		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to say I&#8217;m surprised by this, but honestly, I&#8217;m not. Not after my niece told me she had bought two tickets to see &#8220;Twilight: New Moon&#8221; on Friday in back-to-back screenings. Let me say that again: she pre-ordered tickets to see the same movie, on the same night, back-to-back. Now multiply my niece by a million or so screaming teenage girls, and you have yourself a record $72.7 million single-day box office record.
According to studio estimates, the Chris Weitz-directed &#8220;New Moon&#8221; used $26.3 million from Thursday&#8217;s Midnight showing to hit the record number, beating the previous record holder, Christopher Nolan&#8217;s &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221;, which took a then-unheard of $67.2 million in one day just a scant year ago.
What&#8217;s next in &#8220;New Moon&#8217;s&#8221; sights? How about the $158.4 million 3-day record held by &#8212; you guessed it &#8212; &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Or perhaps, just the biggest movie of 2009. Either/or. According to the folks at online movie ticket vendor Fandango, advance ticket sales numbers for &#8220;The Twilight Saga: New Moon&#8221; has easily beat out every movie in the company&#8217;s 10-year history, including &#8220;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&#8221; and &#8220;Stars Wars: Episode III &#8212; Revenge of the Sith.&#8221; The film is also MovieTickets.com&#8217;s bestselling pre-sold title in its history. All that is leading industry insiders to predict something in the range of an $85 million opening weekend for Summit&#8217;s tale of lovelorn High School girls and their vampire/werewolf crushes. My own guess? Somewhere closer to $100 million.
To capitalize on the Chris Weitz-directed &#8220;New Moon&#8221;, Summit will be re-releasing the first &#8220;Twilight&#8221; (which has grossed over $380 million worldwide) back into 2,057 theaters on Thursday. It will then deliver &#8220;New Moon&#8221; into 3,500 theaters for its Thursday midnight showing, and expanding it to 4,024 by Friday morning. Basically, if you&#8217;re a diehard [...]]]></description>

The German director has blown up, imperiled, or invaded the Planet Earth at least a half dozen times in his career, and his latest, the mother of all disaster epics &#8220;2012&#8243; crashed, demolished, and mass murdered the global population on its way to a $65 million domestic box office debut (and $225 million worldwide). Set in the year 2012, when it is believed that the Mayan Calender will predict the end of the world, the $200 million dollar movie stars John Cusack as an Everyman turned superhero who somehow always manages to survive one mega disaster after another. Danny Glover plays the President who is, no doubt, too old for this shit.
Last week&#8217;s #1, the Jim Carrey animated &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; humbugged its way to second place with another $22 million, giving it a two-week total of $63 million. Considering the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says you can&#8217;t have Christmas in November? Not Jim Carrey and director Robert Zemeckis. The duo&#8217;s CG take on the timeless &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; took the top spot at the box office in its debut, knocking last week&#8217;s champ, Michael Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;This is it&#8221; of its perch to second place. &#8220;Carol&#8221; took in $31 million in its debut, good enough for first place, but not quite as spectacular as expected, given the film&#8217;s whopping $200 million budget. &#8220;This is It&#8221;, which is composed entirely of rehearsal footage starring the late Michael Jackson as he prepared for his would-be comeback concert tour, managed to hold onto second place with another $14 million, giving it a two-week domestic total of $57.8 million. The film continues to perform well overseas, already collecting $186.5 million in worldwide tickets.
Besides &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221;, there were four other new films at a crowded box office, with the George Clooney military satire &#8220;The Men Who Stare at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a week without any other major studio competition, the Michael Jackson concert (rehearsal) movie &#8220;This is It&#8221; opened with  $101 million worldwide, including $32 million in domestic ticket sales over a 5-day period, according to studio estimates. That&#8217;s good, but it&#8217;s nowhere as good as studio insiders had been predicting just a week ago. The domestic take, in particular, is disappointing, given that industry predictions had it in the $50-$60 million dollar range, and some brave (moronic?) Sony suit was reported to be predicting a $250 million take in the film&#8217;s first 5-days. A tad too ambitious, as it now turns out.
The concert film was stitched together from raw rehearsal footage starring Jackson as he prepared to launch a worldwide tour, which never happened when the pop singer suddenly died from a heart attack four months ago. In all, the footage and film rights cost Sony $60 million, an investment that would appear to have paid off, if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It used to be you could just toss a script together and call it &#8220;Saw&#8221;, release it on Halloween, and the kids would flock to see it. Well that&#8217;s still sort of true, though not nearly in the same league as previous incarnations of the &#8220;Saw&#8221; franchise. Especially when there is actual competition in the widening &#8220;Paranormal Activity&#8221;, the little horror movie that could, which continues to draw in audiences thanks to outstanding word of mouth. The low-budget horror movie, made for less than what &#8220;Saw 6&#8243; probably paid for one day of catering, pulled in another $22 million at the box office in the film&#8217;s first 1,945 screen week, according to studio estimates.
Mind you, not that &#8220;Saw 6&#8243; did badly &#8212; the sixth film in the neverending franchise about a slick killer and his proteges opened with $14.8 million in its debut, much less than the previous five entries in the series, but still easily turning a profit. Thanks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says it&#8217;s all about the kids? The weekend box office proves that adult moviegoers still have some clout, as they flocked to see Spike Jonze&#8217;s adaptation of &#8220;Where the Wild Things Are&#8221; to the tune of $32.5 million, according to studio estimates. The equally adult &#8220;Law Abiding Citizen&#8221;, starring Gerard Butler as a vengeful father who takes his vengeance out on the city of Philadelphia and Jamie Foxx also scored well in its debut, clearing out $21 million in change. Both films successfully fought of middling reviews (and mostly negative reviews for &#8220;Citizen&#8221;) to hit just the right note in their respective debuts.
Meanwhile, the big news is that Oren Peli&#8217;s little horror movie that could took in a whopping $20 million in its fourth week of release, the first week where the $15,000 dollar movie was expanded into 760 theaters for the first time. The film has done so well ($33.7 million so far from very limited screenings in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure, the trailers looked predictable and you could see the jokes coming a half million miles away, but thanks to the absence of any competition from major studio releases, the Universal Pictures comedy &#8220;Couples Retreat&#8221; easily took the box office with $35 million in its debut, according to studio estimates. That was about $15 million more than industry predictions, once again proving that &#8220;industry insiders&#8221; don&#8217;t know squat about what people want to see. 
The Vince Vaughn-Jon Favreau comedy was geared towards older audiences, and that&#8217;s who turned out in droves, including a majority of women. The film fended off bad reviews from critics and leaned on a solid premise to beat back the zombie hordes of &#8220;Zombieland&#8221;, knocking that picture off the #1 perch to #2. Still, &#8220;Zombieland&#8221; continues its surprising showing at the box office, taking another solid $15 million in its second week of release. The Woody Harrelson horror-comedy has earned a robust $47.8 million in two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chick flick? Romantic comedy? Whatever, it&#8217;s all about the zombies. Ruben Fleischer&#8217;s &#8220;Zombieland&#8221; took its end of the world zombie apocalypse to the big screen and it paid off handsomely. The horror-comedy starring Woody Harrelson as a gun-toting redneck in an America overrun by the living dead took the top spot at the box office with an impressive $25 million, according to studio estimates. Not bad for a film budgeted at a reported $23.6 million. It also marked Woody Harrelson&#8217;s biggest opening weekend ever, and knocked the reigning champ, &#8220;Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs&#8221; off its pedestal. 
&#8220;Zombieland&#8221; shared the weekend with two other new films, the Drew Barrymore comedy &#8220;Whip It!&#8221; and the Ricky Gervais starrer &#8220;The Invention of Lying&#8221;. The latter film managed to land at #4 with $7.35 million, while &#8220;Whip It!&#8221;, a comedy about roller derby chicks and Drew Barrymore&#8217;s directorial debut landed out of the Top 5 at #6 with $4.85 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Never underestimate the power of a family-friendly film. That&#8217;s the lesson Hollywood should be learning just about now, as the CG animated movie &#8220;Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs&#8221; continues its hold on the box office for the second straight week. The film, based on a popular children&#8217;s book, took in another $24.6 million in its second week of release, according to studio estimates, giving it a 2-week total of $60 million at the domestic box office. The film&#8217;s second week take nearly doubled that of the highest earner among the trio of new films at the box office.
In another blow to Bruce Willis&#8217; star power, the expensive &#8220;Surrogates&#8221; came in at second place with $15 million, well short of industry expectations. But at least it did better than the Ben Foster/Dennis Quaid sci-fi thriller &#8220;Pandorum&#8221;, which didn&#8217;t even manage to break through the Top 5, just barely managing a #6 placement with a weak $4.7 million opening. &#8220;Pandorum&#8221; just [...]]]></description>

Two other films opened this week: the Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy &#8220;Love Happens&#8221;, co-starring Two-Face, and Megan Fox&#8217;s debut as a leading lady, the Diablo Cody-penned horror-comedy &#8220;Jennifer&#8217;s Body&#8221;. The first Jennifer&#8217;s movie opened at fourth place with $8.4 million, while Jennifer #2 managed only $6.8 million in its debut. 
Not exactly great numbers for the two ladies, but let&#8217;s put it in perspective: Aniston&#8217;s romcom was made on the cheap ($18 [...]]]></description>

The man is so prolific, he has twenty TV shows running at the same time, and as I type this, he&#8217;s got 50 more movies in the pipeline. Okay, maybe he&#8217;s not that prolific, but it ain&#8217;t that far off. Perry&#8217;s latest, &#8220;I can Do Bad All By Myself&#8221; opened at the top spot with $24 million according to studio estimates, easily dominating a weak weekend at the movies.
Of the other films fighting for Tyler Perry&#8217;s box office scraps, the CG animated &#8220;9&#8243;, about a band of sentient puppet creatures trying to make their way across a post-apocalyptic landscape, came out on top, opening in second place with $10.8 million. The film was produced by Tim Burton and &#8220;Wanted&#8221; director Timur Bekmambetov, and featured the voice talents of Elijah Woods and Jennifer Connelly. They should have begged Perry to do a guest cameo.

		<description><![CDATA[I feel for the boys Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Their films are almost always unique in style and content, but they rarely get a lot of mainstream love from the moviegoers. Their latest, &#8220;Gamer&#8221; has landed with a dud in theaters with a less than stellar $9 million debut according to studio estimates, just good enough to land the film at #4. It was beaten out by the Sandra Bullock comedy &#8220;All About Steve&#8221;, a movie so bad the studio dumped it into theaters with barely any advertising. &#8220;Steve&#8221; made $11.2 million in its debut, good enough for second place.
Last week&#8217;s #1, the teen splatter sequel &#8220;Final Destination 4&#8243; continued to dangle its teen bodycount in front of the competition, retaining the top spot with another solid $12.4 million, giving it a two-week total of $47.5 million, more than its $40 estimated budget. I guess it&#8217;s true what they say: people just loves seeing pretty young people get sliced, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who says the audience have had enough of stupid teens getting killed in awesomely groovy ways on the big screen? If that was the case, then &#8220;The Final Destination&#8221;, the fourth part in the &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t pay to cheat death&#8221; horror franchise wouldn&#8217;t have landed at #1 with $28 million, according to studio estimates. The week&#8217;s other horrific opener, Rob Zombie&#8217;s follow-up to his 2007 reboot of John Carpenter&#8217;s &#8220;Halloween&#8221; just missed out of the #2 spot, landing at third place with $17 million in its debut.
The &#8220;Halloween&#8221; reboot sequel was just shy of the $3 million it would have needed to beat out Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s &#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221;, which fell to second place with another $20 million, a 47% drop-off from the film&#8217;s stellar first-week opening. That was still good enough to give the WWII talkfest $73.7 million in two weeks, more than putting the film in the black considering its (by Hollywood standards) modest $70 million dollar price tag.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to believe, but Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s biggest box office debut so far has been 2004&#8217;s &#8220;Kill Bill&#8221;, which opened with $25 million on its way to a $66 million domestic haul. Five years later, Tarantino returns with his fantasized version of World War II, &#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221;, which exceeded industry expectations by pulling in an impressive $37.6 million in its debut, according to studio estimates.
Budgeted at around $70 million, &#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221; marks Tarantino&#8217;s biggest opening film to date, and seems poised to overtake the $107 million that his 1992 breakthrough film &#8220;Pulp Fiction&#8221; took in at the domestic box office. Of course, the film&#8217;s second week will determine if this weekend&#8217;s $37 million came from diehard QT fans (you know, the ones that scour these here Interwebs and pee in their pants whenever he announces a movie?), or if it has, as the industry folks say, &#8220;legs&#8221;. My guess is that anyone who wanted to see the film has seen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Bill Gates and company over at Microsoft are smart, they&#8217;ll look at what Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp managed with the $30 million dollar &#8220;District 9&#8243; and immediately greenlight a &#8220;Halo&#8221; movie, complete with north of $100 million dollar budget. The Jackson-produced and Blomkamp-directed &#8220;District 9&#8243;, the duo&#8217;s collaboration after the &#8220;Halo&#8221; movie fell through, touched down at first place over the box office weekend, taking in an impressive $37 million, according to studio estimates. Not bad for a movie with no stars, though the fact that the film sold Jackson&#8217;s name like he was the director probably helped. The film, made for a reported $30 million, chronicles the existence of aliens who are kept apart from humans, feared, and exploited after arriving in South Africa. Sound familiar?
The week&#8217;s other big opening film, the time traveling romance &#8220;The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife&#8221; opened at third place with a solid $19 million. Last weekend&#8217;s #1, &#8220;G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra&#8221; fell [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proving that they don&#8217;t need no stinkin&#8217; critics to review their movie, Paramount and Hasbro&#8217;s latest toyline movie invasion, &#8220;G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra&#8221; came up tops at the box office over the weekend with a solid $56 million dollar opening in domestic ticket sales. The film also scooped up an additional $44 million in overseas tickets, giving it a $100 million haul in its debut week, according to studio estimates.
Although &#8220;Rise of Cobra&#8217;s&#8221; $56 million is solid, the film&#8217;s second week will determine if it&#8217;s a hit or a miss, given the movie&#8217;s staggering $175 million budget, not including advertising costs. At this rate, the movie would have to continually maintain its ticket sales just to break even. That doesn&#8217;t seem very likely, given the movie&#8217;s poor reviews and generally average word of mouth. Basically, if you wanted to see &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221;, you probably saw it over the weekend. Expect the numbers to plummet in week two.

		<description><![CDATA[Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow and their comedian pals scored at the box office &#8212; their debut film, the comedy-drama &#8220;Funny People&#8221; took the top spot with a $23.4 million debut, according to studio estimates. The film starred Sandler as a successful but lonely comedian who begins to take stock of his life after a health scare. While good enough for first place, the film didn&#8217;t exactly post &#8220;wow&#8221; numbers, and it&#8217;ll be interesting to see how it holds up next week with &#8220;G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra&#8221; opening. Still, it did better than &#8220;The Collector&#8221;, the latest would-be horror franchise from the &#8220;Saw&#8221; boys, which opened just barely out of the Top 10 at #11 with $3.6 million from 1,325 screens.
Last week&#8217;s king of the box office, the guinea pig action-adventure &#8220;G-Force&#8221; dropped to third place with another $17 million, for a two-week total of $66 million. After getting knocked down to second place last week by the furry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Never underestimate the power of cuddly live-action talking guinea pigs. Jerry Bruckheimer didn&#8217;t, and after his &#8220;G-Forced&#8221; opened at #1 over the weekend (according to studio estimates), I think we can safely say that the man is a genius. Okay, maybe not a genius, but he certainly knows what people want to see, and tiny, secret agent guinea pigs was it this time around. &#8220;G-Force&#8221; made its debut at the top of the box office with a $32 million haul, beating out the second weekend of &#8220;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&#8221; for the top honors, but only by a pair of whiskers &#8212; or $2 million. The sixth &#8220;Potter&#8221; movie brought in another $30 million, giving it a 2-week total of $222 million so far.
The week&#8217;s other new release, the Gerard Butler-Katherine Heigl romantic comedy &#8220;The Ugly Truth&#8221; scored a pretty handsome $27 million in its debut, while the horror movie &#8220;Orphan&#8221; shocked audiences to the tune of $12.7 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harry and his fellow wizards should have give the kids more time to miss them more often, if this week&#8217;s box office take for the film, the sixth in the franchise, is any indication. &#8220;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&#8221; proves that absence makes the heart grow fonder, as the film, opening two years after the last one, &#8220;Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix&#8221;, swooped in for the kill to the tune of $159 million in five days of release, according to studio estimates. That&#8217;s the second biggest 5-day Wednesday opening, bested only by Michael Bay&#8217;s &#8220;Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen&#8221; earlier this Summer.
The $159 million it scored at the U.S. box office, combined with the $237 million it took in in overseas markets in the same time period, gives &#8220;Half-Blood Prince&#8221; a total of $396 million in just five days of release. At this rate, the film should easily overtake the $300 million mark at the Stateside [...]]]></description>
