Prince Caspian

Although it failed to reach expectations, was still mighty enough to take down Robert Downey Jr. this past weekend. The Disney sequel pulled in over $55 million dollars and earned itself a first place finish. Unfortunately, the film’s gross was slightly disappointing given the first installment’s take; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe opened at $65.6 million back in 2005. 

In other adaptation news, Warner Bros.’ continued to fall behind in the race.  The colorful adventure slipped another notch into fourth, right behind What Happens in Vegas. Meanwhile, Iron Man‘s $31.8 million total pushed the film past the $200 million range.

Fahrenheit 9/11 Sequel Planned

Fahrenheit 9/11 - never one to shy away from controversy - is back at it again.  The writer/producer/director has chosen to follow up last year’s Sicko with a sequel to his 2004 hit, Fahrenheit 9/11.

While this movie will chronologically pick up where the original left off, it will not be about one specific event.  It will instead have a much broader focus.  According to the chief for Paramount Vantage (one of the two companies Moore is partnering with), the film “is going to tackle what’s going on in the world, and America’s place in it.”

Those already worried about the timing of Oliver Stone’s upcoming Bush project should feel at ease with this new documentary.  Moore is not planning to release the film until sometime next year - long after the presidential election is over.
