Box Office Breakdown: Another Win for Final Destination
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Miramax, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Period, Political, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
Ticket buyers ended their summer vacations by booking The Final Destination. For the 2nd time in a row, the horror entry topped all entries with a 1st place finish. Thanks to the $15.3 million added to the pot, Warner Bros. saw its sequel rise above the $50 million mark during the Labor Day weekend
Inglourious Basterds pulled in another $15 million and narrowly missed another win of its own. The WWII movie has now raked in over $95 million domestically and given Quentin Tarantino the 2nd best gross of his career. (Pulp Fiction is still the champ.)
Meanwhile, Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper joined forces for a 3rd place debut. All About Steve may not have done Proposal or Hangover-esque numbers, but the comedy did walk away with something to brag about. The Fox feature totaled the largest per screen average of any movie in the Top 10.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Miramax, Comedy, New Releases, Trailers,
Are there two people better equipped to discuss a Mike Judge film than Beavis and Butthead?

“In this movie, you have a chick with big boobs, a dude who gets his nuts knocked off and then a dude who gets paid to have sex. Oh yeah - and then there’s a bunch of bottles of extract too,” Butthead explains.
Sound appealing? Then be sure to check the film out when it opens this Friday, September 4.

Casting Corner: James McAvoy, Ben Affleck, Nicolas Cage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Miramax, Adaptation, Animation, Drama, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:
It seems as if there isn’t a woman James McAvoy can’t romance. In the past few years, he’s been paired with Gillian Anderson, Keira Knightley, Anne Hathway and, of course, Angelina Jolie. Now the rising actor will be taking on his biggest chemistry challenge yet.
In Gnomeo and Juliet, McAvoy and Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) will voice characters in a CGI-animated version of the Shakespeare drama. But those looking for any Montagues or Capulets will be pleasantly surprised. In this version, the lovers will actually come from rivaling families of garden gnomes.
This film, co-produced by Elton John, will also feature music from the Lion King musician. The feature should be completed by 2010.
