The numbers are in for the weekend box office and the talking Chihuahua film was a definite hit with the crowds, if not with critics. Beverly Hills Chihuahua remained at number one after opening last weekend to take in an estimated $17.5 million. New opener horror flick Quarantine was number two at $14 million, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe’s cerebral thriller, Body of Lies opened at number three with $13 million. Analysts say that people just aren’t interested in anything close to real-life drama after the recent economic freefall and want some mindless escapism at the movies. There are even stories of adults going to see the talking dog adventure movie on their own:
Disney’s family comedy “Beverly Hills Chihuahua,” with Drew Barrymore providing the voice of the pooch, was the No. 1 flick for the second-straight weekend with $17.5 million, raising its 10-day total to $52.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
“Beverly Hills Chihuahua” is the only light comedy in a market heavy on drama. Chuck Viane, Disney’s head of distribution, said movie-goers may be turning to the perky pooch to help forget the market free-fall on Wall Street.
“This is only word-of-mouth coming back to us from theaters. I don’t have any statistical proof. But they’re telling us we’re getting more unaccompanied-by-children adults coming on their own. They’re looking for a little entertainment,” Viane said. “The axiom we’ve always lived by is funny is money. People come out for comedy. They love to sit back and let someone give them a couple of hours of escapism.”
The weekend’s No. 2 flick _ the fright film “Quarantine,” which debuted with $14.2 million _ filled the escapism needs for the horror crowd. The Sony Screen Gems release centers on a contagion that turns an apartment building’s tenants into flesh-hungry monsters.
“It’s probably the perfect kind of movie for today’s climate,” said Rory Bruer, Sony head of distribution. “Let’s just get away from the news, from all that’s going on, and go someplace else, and this is something that’ll take you someplace else.”
The marquee trio of Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott had to settle for third-place with their terrorism thriller “Body of Lies,” which had a $13.1 million debut. The Warner Bros. film centers on a CIA operative hunting the terrorist responsible for bombings around the world.
[AP via Huffington Post]
There’s always DVD sales for Body of Lies, which was expected to do at least 40% better in its opening weekend. There’s not a huge difference in the critics opinions for any of the top three movies. Beverly Hills Chihuahua gets a 42% aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics calling it “shallow”, “generic”, and “innoffensive” family fare.Quarantine is rated the best at 67%. Some call it “brutally realistic,” and an edge of your seat thriller. Body of Lies falls somewhere in between the two with 52%. It’s being blasted as too long and too dependent on DiCaprio and Crowe to carry an implausible overly-slick spy film. It clocks in at two hours and eight minutes, and people would rather spend that time in a fantasy world where cute dogs talk and go on adventures.
Clint Eastwood’s seemingly depressing 20s kidnap film, Changeling starring Angelina Jolie, opens October 24 in limited release and is out in general release on Halloween. It faces competition from Max Payne, The Secret Life of Bees, Saw V, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The 3D version of The Nightmare before Christmas also comes out October 24. You can kind of predict which films are going to clean up at the box office and which ones people will avoid in favor of lighter fare.

In another round of Hollywood remaking a movie that should be left alone, Paramount and High School Musical 3 director Kenny Ortega want to put High School Musical star Zac Efron in the role of Ren McCormack in a musical remake of Footloose.
After “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”, Hollywood newest hunk Zac Efron is likely to step into another musical role. Words are circulating in the media that “Senior Year” director Kenny Ortega wants the 20-year-old to take the lead role of the modern version of “Footloose”, insisting that Efron would be “perfect” for the role.
Revealing his desire to re-team with his Troy Bolton’s depicter, Ortega told BBC, “I think he’d be the perfect, perfect, perfect candidate to step in. I mean he’s got this global excitement, this wonderful know-how.” Further hinting that Efron may take the role once belonging to Kevin Bacon, the filmmaker then added, “He’s the perfect age, so versatile, and talented and dynamic. You know it’s hard for me to even imagine anybody that I think would be more perfectly suited.”
[From AceShowbiz]
I don’t have an issue with the casting. When it comes to musicals for the younger set, Efron certainly seems the go-to guy of the moment. He has the right look, and could, on his own, probably make the movie a hit. Even Suri Cruise is rumored to have a crush on Zac Efron. Efron is very into being the Ren for a new generation, and in keeping musicals alive in general, and I’m all for that.
About the possible part in “Footloose” remake, the Nikki Blonsky’s co-star in “Hairspray” commented, “I’ll always be open to more musicals. I think they’re fun and I think it’s our responsibility as performers to try and keep them alive. I love Footloose - it’s a great movie.”
[From AceShowbiz]
I’m not excited, however, about the trend of remaking movies that were hits only 20 years ago. I’m equally unimpressed with Footloose going the way of High School Musical. As far as movies go, Footloose would probably translate to the musical format well, it was a Broadway musical that was successful. But there’s a huge musical leap between, say, Chicago and High School Musical 1, 2 or 3. One is genuine musical genre, the other is kids bouncing around singing adsurd lyrics to unfortunate tunes. It has it’s place, but that place is the Disney channel, and needs to be kept away from classic teen movies of the 80’s.
Stay away from The Breakfast Club, Hollywood, I’m warning you.
Note by Celebitchy: Zac recently admitted that he’s been approached to take over for Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway production of Equus. This would mean that Efron would have to get fully nude on stage, too.

Valkyrie - Theatrical Trailer
Tom Cruise starts as a Nazi higher up with a personal mission to kill Hilter in Valkyrie, a new movie out this Christmas. A new trailer is out and it cuts between scenes at a past that’s so dizzyingly fast that I had to look away at points. It paints Cruise as a hero with a mission. We all know how it turns out, though.
As I commented on JayBird’s coverage of the first trailer back in November 2007 why doesn’t Cruise have an accent? I know it’s not technically authentic if you’re not speaking the source language in an historical film, but the actors usually strive to mimic the accents of people from the country. It seems kind of outrageous that Cruise didn’t even try. Maybe they discussed it and decided they may as well just sound like themselves. Some of the “Nazis” even have British accents. At least they could make it consistent.
Cruise is very good at playing conflicted characters and he can probably pull this off. Whether the movie will be a success or not we’ll have to see. It’s had its release date changed several times, and there’s been negative advance buzz. The film was scheduled to come out in February, but right around the time that Cruise’s partner, Paula Wagner, stepped down from United Artists it was announced that Valkyrie would have a holiday release. It was perhaps part of Wagner’s negotiations for leaving UA.
Thanks to Geno’s World via Fark for the heads up.

I worship the ground Clint Eastwood walks on, but even if I didn’t, I would still have to admit that the trailer for Changeling looks freaking amazing. Add the fact that the film stars my pick for the sexiest woman on the planet (even if she does look a little haggard here), Angelina Jolie, and is based on a screenplay written by one of my favorite comicbook writers, J. Michael Straczynski, and what we have is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Changeling hits theatres October 31st, 2008.

Rachel Getting Married is a contemporary drama with an aggressive sense of humor about the return of an estranged daughter to the family home for her sister’s wedding. Kym’s (Hathaway) reemergence throws a wrench into the family dynamics, forcing long-simmering tensions to surface in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking. Rachel Getting Married paints a colorful, nuanced family portrait and is filled with the rich characters that have always been a hallmark of Jonathan Demme’s films.
Rachel Getting Married with Anne Hathaway was getting all the buzz the Toronto Film Festival and after seeing that trailer it is obvious why. I can’t wait to see that movie when it comes out in limited release on October 3rd.
BTW on a side note I love love love Rogue Wave’s cover of Everyday at the end of the trailer.

It’s been 24 years since the comedy blockbuster Ghostbusters hit screens, and 19 years since it’s less successful sequel, Ghostbusters II. Universal Studios is said to be working on a third installment of the hilarious ghost-fighting squad, and intends to feature all four of the original castmembers, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. The scriptwriters of the new installment, two guys who write for The Office, have presented their initial version of Ghostbusters III to Universal, which is said to be on board. The only problem is that Harold Ramis, the writer/director of the first two Ghostbusters films, wasn’t told about the planned new film until the script was already written, and he strongly objected. Ramis plays the nerdy Ghostbuster with the glasses, and he’s said to be pretty pissed that all this was done without consulting him first.
So, a few of the trade websites, including Ain’t It Cool News, are reporting on the possibility of a Ghostbusters 3, mostly based on this statement Dan Aykroyd made to EOnline:
“Well, y’know, two sharp young writers are purported to be writing the sequel, the third movie now. If I could interest Seth [Rogen] and Judd [Apatow] to be part of it, that would be an absolute dream.”
There had also been some talk that Rogen and Apatow are actually writing a script for Ghostbusters 3, which Rogen denied last month.
Anyway, here’s the scoop: A couple of guys named Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, writers for “The Office” who wrote the script for the forthcoming Year One, had been secretly working on a script for Ghostbusters 3. Their idea was that they’d hand it off to a new generation of Ghostbusters. However, Columbia Pictures never actually told Harold Ramis they were working on the script. Oops.
So, Stupnitsky and Eisenberg wrote an outline, which Columbia loved. Ramis found out, however, and he was pissed, and when they sent the outline to Ramis, he shat all over it.
Now, to appease Ramis, Stupnisky and Eisenberg have started working with him on a new outline.
The problem: Columbia Pictures is worried because they don’t like any of Ramis’ ideas, all of which presumably leaves the future of Ghostbusters 3 up in the air.
Then again, if we can get a Ghostbusters 3 out of the writing duo behind some of the best episodes of “The Office” — without the involvement of Ramis — I’ve got high hopes for Ghostbusters: The New Class.
[From Pajiba]
Maybe Ramis will let go of creative control if enough cash is in it for him. It’s a great idea and one that’s long overdue - maybe too long. The first Ghostbusters was hilarious, the second not too much. If the writers work on The Office though, it could be a fresh and funny take on the original theme. Just don’t expect to see Ramis making another appearance.
Vanity Fair notes that Ghostbusters is the third highest grossing film for Universal ever, and only falls behind Men in Black and Spiderman. We’ll see another sequel if it’s possible.

I’m a huge western fan and last year’s 3:10 To Yuma was one of my favorite movies to come out in the last few years (it actually took the number two spot in our Top 10 Movies of 2007 list), so getting another western this year is music to my ears. Here’s the trailer for Appaloosa starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Jeremy Irons, and Renee Zellweger… looks great. Appaloosa hits theatres October 3, 2008.

I’m not really interested in animated movies that are not by Pixar, but after watching this leaked video of the Monsters Vs. Aliens trailer, I may have to make an exception. It looks hilarious. Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Will Arnett, and Stephen Colbert are just a few of the stars lending their voices for the film. Monsters Vs. Aliens hits theatres March 27th, 2009.

Hmm, I still don’t know what to make of Frank Miller’s The Spirit. I’m definitely going to go see it, but I don’t know whether I’m going to totally love it or if I’m going to want to throw my chair at the screen. I mean, it looks cool, and I love that Miller injected Sin City into it, but at the same time it reeks of “possible disaster”. Oh well, at least it has Samuel L. Jackson and a ton of hot celebrity dames. The Spirit hits theatres Christmas Day.

What was hilarious dance flick Footloose really about? "It was about fighting against oppression," actress Lori Singer explained to a nodding Matt Lauer today. "Trying to stop us from dancing. Kevin, can you imagine? Trying to prevent us from reading books. All kinds of things." After the movie, Singer even got a call from a town that was actually trying to ban dancing! 
It takes a lot of people—and assorted creatures—to stage an epic war between the forces of good and evil that spans an entire galaxy. Sadly, most of the minor players are long forgotten thanks to scene stealers like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. But these obscure warriors are being properly celebrated today. More after the jump.
