Drew Barrymore’s Ex Drops Out of Her Film

There’s a reason why they say you should never date a co-worker…
Nearly a month after breaking up with Drew Barrymore, Live Free or Die Hard‘s Justin Long has reportedly dropped out of his next film. The actor, who had been dating the free-spirited actress for about a year, was scheduled to star in Whip It!, Barrymore’s directorial debut.
According to E!, Long chose to back out of the movie shortly before shooting was scheduled to begin. The 30-year-old is supposedly still too “distraught” by the break-up to work under Barrymore. (Apparently some actors can’t separate their emotions from their work.) Unfortunately, distancing himself from the roller derby film won’t necessarily help Justin avoid Drew. The two still have to promote He’s Just Not That Into You later next year.

Box Office Breakdown: Viewers Get Caught Up In A Sticky Web
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: FOCUS, Disney, New Line, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Animation, Drama, Family, Foreign, Horror, Mystery, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Sports, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases
Let’s see if it’s possible for me to say something terribly surprising…
Spider-Man 3 scored the largest domestic debut for a movie ever ($59.8 million on Friday). Two days later, it broke the box office record for the highest grossing weekend ever ($151 million). Both records were previously set by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
With no strong competitors next week, Spidey is bound to stay on top. But all things could change in just a matter of weeks when Shrek rolls into town (May 18th). And let’s not forget about that Captain Jack Sparrow. May 25th could be the day that the third Pirates installment sails in to reclaim the box office booty.
1. Spider-Man 3, Sony, $151,116,516
2. Disturbia, Paramount, $5,844,363
3. Fracture, New Line, $3,696,060
4. The Invisible, Disney, $3,261,374
5. Next, Paramount, $2,892,335
6. Lucky You, Warner Bros., $2,710,445
7. Meet the Robinsons, Disney, $2,619,654
8. Blades of Glory, Paramount, $2,409,106
9. Hot Fuzz, Focus, $2,219,346
10. Are We Done Yet?, Sony, $1,744,619

Just like the Spartan forces, the movie 300 was bound to lose steam. But that doesn’t mean it won’t still take out a round of movies on its way down! Here’s the breakdown for the past weekend:
1. 300, Warner Bros., $32,877,328
2. Wild Hogs, Disney, $19,058,871
3. Premonition, Sony, $17,558,689
4. Dead Silence, Universal, $7,842,725
5. I Think I Love My Wife, Fox Searchlight, $5,674,802
6. Bridge to Terabithia, Disney, $5,192,153
7. Ghost Rider, Sony, $4,176,658
8. Zodiac, Paramount, $3,287,560
9. Norbit, Paramount, $2,766,593
10. Music & Lyrics, Warner Bros., $2,272,317
Box Office Breakdown: 300 Tears It Up
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Family, Music, Mystery, Period, Romance, Comedy, Thrillers, Box Office, Lists, New Releases
Ghost Rider and Wild Hogs step aside. Throngs of men in need of a testosterone-laden movie were apparently craving more than just motorcycles. According to the latest box office numbers, what they really needed were swords. And blood. And Spartan women.
Trapped inside a crowded theater this weekend, I knew 300 would be successful. But who could have guessed it would be this big?? The latest movie to be based on a Frank Miller graphic novel raked in nearly $71 million. That’s the largest opening for a movie in March…ever. Additionally, it was the 3rd largest opening for an ‘R’ rated movie (right behind The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of the Christ).
