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, FOCUS, Disney, Lionsgate, Sony, Touchstone, Universal, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Documentary, Drama, Family, Horror, Independent, Music, Period, Remakes, Romance, Science Fiction, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists
Surrogates was no substitute for meatballs.
Despite competition from a Bruce Willis film, a music-based remake and a sci-fi horror entry, A Cloudy Chance of Meatballs remained the theatergoers’ order of choice for the second week in a row. The children’s book adaptation had Sony dining to the tune of $25 million—over $10 million more than the second place finisher.
Many thought Willis, who hasn’t had a major role since 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard, was on track to take first this weekend. Unfortunately, his
movie was considered a big letdown given its $15 million gross and $80 million budget. Meanwhile, Fame, a remake of the 1980 hit, had no one feeling like they wanted to live forever. The MGM feature only rung up $10 million for third place.

Review: 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Lionsgate, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Thrillers, New Releases, Upcoming Releases, Theatrical Reviews
When struggling Arizona rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) sets out one morning to find his lost cattle, he happens upon a stagecoach robbery and a gang of thieves led by infamous outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe). In need of money, Evans volunteers to help capture Wade in a nearby town, escort him to a railroad stop, and put him on the “3:10 to Yuma”, a train that takes prisoners to trial. There’s only one problem: Wade’s gang is looking for their boss, and they’ll kill anyone who gets in the way. 3:10 to Yuma is based on the classic 1957 western of the same name.
I had a chance to see the film a week early (thanks, Warren Report); here is an in-depth review of the action-packed western.
